So what do you think?

Got a lead on a 2008 Harley with only 5k on it. Going to see it tomorrow. I can get it for 9k cash. I sold my fatboy about 6 months ago and miss it.

It listed for $17k new and has $2k in custom upgrades. At 5k miles it's still new...

It's a good looking cruiser and has a lot of life left in it and a pretty good deal. Go for it.

I think that's a good buy!

Seems like a good deal. Take it for a long test ride and give it a good inspection. It needs some miles put on it.

 

[BadDawg Bill]

Thanks guys. Going to wash the dog and go take a look at it....

Seems like a good deal.

That's a good deal, I like my deluxe. Never had a complaint about it...

Seems like a deal...those beach cruiser bars are terrible though...it's a Harley so cheap to mod.

It's not really fully loaded though, engine missing a lot of chrome to be fully loaded. Still a good deal I think

It's a good bike for the money, but I would pay a little extra (or maybe the same) to get a 2009 or newer with the new frame.

whats different between 08/09? I don't follow Harley that much.. I only got dog's in the house.

Go for it BB-- really like that bike..great color combination (not too sure about the streamers ).
The Baggers in 2009 got a new frame design, and really handled a lot better. I went from a 2001 RK to the 2010 SG....all the difference in the world. Not too sure about the Softtails, and to be frank, I didn't know if they changed those frames or not in 2009.
Common sense would say that the lower slung bikes like the Fatboy and Deluxe would be more agile to begin with.

 

[Chateau Slate 66]

My mistake. I forgot the Fatboy doesn't use the touring frame.

Nice bike Bill, I hope it works out for you. Color isn't bad either.

Well, Called the guy Sat to go look at the bike but only got his voice mail. He texted me back saying he had to go to work but would call me when he got home. No call. I called him Sunday morning, right to voice mail. No call back. Called him Sunday night right to voice mail. No call back. I emailed him and he responded with "I'm very busy you'll just have to wait".....

So even though he has the bike for sale, I live 1 mile away and have the cash in my pocket he doesn't have the time to sell it to me.... Now I don't even want it....

It don't sound right to me. 96 cu in .
IMO, worth a little less than what he's asking.

I can't sell my wife's 07 heritage for 8500. It's got a ton of upgrades including A 103 screaming eagle kit along with the s&s easy start cams and the heads and jugs are diamond cut. I guess I give it to someone as a Christmas present. 28000 miles.

Kelly Blue Book lists the retail values for the 2008 Deluxe as 11,750. He's asking a good price. Seems like a good deal maybe patience may pay off here. IMHO..

 

[BadDawg Bill]

Well, he called tonight and said I could come over and see it. I told him I'm tired of chasing the bike and he could bring it over to my house. He did and the bike is flawless. It looks like it should be on the showroom floor. 5,0117 miles.

I took it for a ride with the wife and she loves it. Handled good and felt good. It was a little hesitant but he said the gas was 4 months old... So... I said if you want to sell it tonight I've got $8,500. He said no $9k was the lowest he would go. I said good luck on CL dealing with all the idiots for $500.... He left.

An hour later he called and said ok $8,500. He's bringing the bike back tomorrow night with the title... I think $8,500 for a new Harley is a good price considering I'll sell my 2005 Roadstar for $6k.... What do you guys think?

 

[BadDawg Bill]

Gotta love it when a seller shows their eagerness!

I knew if he brought the bike to my house he was ready to sell. He said he was in the hospital with leg problems and could barely walk. He was only about 35 yrs old. Kinda felt sorry for him but ya gotta look out for yourself...
