Put another way, my current bike is a standard 2009 Street Glide. The Dealership is offering me a 2010 Screaming Eagle for my bike and $9,000. If I recall I paid 22K out the door for my bike. That said, they are giving me exactly whet I paid for my bike 11 months ago and asking MSRP (31K) for the 2010 CVO Street Glide. That's how I see it.
The reason it's not sitting in my garage right now is because the CVO S/G won’t be in until November at which they said they would call me about three days before it arrives. I was told to “be there” when I get the call.
All I have on my bike is a set of Vance & Hines slip-on’s, S/E Air Cleaner and a Download. I’ll keep the V&H slip-on’s and put the stock exhaust back on before I give them back the bike.
I posted this because in some cases I've found out later that people somehow manage to buy bikes under MSRP; that may not be so frequent when it comes to limited productions.     

Putting it that way you owned your current bike for a year, got to ride it, enjoy it, put miles of smiles on it, and now you get dollar for dollar what you paid for it on a trade/upgrade..... Git-r-done!!!!! Sign the papers before they change their mind!!!

 
Ride Safe,

I would say make the deal today on paper!!!   So you don't miss out  :nixweiss:on the 2010 when it comes in in November.  If you don't you may be kickin your a$$

That's an excellent suggestion! I'll see what they say.

You have made a deal that most if not all of us would like to get. I would take the deal and heres why. You have already bought 2 bikes from them so your relationship with this dealer is good so number 3 is even better. I wish I could have gotten to number 2 with my dealership. Here, use my pen.

I hope you are not still reading this post--you should be down there signing the paperwork

One year later - suffer zero depreciation - and a new 2010 SESG for MSRP...

Lemme be sure I understand this, you have a bike for a year and you like it and you're looking to pay $9K for the same bike that is 12 months newer. To me that means it cost you $9K to ride your bike for a year and that seems like a lot.

Did the MSRP on the 2010 SG go up a lot? Are there a ton of new features/capabilities on the new SG or are you just enamored by the new bike smell? Did you put on a ton of miles on your '09 thus lowering the cost/mile of ownership to somewhere below $1/mile?

Far be it from me to tell a guy how to spend his money but calling it a "very good deal" seems questionable.

Perhaps there is something I am not understanding... there usually is.

The 2010 is a CVO

[RedDevil]

If that's the deal...jump on it...I've never known a dealer of any sort to give back in trade basically what was paid for a 1 year old vehicle.  (except the HD buy a Sportster and trade up to a big-twin within a year and get what you paid).   In order for them to sell your 09 SG, they're going to have to ask more than a new '10 SG would cost.  Jump on that deal and do it now...give them their $9K before they wake up out of their drug-induced haze.... 

[Buy early]

Ahhh - there was something I didn't understand! Thought the '09 was a CVO as well.

In that case ... Buy the scoot and mod on!

[Wanna ride]

I would have taken that deal on the spot. Unless you have thousands on extras on your bike now. jmo

Agreed. I'd be sitting there tomorrow morning when they open, with a box of donuts!

I have no problem spending your money!

You won't Regret getting the CVO and my guess is it will be at least 2 years  before you even considering trading again.

[smkymtnboy]

run to the dealership and do the paperwork quickly before someone figures out what they have done.

[Keats]

duhhhhhh,
Do the deal,    run do not walk

[Myko]

It ain't done yet?

I got so concerned after reading all the comments that I started thinking it was to good to be true. So yesterday I called the sales guy I’d been talking with and told him I wanted to get the loan pre approved so it would be out of the way when the bike comes in. I figured if I made this suggestion and they agreed I would know if there was any misunderstanding or if they were just blowing smoke. The guy tells me he would run it by his GM and get back with me the next day. So after not hearing from him by noon, I call and he says he was just about ready to call me. Expecting the worse, he than proceeds to tell me his GM thought it was a wonderful idea to get the loan process started and pre-approved. So I said, “Is he ok with the deal?” He tells me yes. So now the ball’s in my court. I’ve talked myself into this and I don’t think I want to pull back. The part I dread the most is telling the wife my intentions; she doesn’t share my lust for motorcycles.

It ain't done yet?

Unfortunately it won’t be done until around November 13 when the bike is expected to arrive. I hope they stay faithful.
