14 SGS to 15 SG CVO, I must be crazy
« on: September 08, 2014, 02:53:11 PM »

well, color me crazy but I am thinking about trading in my 14 SGS with a bunch of mods and only 2k miles, to a 15 SG CVO.  It looks like a would take a bath.  Dealer is offering me $21k for the SGS and MSRP on the CVO.
If anyone has some insight into the fair trade in value I would appreciate it.
As for color, I am thinking the silver.  It certainly pops with all the flake, but I am a little on the fence if it is too much.  Anyway, thanks for your input.

Instead of trading right when the iron is hot, how about waiting a bit to let things cool down and get what you want a bit down the road.  May try selling your '14 SG Special, holding on to the money and then finding what you want on your terms, not the dealers.  You would lose a bit on the tax advantages with trading but not near as much as your loss on your '14 in your current trade in offer.  You could also wait a bit to trade if trading is the only option and take the chance of losing less on your '14 at that point...again when the initial influx of the '15 interest has diminished.
Of course, if the bug has bitten, sometimes the only way to settle the discomfort is to scratch it no matter how much it bleeds (a graphic metaphor but fits)

Do the deal...21K for a 14' SGS from a dealer is a good trade price...tax saving will help as well....

FYI 14 SGS are selling for $20849 NEW here in Iowa. If I were you I would trade now and ask questions later.

I agree, you may even be able to convince them to swap the pipes from your SGS.

21k sounds like a good trade value. Go for it.

As far as the amp taking up space: BFD! If you need that extra space put more crap in your pants pocket because that is about the amount of space they take. Sheesh! I swear to the heavens we can come up with more reasons to gripe than any group I have ever met...at least those who stand up to pee. If you like the bike and financially you can swing it then just enjoy and quit listening to Dave Ramsey.  He is going out of this world with just as much as a homeless person. I work in a geriatric field. Believe me life is short. Play hard. Spook.

All your thoughts and opinions are great and helpful, a dose of reality one may say. Yes, I chase the latest. You are so right saying I don't ride an awful lot, but I do enjoy it. Is it worth to upgrade from a pure $$ point, no it's not. I'm on the fence, leaning, but still on the fence. I think I will take a few months and let the emotion fade away and see how I feel towards the end of the year.

Your bike's only a yr old with 2k miles, so I can't imagine not taking a bath on the trade.  BTW, was that a solid trade-in value the dealer gave you, or was it a sales guy "spit-balling?"  I've experienced salesmen having to eat their words once the sales process moved along.  If that's a solid offer, then good.  However:

Your trade-in:  21,000
Dealer asking price when they get your trade:  ??? (But you'd think at least 24k)
Price of unsold 14 SGS still in showroom:  21,000 (approx)

Am I missing something?  The numbers just don't work in favor of the dealer.

These bikes are toys anyway. I say go for it and enjoy. When I was thinking about getting my bike and was asking for advice most people told me to stick with the bike I had and I would lose to much money, I didn't need it, i was just making an emotional decision because I loved the looks of the bike, blah blah blah..
Bottom line is I obviously got it and have never (after I got over my initial buyers remorse..) regretted it and have loved every single minute of the 24000 miles I have rode it.
Smart, rational decisions don't go well with motorcycles (especially Harleys) in the first place...

True that! Who cares, if it makes you happy or will make you happy then do it.

 BTW, was that a solid trade-in value the dealer gave you, or was it a sales guy "spit-balling?"

Its a solid trade in number.  I got it from the sales manager.  I have bought 2 bikes from him over the past years.  He is a solid stand up guy.  He says I may need to wait until March for the bike so we will see.

I agree with all your thoughts as you cant take it with you. I had a 12 SESG which I sold right when the 13's came out, so I got reasonably good value on that.  I am very happy with the SGS, but it is just not a CVO.  BTW, the SGS is up on Chopper Exchange.  we will see what happens.  Thanks again for all your input, it actually does help.
