Hey guys im trading in my 08 Ultra Classic tomorrow. the dealership have several scoots to chooce from. which one would you take?

Im getting 16K for my trade in.

 

Start by offering less than whatever the asking price is - JUST DO IT - I used to sell cars ;^( they'll respect you for trying

tell them you've been to other dealers and your ready to buy TODAY if the right deal shows up

then

Ask for a free Extended Service Plan -
you can tell them "you said the bike is 100% perfect, so you should have no issue giving the ESP for free !"
just think of all the $ they already made off the former rental ... the $1500 ESP is like less than a weeks rental fee, and they probabally made $ 10,000 or more from renting it, worth trying ... (no esp - no deal - we know some people beat on rentals) you can always change you mind

then ask for a credit of $ 1000 for future MoCo upgrades from there parts and or service dept - in truth that $1000 cost them less than 1/2

look for scratches, dings, 1/2 worn tires, and SHOW them that's why you need to negotiate DOWN

then you can alway pay asking price

they're there to sell bikes, and YOU have what they want - $$

or just pay & go

 

No brainer, 11 Limited. Hate the side rails that cover the bags on the Ultra. Congrats on the new ride.

 

I would never purchase a rented vehicle, more so a H-D. 2011 Limited would be my choice but no way would I pay more than a '12 Ultra. The bike's already a year old.

I got an awesome deal on my '11 FLTRU a few weeks before the '12s hit the showroom floors.

 

I'd go with the Ultra. '12's now have the 103 motor. I can't see 2k for heated grips and a tour pack rack. Just my opinon....the limiteds do look very cool, but I'd rather save the 2k...actually, that's what I did when I traded my '03 Ultra for a new '11 Ultra a few weeks ago...

 

I bought a rental with 11,000...I wouldn't buy a rental again. my bike has 38K on it and I only put 27K on it.

 

Road Glide....

 

what, no vacation and Mall shopping spree for the wife?

 

Plus ABS, security, chrome wheels...well worth $2,000 if that's stuff you want anyway.

I wouldn't be scared of a rental bike if you can get an extended warranty with it.

 

You are right...I didn't factor in ABS and Security....that does make a difference
