Why trade at all?? Somethin wrong with your 05? Don't give away the store for 8 stinkin inches...it aint worth it....Wait till somethin big pops at the factory(can you say 120hp turbo Bagger with sub-woofer?)...then you go for it...

 

A friend of mine in IL just traded his 05 Ultra for a 08 for $6200otd. I thought it was a great price. His had 24k on it and had been down although it didn't sustain structural damage.

 

That's what my mother-in-law told her daughter.

I have an 05 fatboy with 33k miles on it. A year ago i put $3k plus in engine work on it. I stopped by the dealership the other night and there was a brand new 07 heritage with a custom harley black with blue ghost flame paint job. I was enamoured. I had to have this heritage or i would go crazy. A day passed by and its all i could think about. Finally got the courage to take my bike in for an estimate. They offered $13k for mine on trade. Damn, i just couldnt come to terms with that offer (although its a fair amount). I feel like i would be giving away the engine work for free. So i did what i had to do, and bought a custom paint set off ebay for my Fatboy. Will post pics when i get the new tins installed.

n Now THAT"S friggin funny...well done txfxstrider

 

It is true... the 07 on up is going to command more resale value and drop the older machines drastically. The large dealers will still discount new and those wishing to sell have to evaluate a current selling price that will be in line with demand. I can't believe some ads on 03-05 bikes priced in the 16 - 19k range. What are they thinking ???? Wonder if they know the word depreciation ?
