New Members buying New or Used?
« on: March 27, 2016, 08:40:22 PM »

I really contemplated buying used, ended up buying a new 2016 CVOSG. I see "New Member. ..." almost daily - without going back through all the threads, if you've joined since the 1st of the year- did you buy new or used? Just wondering what the Market Trend is.

I bought new.  I came off a V-Rod, then SG and now back on a new 2016 CVO Pro Street Breakout.

I bought new in 2011 and in 2014 and still have both bikes but I doubt I will by a new one again.

Not a scientific survey by any means but I believe most "new" members on this forum are those that have just bought their first CVO and it's usually new.  That may even apply to those that are on their second or third CVO.  :nixweiss:

I'm on my third CVO since 2003 and this is the first one that I bought "used"......even though it was still under factory warranty and has the five year extended warranty.  :2vrolijk_21:

If you had asked first, I'd have suggested buying used.....let somebody else take the depreciation hit. :2vrolijk_21:

I bought two new and two used.  It's definitely more economical to buy used, but I'm not always patient enough to find what I'm looking for in the used market.  A lot of them either aren't taken care of well enough for my standards or modified to someone else's tastes, both of which would take $$$s to correct.  So, there are some benefits to taking the depreciation hit if you can swing it.  Although today's new prices make it tougher.

I bought one new and one used.

The used one I bought was an impulse buy while I was picking up my new one :confused5:.....1 year old with 500 miles with most of the mods that for me were must have.  What the saying....always have a backup!

I bought new. I worry about how the previous owner did or did not care for the bike. This way I'm sure. I also wouldn't buy if the bike had been demoed more than once or twice. My 2016 SESG had only 14 miles on it when I bought it.

Bought the 2015 CVO Limited new, the gold rush paint caught my eye and that was it, kept my 2010 Softail Custom which was also bought new, I did let go of my 2007 Yamaha FZ 6. No regrets.

I usually buy new, but bought Maybelle from "The Counselor."  He was happy, and I'm happy.  That's the definition of a good deal.  Later--HUBBARD

09 SERG, bought new, traded for the 12 SERG new.

Bought 13 SERK new, still have it.

Traded 12 SERG for 15 SERGU.

So four new CVO's since 09.  The two I traded had over 45K when traded. 

15 will most likely be traded for a 17.

Hey, Stuart!  Did I read that right?  You bought an '04 SEEG used in '02?!  Did that involve any trips in a DeLorean to do?  :nixweiss: :huepfenlol2:
