How much is trade worth?

Check out both kelly blue book and nada online sites, they seem to differ a little for the same year/model. Most dealers will offer you something close to the wholesale value on these sites. If that's not good enough in your opinion the only option is to try sell it yourself, but as previously mention this is not the best time of year to sell.

My understanding is the dealers around here (Maryland) use NADA and not KBB. That seemed to hold true with me. KBB said my bike trade in value was $8800. NADA book said $7800 and that was the exact number the dealer offered me.

Traded my 03 Heritage mid August for an 08 Ultra, 21,000 miles lots of chrome and add ons. Quick detachable backrest/luggage rack and tour pack all with it. One dealer offered me $7,500.00 and moved up to $8,500.00. I laughed and walked out. Went to another dealer and he told me he would give me $8,500.00 sight unseen, but it could be more. I said sure it could. He called several times telling me that the Ultra I wanted was still there and to come in and talk. So a few days later I did. I told him I didn't need a new bike and didn't have to have one but would like to get one. Final offer was $12,500.00 for my ride toward the 08 Ultra. Done deal.
BTW: The dealer is selling my old ride for $15,995.00.

When I traded my 03 883C The dealer gave me 1000 more than Trade in and then money off the msrp also. . I was hoping for more but the market up here is flooded with sportsters and a few other dealers were at that same number but would budge off of the msrp. Plus I didn't need to play the game with potential buyers.
