I spoke to my local dealer in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and he told me that he would negotiate with me on a brand new 2017 CVO Street Glide.

My question is what would be a great price for a new 2017 CVO Street Glide.  I read in a post that someone received a 10% discount off MSRP.  Is that unusual or can I get more than 10% off if I am a cash buyer purchasing a bike in the middle of a Chicago winter.

Thanks,

Ralph

= to or < than MSRP ($37,799) is what I would accept/shoot for if I were in the market.

I saw the 10% post, too.  I think it was someone that buys a new one from the same dealer every year.  They're going to get a deal.  I've looked at multiple dealers in Chicago, none were willing to deal more than $1000 or so. Cash doesn't matter to them either, they make money on financing bikes.

Don't tell them you are paying cash, thats a bad thing not a good thing for them as they can make money on the financing. Every deal is "cash" for them whether you give it to them or the bank does, if the bank does they usually get "something" extra unless its your own bank. Also be careful of a "discount" and then dealer set up or freight charges on top of that.

There is a 20% gross profit baked into MSRP.  If a dealer is willing to give you half of his gross profit on a new current model, I'd say that's a fair deal that he probably won't offer again once spring arrives.

I will tell you to shop around. I traded a 14 SGS in on mine and worked with 2 dealers, 6500.00 difference Between the 2  only 80 miles apart.

Excellent Advice!

I went to a dealer today on the North shore of Chicago who told me he was giving me a great deal by taking $1,200.00 off retail.  He was then charging $1,296.00 for freight and setup and over $300.00 for administrative fees plus of course plates and registration.  Dealer told me that his clientele can afford to pay his prices!!!

It seems like you need to get out of the Chicago area and look at dealers in Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, etc. who are in less affluent areas that are willing to give a reasonable discount. I was even told that some dealers do not ask for any CVO's because its customers either can't afford or won't pay the high price of a CVO and that because they are allocated at least 1 or 2 CVO's they may be willing to deal if you give them a sincere deposit and sign a contract.

Guess I will just send out some emails to dealers in Wisconsin and see what happens.

Harley helps the dealer charge 450.00 for F&A. Who knows what that other stuff is.

Let me know how it goes

Chicago is a strange market.....
I agree with not telling them about cash or financing.  Chicago Harley and Lakeshore Harley are usually MSRP dealers.  Lakeshore was bad....they thought they were giving me a deal at 10k over on a 15 hard candy sg.....but they've gotten pretty good.  I bought from city limits....they were easy going.  Good luck in your search.

Looks like Seminole has stopped giving the 10%. I guess spring is close.
