Talking Stealer Prices

I live in the Tampa area and was just surfing on our local dealer web site and was shocked to see the prices of a used Harley. Nothing under 16K even a 2006 HD. Glad I didn’t buy mine there…

If they weren't getting it, they wouldn't be charging it. Maybe if more buyers were less emotional about buying a Harley and say "no' to inflated dealer prices then maybe the prices would come back to reality.

smart shoppers get great bikes at a fair deal.

for a used bike, I don't think dealers are part of that equation

The higher they price the used bikes at the more it justifies a new bike purchase.

Not getting it doesn't stop them for asking for it. One of my local dealerships was whining because they have a used 2010 EG Classic with 5200 miles that's been on their floor since last fall and they can't sell it. Its basically a 100% stock version of my bike - even the same color. I think the fact that they have a price tag on it for $19,990 might have just a little bit to do with it. I didn't pay that much for mine when I bought it brand new last June.

The way they sell and price these things you would think they were selling a night in bed with Sandra Bullock and not a friggin motorcycle. Whatever they are smoking, I want some!
