if that helps you sleep at night, then go for it  

I sleep great at night, paid cash for her 

[Jswerve]

Definitely more.... 

Haha

From day one on the Harley davidson website the bike was listed at $36,349.00, Wiseasp made out great. good for him!

Yes, the 2015 model year book states otherwise, one dealer explained to me the $36.349 was for the hard candy color? Can anyone confirm the three other colors are in fact less expensive? At msrp anyway.....

My bill of sale says Base Price - 35,499.00

Excellent! Good for you!

This was obviously a FUBAR on the dealer. I have read nothing but 36,349 from the day they were released. At any rate, you got some more upgrades for free IMO.

glad I bought the wifes 2015 CVO street glide last week

[King2013]

I think there is some confusion.
The book States that the regular colors are 35499.
The hard candy color price is not in the book, (it's blank next to the words optional color) which everything we've seen so far implies that the hard candy was supposed to be a printed price of 36349. Just as the website States.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal either way. You're gonna pay what they want at the dealer you purchase the bike from. If you're worried about 800 bucks, probably don't need to be buying 40k motorcycles... 

[grc]

Yup.  And either way, the dealer is grossing about $7200 at MSRP so he's making out just fine, even if he did screw up and use an incorrect MSRP on early sales.

Harley will keep on jacking up the prices until people stop buying them.  Anyone who doesn't understand how Harley operates by now has either been sleeping for the past couple decades, or just hasn't been paying attention.

When the price of the toys finally gets to the point where average folks can't justify the outlay, or can't get the credit, then prices will stabilize.

 very true.
I can't imagine a car manufacturer/dealer pulling this crap and actually selling any car after doing it.
The crap HD gets away with, it's just unreal.

This 2015 CVO Street Glide dealer quote was provided today: (Yellow/Black)   I posted this same reply on another thread.

$36,349.00 (Apparently the original msrp was lower for some colors $35,499), but recently raised across the board-dealer caught this, this morning
      300.00 (Dealer Processing Charge-not required by law-this fee depends on your state)
      435.00 (Freight Charge)
      465.00 (Dealer Prep Charge)
      226.00 (Tag/Title/Transfer/Lien Fees=will vary based on your state)
   1,118.94  (Tax, based on $18K trade for a '14 SG w/ABS and Security[bike is not a SG Special] w/13K miles and counting)

Total Price $38,893.94      '

Some thoughts: Please provide some honest feedback/suggestion to the forum

My pet peeve is the Dealer Processing Charge and Dealer Prep Charges. Agree/Disagree?

Service:1K break-in which will set you back $300.00 or so; and $300+ every 5K miles thereafter while under warranty if dealer serviced 2 yr/24K warranty--5 dealer service visits if you ride the warranty limit in 2 years)

The tax figure (6%) listed above is based on the difference between line 1 and 2 and $18K trade value; tax rate will vary (based on your state law-higher or lower tax rate);

Refundable $500.00 Down payment to hold

What are your thoughts? Feedback? Haggling? Deal you got?

Can someone share what they paid as outlined above? Real figures they paid/are paying.

What are you paying for a extended service plan (ESP) on a new bike---I have never purchased this in the past. What does it cover? I am not a fan of warranty plans, but you may be?

The consensus favorite color seems to be the Hard Candy???

Imo prep, freight, and any other bs charges should be omitted.

Not being a smart-a$$ but if you want that scoot I suggest not quibbling over the extra fees because if you don't take it someone else will, with those same #'s. Then you'll regret not getting it or you'll have to wait 3-4 months with nothing to do with your time except kick yourself for not getting it the first go-around.

[skratch]

in la, a lot of those fees are non-negotiable.  all the dealers charge them, and the same amount.  so i've been told.  and this has proven to be the case when i was shopping around for my bike, checked 4 dealers here, got the same fees at each one of them.

if you really want the bike, you can do a quick check at some other dealers to see if they have it, but if not, like dick says, jump on it or someone else will.  and then they'll be riding, and you'll be waiting.  the sting of the purchase price will wear off long before the joy you get from riding it.

[King2013]

With those numbersd I'd hold out. If enough people hold out they'll maybe they'll come back down to reality.
Time to give HD a check with this outrageous pricing and dealer mark ups.
I went to the dealer to try and make a deal on a 14 limited,  they told me they were flying off the floor while they had 22 in stock, so they weren't making any deals on them. Well, needless to say they still have 15 of those 22 limiteds in stock now which they are having trouble unloading.
If they keep this up they're going to have a lot of 2014 2015 and possibly 2016 in stock at the same time.
Now I'm going to wait until December to try and make a deal on a 2015 limited.
