Is this a sign of the times? Our local dealer has offered this the past couple of saturdays on all 09 models. Has anyone else seen this? They also offered 20% off all parts and accesories today. I thought I would never see a loan this low on a HD.

 

They need to get rid off all the 09's So yes there are deals out there the 1% I have not seen, is it for sure from ESB? It could be dealer financing from any one of the banks they use.

 

Sign of the times or not that is a good deal. I think it is to get the 09's off the floor since when it gets close to the new year release date people don't buy until they see what the new year brings. then some go fro new and some hold out to see what a good deal they can get on an older year. If your in the mood for a new old bike I would be all over the 1% 09. I could have used the 20% when it cam to getting the 103 kit and blacked out parts for my bike. Remember you only live once, and if you die penniless that is not tragic, that is just a damn good budget.

 

It makes you wonder if the dealer is desperate or just aggresive. Most dealers around here are Business as Usual - MSRP on bikes and won't even talk about matching pricing on parts, HD, Drag Spec or otherwise.

 

If it is true elsewhere, people should jump on that!

 

The big problem I keep seeing with those rate offers is the people that need them the most won't ever qualify. And for Basz- where in Mi are you? If you want to find a dealer that will deal on prices and accessories, stay away from small market dealers. Not all, but enough of the suburban Detroit dealers still deal.

 

I'd jump on that if I was ready to buy. Dealers are hurting right now, and more will probably end up closing their doors in the next year.

I bought my 09 in Sept of last year, and the dealer still has my 07 that I traded in. They have two of the same color, and they are "asking" $500 less than they gave me in trade.

 

Harley Canada (Trev Deeley) is now offering up to $2500 in extras on 09 bikes, prices haven't been lowered and the interest rates are anywhere from 7.75 to 26.75%. Don't know if that will encourage many new buyers.

 

As much as I love mine, if our local did that, I'd jump on it and upgrade. Current deal here is no interest 90 days, no pymt 120.
I'm sure HD interest is still higher by a couple of pts than the local banks. 5% is the current loan rate around here.

 

If there was a dealer around here doing 1%, I'd be riding a new old bike.
