I saved two grand just calling around Dallas!

 

Just started calling and they're requesting photos....will let you know what happens.

 

Sell yours yourself and then go to the dealer and buy the TG. I have always come out much better this way on bikes and carts then trading with dealer.

 

What he said!

 

That's what I did. The day when you could get a good trade in price is long gone.

 

Some states if you trade you only pay sales tax on the difference.

 

Ohio is that way. I was able to sell my o6 Ultra for $7,000 more than the dealer was going to give me on trade in.

 

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.

 

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.
