I think somebody transposed some numbers.

I was thinking about this.  the dealer 'accidentally' transposes 35 to make it 53, you see it and immediately go into panic mode, then the dealer says, 'oops, sorry, dyslexic moment' and changes it to back to 35.  you've already seen the 53, so your mind now thinks, 'wow, what a bargain' instead of '35k for a motorcycle!?  are you crazy?'....

I think somebody transposed some numbers.

I wish I would have taken my phone in to photo the hang tag.

It did not say ADM, but it clearly listed the MSRP, FRT, Prep and final "sale" price.  I've posted photos of hang tags from this dealer before.

For all I know, someone walks in with MSRP cash in hand they may get it for that less TT&L even.  I don't want one of the new ones, but thought it funny, $53k.

They added a full page of parts.  I have seen it on the floor for over 2 months.  It really does have a bucket list of parts that the parts manager called out personally.  Cost is outrageous but is more custom than a CVO.  You really need to see the thing before you bash the cost.

If the bike is sold at this price I want the name and address of the buyer; I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I want to sell him/her.  Hotfire

It's not hard to get to that $ if the dealer did the options. I was around $50k before I left the dealership. That's just a lot of blind faith for a dealer to add the gear themselves.

Vegas Harley marked up their CVO's at least $3k over MSRP.  On the tag it said "Price Adjustment".  Not sure about non-CVO's if they were marked up over MSRP or not.  But "price adjustment" is a very blatant example of price gouging.

That's nuts! In early December we picked up out Black 16 CVOSG- we got $5k OFF sticker, matching backrest for the wife and 4-point Docking hardware- THROWN IN!
Of course we added another $7k in goodies.
WOODSTOCK HARLEY DAVIDSON  (Woodstock, Illinois )- these guys treat you like I remember the dealership treating my dad when I was a kid, they APPRECIATE you and your business. 

Bought our 15 CVO Roadglide Ultra there, known Doug and Kricket since grade school, highly recommend anyone looking to call them, everyone there rolled out the red carpet for us, everyone there is genuine, excellent dealership. flhman

Three points:
1. That's f-ing crazy!
2. If the commodity is readily available on the market, ASKing and even getting a crazy price is NOT gouging! Foolish, risky, but not gouging. The idiot buyer could have just shopped around and voted with their feet.
3. At least that dealer has hang tags. My local changed owners and the new guy posts no prices and every inquiry is met with the " well come in and have seat....." song and then begins the "dance"
 
And they sell bikes every day...

Like I said.

And no, there are no dealer-add-ons.

I only posted this to show how some dealers are.

Just saw that Central TX HD in Round Rock TX (Austin) is adding $15,000 to MSRP.  They have a Black,a White, and a Blue on the floor, MSRP just over $36k, about $1500 in frt and prep, and a bottom line of $53,3xx something.

Hehehe.  P.T. Barnum said it best;  "There's 1 born every 30 seconds........and 2 to take him!"    There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD
