Harley Davidson MSRP

[cam303]

I am looking to pick up an 09 street glide. I have been searching the posts on hdforums.com and have seen a lot of deals between $1000 to $2000 of of msrp lately because of the economy.

Has anyone dealt with and of the local dealerships and if so what are you seeing as far as discounts locally?

The closest I have seen around here just from looking on the site is Battlefield Harley in Gettysburg offering $2000 off msrp on touring bikes and 25% off accessories.

When I bought my Night Train (Z&M), they wouldn't move on MSRP, but then again, this country wasn't a mess then like it is now! Sounds like 1-2k off is pretty good to me, did you try http://www.highlandhd.com? My new bike will be a Street Glide for sure:thmbsup:

+1 on that.

Obviously I can't speak for every dealer but when I was looking at Buells after I sold my 6R, they wouldn't budge on MSRP. (not Z&M) They told me Harley won't discount on MSRP at the dealer level and that if I didn't want to buy it for that price, they didn't care and they would just sell it to someone else.

[Wolfpack Speed]

haha yea Swing was cool, he's gone now tho, haha...service department...i know what happened. I sympathize with u.I heard he left, he was a good dude. Nothing really happened with the service department, they just werent very good to deal with. I turn wrenches every day, and with a warranty, I didn't want to and shouldn't have to fix my own bike!!!!!!

Jim P can sometimes be alot to handle lol.

[cam303]

I was at Z&M about a month ago looking at the black ice blue ice SG. buddy took me there because he said he knows the owner and i will never get a better price anywhere. I was quoted the awsome deal of MSRP. I was talking directly with Jim and didnt really haggle with him because I wasnt ready to do anything at that moment. I understand that you are always going to get a high price up front but what made me laugh is my buddy telling me what a great deal it was on the way home.

No they are mass produced and with the economy like it is, I don't know how much of a leg they have to stand on. I did hear late last year that they were cutting down on production though??????

I think he is the mannequin that sits on the bikes and wears the apparel they sell there.

[2001GTTT]

I detail, and I am amazing. Ive sold some bikes too, but thats not what I do....If im not busy and the girls out front are, I'll go help them...little bit of everything...the best part is test riding stuff for the mechanics.

I dont think we have any mannequins to be honest. But I do model the ass-less chaps in the front window. :sticktonge:

[Wolfpack Speed]

On that note, I'm out...

your just jealous..

The sad thing is I can see this being true. :rofl:

Ok, don't want to hi-jack this thread anymore. Sorry. I'm done.

Back on topic: Like Mike mentioned, the dealerships might be more inclined to deal now with the economy the way it is.

is that so everyone can see your va-jay-jay?

Just a thought... have you considered anything other than a Harley? I know nothing about them except the horror stories about maintenance, but i'd think the Jap bikes have come out with something by now to rival the Harley in looks/sound??? maybe not?

Good point! Harley = Yesterday's technology at tomorrows prices! Overpriced and underpowered. But that's just my $.02:goodidea:

[Inkdcountryboy]

Z&M or highland is your best bet......but i wanna know why everyone thinks there slow and underpowered? Ive rode pretty much every make of motorcycles and i mean tons of different models and harleys power is there.. i mean its not a 10,000rpm spinning machine like a ricerocket but that kinda bike isnt for everyone just for people wanting the 140+ mph harley will do 120-130 easy

i'm not saying that there's anything wrong with Harley's... just that i think a Jap bike would be much easier to get a good deal on...

I'm not a harley guy myself, but i realize its a niche... and to some people, there's just no replacement... kinda like anything out there that has a "name brand." I don't have a problem with them being slow - not everyone is out there likes to rip around with the kind of horsepower that a sportbike brings.... As long as you wear a helmet, i have no problem with any biker at all! :goodidea:

[BoneCrusher]

Do yourself a favor and call Highland HD in Somerset like Koval said dude. They are awesome, the only dealer I'll go to. Talk to Bob in sales he's a good guy. My buddy just got an 06 SG off highland for a killer deal. I ride down there for any and all service I need done to my Deuce.

Wow, must treat ya good, I know exactly where that place is, thats gotta be a haul for ya'!

Yeah a little but it's a nice ride. Take 66 to 119 to 31 and go 31 all the way from Mt. Pleasant to Somerset. They are that good to me too though.:goodidea:

[2001GTTT]

I dunno what Highland told ya, but we ON AVERAGE, beat their prices by atleast $500. The only place they are relatively even competitive with us is on trades. I suggest you call them and see what they'll give you, then call z and m and see what they say, ask for Dax. We can beat their prices.:highfive:

[cam303]

Any word on this clark?

[2001GTTT]

Any word on this clark?


yea I shouldve worded my above response a little better, my bad...but anyways, whatever they are offering you, Z&M can beat it by atleast $500.

[Cam99]

I love Z&M. Bought my bike there after going to many dealerships, and haven't had any problems with service. However I will say I was kicking around the idea of getting a Heritage softail & talked to them tues. and they weren't budgeing from MSRP. I think that's unrealistic at this point.

[BoneCrusher]

I actually bought both of my bikes at Z&M when Swing was there cause he's my buddy. It was always MSRP, no dealing on the bikes but he helped me out with accessories and other stuff and I wanted him to get the comission.

Dax is a good dude too though. Maybe they deal more now at Z&M IDK I bought my bikes in '04 and '07 so maybe things are different now. Highland sold my business partner a new '08 Ultra for less than Z&M was willing to.

Call 'em both dude and see who will give you the best deal...good old fashioned haggling FTW!

If your serious about it maybe we can get a deal on 3 bikes. I already have someone else who is interested in a deal on two. We were going to go shop around on sat.

[2001GTTT]

dont mention this to anyone at the dealership if you go. but ALL prices are going to go up 5% in early April. so if you want a bike. go soon. this is affecting every dealership, prices at every single dealer in the U.S. will go up 5%....just heard this today.

That ship sailed. I just bought a new seat for my nighttrain to make long rides more enjoyable and I'm going to be getting detachable saddlebags, so I'm just going to keep it. Good luck with the multi-bike deal. Me and a buddy of mine bought ours at the same time and didn't get any breaks!

That's a good sales plan in a recession.lol
