Thanks And All the Help is Much Appreciated.....

Sure Am. But yes I get it. I just thought there was a discount ect on accessories and or labor or clothing. Or maybe throw in a Jacket or atleast more then Vasoline!!!

The later into the season the less chance you have. Minimal movement on price when I bought mine, 1000 off. Made most my move on trade in. 1 dealer wanted 3K over retail, offered 13.5K trade. The other dealer have the 1K off, and 18.5K trade. That's a big money swing. Dealers where 60/80 miles apart.

Sorry about the Vaseline comment, that comes after purchase. Last new one I bought was in 09 from Forman HD in Stillwater Ok. At that time they gave you a imprinted card that had like 6 or 8 items on it. Trying to remember what all was on it.
20% offer all parts and accessories on the original contract
20% off first service
20% off one time purchase of leather
Free Tee that said "I got mine at" whatever dealer you purchased from.
Don't remember the rest of what was on that card and have no idea if any dealers still have them

No worry Ik what you ment about the Vasoline comment and didn't even think of it as a Negative reply at all. Just had a Major Fall out with the dealership that I had my bike on order with so I got my money back and in the Morning we are gonna go look for another CVO and was just wanting to see if I'm asking for to much. I thought there was more of an incentive then just 15% off parts and clothing! Full price for labor on 16K of accessories just isn't right. The Dealerships owner and Family are awesome but the head salesman lies and don't know his Job very well. Must be hard to get educated help for a women's style job. Then hire a women for a women's job instead of a very uneducated drop out. Sorry girls I don't mean that you don't do anything by any means but a Harley salesperson don't have to do much. It sucks cause I like the dealership just can't stand the "Head" salesman as we find out the hard way. I was warned about him not being the brightest guy by any means but I'm the type to give everyone atleast a chance. He Talks out of both sides of his mouth. I even got a raised voice towards me explaining to me that they gotta pay 2% tax on transactions. Well I didn't raise my voice that I gotta pay 7% sales tax plus there city tax ect.... If you can't get respect for Spending 60K on a Major Purchase I guess I'd rather go where I can or don't have the TOY at all. Was a real chitty Deal and never thought you could get treated that bad from someone your doing a favor for but no they must think there doing you a favor. A favor isn't putting you in debt but me taking there debt and making it mine is a Major favor in my eyes. And I'm far from expecting it free! I ordered the Bike back many Months ago and now this worthless salary paid guy makes the dealership lose a big sale. His own boss must believe his lies is the sad part as I got all the emails and texts to prove he's the problem. He's as worthless as what floats in your local lagoons! Sorry but this was just taken care of the wrong way period.

Thanks

Free- got 2 t shirts & a Dr. Pepper & a dealer coin for 2017 CVO Limited purchase..

Used to get a 2 t shirts, a gold key, & 15% off parts/accessories for 30 days after purchase. I think the Dr. Pepper is what I got instead of the 15% off, not sure since never got a free Dr. Pepper before this purchase.

The gold keys were nice, HD was dumb

to discontinue the keys. If they were smart

they would have just gold plated both keys for CVOs only. Not much chance of that......

This sort of thing varies by many factors, such as current market conditions and inventory levels. It also varies by the kind of dealer principle. The long time dealers who remember the really lean years tend to treat good customers better than the ones who came along late in the game and jumped on the bandwagon to make fast bucks. There have been many reports over the past couple years of people buying CVO's at thousands BELOW MSRP, as opposed to paying thousands over MSRP in the past. It all depends on how well they are selling at the time and how much interest the dealer is paying to finance his inventory.

As for free T-shirts and other doo-dads, I never have cared about that stuff. Giving me stuff of negligible value that I really don't want or need has never been my idea of being stroked, more like an insult actually. Some dealers used to give 20% discounts on accessories or service, which is only valuable if you actually plan to buy accessories from them or have them service the bike. Give me a fair price on a trade, a fair price on the new one, and don't lie to me or try to stuff unwanted add-ons up my posterior. That's all I ask.

The first CVO I purchased was at sticker but there was no set up fee and a minimal doc fee. They gave me two t-shirts and the 1,000 mile service free. The trade in value was very good. They also offered 20% off accessories for the first 60 days

A year later I attempted to purchase another CVO from the same dealer, same time of year and this time the trade in value was extremely low. I was not trading in the CVO that I owned but another bike. They were now charging a $650 set up fee and had raised the doc fee to $350! No free t-shirt, no free 1,000 mile service and no discount for accessories.
Same dealer ownership but they had changed from a family run place to a corporate type place with a finance manager, sales manager and lots of sales people. You no longer dealt with the owner.

My last CVO was a 16 that I purchased right after the 17's came out. $5,000 off sticker and more for my broken 08 that I was trading in than I thought it was worth! I was on the road 300 miles from home when this happened so I was in a bit of a bind. Leave old bike and rent car to go home or trade it in! I traded the 08 on the leftover 16 that they wanted to move. No extras other than a new helmet that my wife wanted. Basically I purchased this bike from a big box store, no personal service, no follow up and nothing extra.

None, I see no reason I should expect anything extra. To me it's a toy. What's on the sticker is what I get.

The biggest incentive that helped me decide to purchase my 11.5 was when my wife said "I'd look good on the back of that one" - I purchased the bike and she was right

I paid MSRP with no set up or document fees and I did get a very fair deal on the trade-in of my '06 Ultra (non CVO), a couple of T-shirts, 20% off accessories -which was good for one year - and the 1K service free of charge. Often times if you're a regular customer and have a good relationship with the selling dealer they're more willing to negotiate - it also helps if your paying with cash, my money talks louder than I do....

Every dealership is different, and as Jerry mentioned there are many contributing factors. When I purchased my cvo Breakout and was signing the paperwork, the closer sprung on me that I would be getting 10% off motorclothes and accessories for a full year. That was unexpected. Not that it really mattered much as the dealer is over 2 hours away lol.

KGB · « **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2017, 03:06:47 PM »

The dealer I bought my 2015 SGS from offered 20% off anything in the store without a title for 30 days, that wasn't the deciding factor on why I bought there, it was price on the bike, but it was a nice touch that I used to purchase a lot of items.

CVODON · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2017, 08:45:47 PM »

I got shirts for both of us and 20% off all parts I wanted for the bike both in-stock and whatever I wanted to order, a calendar for the next year with a photo of us taken standing beside the new bike, a free year of HOG membership (think everyone gets that) and a years member ship in local HOG club, no "freight" charge add-on and no set-up charge, 1000K mile service and finally a gift pack of can coolers, key chains etc.
The 20% deal, as we all know, does mount up. On the 09 SERG is saved me $800.00 that night when I bought $4000 worth of tourpak, lowers etc. I know this could have been ordered by any number of dealers at 20% off but doing it while buying the bike I got them to cover all that stuff as installed which made it part of bike warranty. Even though I installed it all, they covered me there as a perk. Just had to ask.

wtfdskin · « **Reply #18 on:** February 25, 2017, 10:00:38 PM »

I got 2 shirts and 20% off any accessory purchased day of sale and 10% one time card for a later date.

That was on a used cvo.

Well We just got back from a 750 mile road trip to see what Deals are out there. The first thing I should say is I thank God for the other Dealer screwing up the Deal. Why? Well I signed Papers Tonite (Yesterday Now)! This new Deal is way better then the deal that got screwed because of a uneducated Sales Lead....I ended up with the Blue CVO street glide and the price was 35K plus Tax Lic and set up ect which all came to 39K out the door. Also gave us 20% off anytime I go there on Parts and 15% off clothing and yes there is no end to that deal. Also 2 T-shirts but the one my wife got was a $75 one! I do live 320 miles from this dealer. I also got free labor on everything but the Stage 4 kit. And I got quite abit done which I will post once I get the Bike but here is a pic on the way off the showroom floor...

Well guess I can't put the pic says it's to big. I will try figure out later today but gotta hit the Hay as we been on the Road all day. Thank you all for the info that was Great.

I thought it was pretty fair as well and I sure thought it was way better then the deal that went bad with the red/black one at the other dealership. Also once I finally seen the red black one at a dealership for the first time this weekend all I can say after seeing it in person is I'm glad the deal went bad cause that bike to me looks way better in pictures then in person. My thoughts are it's a nasty looking black... So yes this was all ment to happen. Thank god the other dealership had the moron saleman that screwed it all up for me cause now I got a beauty and saved "thousands" in Incentives at this new Dealership. Now just can't wait to get it home once it's all done. Labor was a qaurter of the last place I had the red/black on order at as well and there rate is $27 more per hour at this new place! Thank you all for your response to my post I really appreciate it.. I still gonna post pic once I look how to make picture down sized. 🤘🏻

I got 2 t-shirts, 2 catalogs, water bottle, tire gauge, road bell, and a draw string backpack.

I'm pretty sure anyone who bought a bike at Lawless HD in Washington got the same deal.
