call around. I saved 3 thousand and the dealer I went with did it over the phone never seeing my 09 fatboy untill I made the swap. the 60 mile round trip was a nice ride
Yep, check around...I drove from Kentucky to Paris TX to get my 2010 TG...they gave me a good deal on trading in my 2010 RG too....
But, it's always money ahead when you sell yours first and then buy....but sometimes it's worth it ( time, money, hassle) to just trade it in....your call on that.
Some states if you trade you only pay sales tax on the difference.
I always figure that vs. what I think I can sell it for. In a lot of cases there isn't much of a price differential if you are going to save 2 or 3 thousand in tax. (Locally, sales tax is now up to an Obama ripping 9.3%) I also factor in the aggrevation factor that in this market the thing may not sell for weeks or months.
