just bought my 08 silver and black denim i searched every dealer in indiana and couldnt find any better than 10,600 otd ended up gettin it from my local dealer for 10,300 after i told them i worked in law enforcment dealer owner is a retired officer

 

Sticker price for my '08 Nightster was $10,995 I believe but we paid $10k for each bike ('08 Nightster and '08 1200C) before throwing in all the extra bull. My husband tried hustling them out of more but our salesman came back with a "He won't go any lower" whammy.
&nbsp\\;
Hope that helps.

 

$10K is fair, but the bike is already a year old. 2009 models are arriving daily. It is all the other crap that I would refuse. Doc, delivery, prep, paperwork, dealer fees. Bost in Nashville offers the negotiated price, state tax, $28 plates, and $325 freight from MoCo. http://www.bosthd.com/new_vehicle_de...p\\;pov=921568
Tell your dealer&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;no dice to the $550 to $595 dealer charge.

 

offer them 7k

 

$10,500 OTD plus got free delivery (new rider) and got free helmet, gloves, and glasses.&nbsp\\; I think it was fair compared to other dealers in my area.&nbsp\\; New York

 

I wouldn't expect much off MSRP. I don't know where you're at, but there aren't many 08's around here ... and there probably won't be many 09's either. It definitely helps to have your own financing in place (if you're going that route) - it gives you the ability to control your overall costs down the line (including the likelihood of having your financing terms beat by Eaglemark for an even better deal). Shop around to different dealerships if you have that option (and let them know it) because some will give you a better deal for your business. And while "OTD" rushed negotiations might work for some, it may not be the best route for everyone. I left the dealership with their "best price" and asked them the next day if they would drop it by $500 more. They said no at first, but a few hours later they split the difference with me - which is what I wanted. Just don't feel pressured to buy something you don't want or to buy something when you're not ready - it's not exactly a small drop in the bucket!

 

Bought my 07 for 11,ooo had 300 miles with crash bars,apes,detach windshield,four year warranty,two tone.
