This is interesting 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I traded my R* for a HD Electrs Glide Classic at Dixie Cycles. The gave me a wopping $5,500 for my beloved R*. Now they have it for sale on their web site. Look what they are asking for it.

Still a nice looking ride Mark.

You can tell the previous owner (you) looked after it.

And... you didn't think they'd sell it for less than they gave you did you?

Re:This is interesting 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Wow, I sell at a dealership but I WISH I could make that kind of profit margin on bikes!
Hell if I make 1/10th that much on a new Roadstar I'd be thrilled.
So they made 3 or 4 Grand (average margin for an HD dresser) on the Electra Glide & will make a couple more on your trade-in. Must be rough! LOL
I can't believe you couldn't get at least $5500 on a private sale for an 07 loaded up like that one.

Guess we'll file that under "what you got is crap...what we got is golden"

That's life ain't it.

I tradded a 08 FatBob on a 08 105th FXDSE2.

The dealer offered me 2k more on the trade than I thouight they would.

4 months later the FatBob is still sitting on the dealers floor.

Lots and lots of used bikes for sale with few buyers especially in the fall.

Be happy with your deal, just because they are asking it doesnt mean they are going to get it.

Last month we paid $4200 for our 01 Roadie.

3k in accessories, new tires, just serviced, not mint condition but very close to. Most wouldnt guess that its 11 years old.

Just 'cause they're askin' $7,500 don't mean they'll get it. Just like you, someone's gonna offer less and they'll negotiate.
