The wife gave me the go ahead for the red crimson breakout so now I am looking for a dealer who will give me a decent trade on my 07 CVO springer (love this bike, but I love the Breakout more).  Was just going to try and sell the bike outright, but did discover that I am taxed only on the difference between the new bike and the trade in (at least in IL that is how it works), so the difference between selling it outright and trading in shouldn't be much different due to the sales tax I won't have to pay.  So, does anyone out there know of a dealer withinin driving distance of North Central, IL that has a red one, or will be getting a red one, or willing to make a trade?  I will need to drive my bike to the dealer so I can drop it off.  Of course I would actually be picking up the breakout in the spring.  I am researching and calling, but if any of you know of a dealer that has a red breakout, or a CVO to trade to another dealer please let me know.  Dealers that have/had breakouts that I found through Cycletrader and Chopperexchange: 

Capital City HD in Madison, WI (Gold)
Zylstra HD in Ames, IA (Red)
Surdyke HD in St. Louis (Red)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Before you form that absolute, remember that if a dealer offers you $20,000 but you can sell it privately for $25,000 the private sale is the way to go.  However, if the dealer will give you $24,000 but you can sell it privately for $25,600, but it takes you 6 months to sell it privately, then maybe trading it in is the way to go as you won't have to wait all those months for basically the same money.  think this thing thru so you don't have to take a blood bath unnecessarily.
