Buying a harley?

is there anyway to get a harley at the msrp price?
Buying a harley?
They would love to sell you one at MSRP. You should be able to get one below MSRP.
Buying a harley?
pay cash for a basic model with no extras or get a loan from your bank and walk in otherwise you'll be making a payment on a loan to Harley like I am
Reply:The dealerships are over stocked with bikes , just gotta learn how to deal , man there is three dealerships with in spitin distance from my house ,and more with in rock throwing distances
Reply:You should have no problems as others have said... get your own financing if not paying cash... dealers are overstocked and HD sales overall are down 12.8 % the first quarter.
Reply:Your salesman probably has you tagged as a guy who wants that harley so badly you can't stand it.





Since the guy already has you pegged, the next thing to do is go to several other dealers and #1 play like you are torn between the hog and the rice burner, or the hog and the Victory and play like the money issue is a big factor. Also let each dealer know that you are price shopping between dealerships. Let them know that you are definitely buying a bike within the month but are in no hurry to sign on the dotted line.





But also factor in that harleys tend to have alot of shop time, if it is just a few hundred dollars different, you might want to choose the closer dealer anyway.





Personally I'm against buying new, paying interest, paying full coverage insurance. What happens when you are paying all that money every month, get on the highway, and realize that compared to any other bike you are riding an under powered, over priced, antique two wheeled tractor?
Reply:so shop prices from more than 1 dealer and bring them all back to your local guy to give him last crack at it
Reply:The dealer I deal with must be different than the rest. When the new bikes come out and people come in his shop he hands them a pamphlet that has the msrp of every HD made, and thats what you pay for it. Contrary to what ninebadteeth says they spend very little time in the shop. Makes you wonder how he knows all this stuff, when he buys used stuff. Poor fella.
