Killing some time waiting on a friend in Wilksboro yeaterday. Stopped in at Crossroards HD and had the usual chicken on a june bug salesman attack. Told him the only thing he might could sell me was a 2013 SERK. He left and came back to say they had a Anni model comming in 2 weeks. Said thanks, but I got a 2009 CUSE. He goes out and looks it over and comes back and says 8K difference out the door??? Course now he's got the june bug to quit fighting and has my full attention. No chit I say....and he says put a deposit and call my bluff. My friend pulled in and we left. Now I fully realize that we weren't ready to swap titles cause his King was UA. My question is, Was he pulling my crank or no?!?!?! Should I go back Tues and plunk down some $$$ and if I do how binding is our deal with his scoot missing? Probably just dreaming. What would you do?

Have a friend that just did that yesterday. Traded his 07 CUSE for a new Anni SERK. He tells me that the new bike is a much better ride then the 07 he traded. No regrets. So now the parts buying begins again.

That's a crazy-good deal for 4 years' difference!  Get them to write it up, quick!

All the touring models from 09 and up have a different frame.....yes, it is a "much better ride"!     But then that's pretty wide spread known.

2k.....he mentioned $8k and your bike....ask him what the OTD difference will be (tax, license, doc fees, dealer prep, etc.).

Thanks JC & everybody else. I'm going back Tues & see what he will put on paper. I'm gonna tell him I want a binding contract and watch how fast he tries to back-up. We can only hope!!!

I'm not sure why the HD Dealers are dealing as much as they are but I like it. I had a very nice 2008 Ultra with 29K miles. I traded for $14,000 OTD(taxes, freight, lic ,title) including LED Headlight swap for my 13 SERK. They also pickup 1,000 mile checkup 100%. They hit me for 18K difference but then dropped to 14 as I was leaving. That became an easy decision. Plus I only financed 12K and that was 1.9% for up to 72 months! As nice as my 08 was no way could I get $17 plus for it (at least I wouldn't pay that much).

Is it possible the used market is getting stronger again?

It's a dealership....that just means they'll change your oil.

sounds to good to be true, i kinda think the dealer is playing a bit of 'bait N' hook"  ?   but who knows,,  you just might have feel into a good deal,, go for it but watch out for ,,,,,,,,,

[D-N-D]

Go Back, he will do the Deal just get something in writing and hope it shows up in 2 or 3 weeks.

[King Glide]

Don't forget, you are trading an ultra with all the goodies for a road king that is somewhat stripped down to the bare necessarities for touring, less wind protection, no heated seat or grips, no tp, etc...

[Skillet]

Jimmy,
Good luck with the swap. You will like the ride and the added sound system.

Here's what a few 09 CVO Ultras are selling for. So is it a good deal?? Looks like it is.....for the dealership.

Jimmy, King roadglide makes a good point about the stuff the CVO Road King doesn't come with. Three weeks ago I saw a Blue one at Smoky Mountain HD. It looked really good, paint and graphics were really nice, Vickie LOVED it. Sound system sounded nice, salesman was on me there also. The looks of the windshield would take some getting used to. Hard to tell how good the wind protection would be, I did like the idea of the vent for summer riding, but if it is really hot it may not be much help. Worse case you get a new bike my friend.   Arland

The windshield works well if your around 5'8" or less.  The vent is actually to adjust the air stream up and over your head to eliminate buffeting.  Works very well, but at 6'1" it does not for me.  If I duck just a couple inches, and adjust the vent, I am totally out of the wind.  It would be real nice if harley would make the same shield about 3 inches taller.

I am anxious to get mine, early Nov, anniversary color.
