Best time of year to buy a Harley and where?

Question

Ok, you finally got the cash to buy one. What is the best time of year to walking into a dealer and work out a good deal? What about the exclusive Harley stores vs. cycle centers that have a dozen or so makes on the same lot?

Answer 1

I would wait til fall.

Then you can be in halloween parades and give out candy on your harly(if you want)

Just thinkin!

Answer 2

I would suspect that if you lived in an area with a lot of rain and snow,  it would be in early winter/late fall when business is dead.

Answer 3

The dealer I deal with sells his bikes at MSRP all year around, no dickering, no arguing.

Answer 4

Now is the time ,2009 just came out and time to clear out inventory , Dont let them hit you up with the extras though , there are tons of dealers in central florida , and three out of the four major ones will try to take advantage of the buyer

Answer 5

The Summer

Any Harley Davidson Dealer

Answer 6

There is a glut of Harleys on the market right now so it is easy to negotiate a good deal. Expect thousands off blue book on any used Harley.

Answer 7

If you want a new one, use email or the phone. A lot of times if you are willing to drive a little, you can get a really good deal.

If you want a used one, the best bet is Craig's List and ebay. The prices have taken a big hit lately, so if you are patient, you can get a really good deal on a used one.

A lot also depends on what bike you want. I see a lot of FXDs and Sportsters for crazy low money now.

Answer 8

fall  is a better time and shop a round make a few calls if you know the size and or type you want prices wil vary a lot i got mine for 500 bucks cheaper  by driving a 100 miles

Answer 9

Shop around. I was quoted a price of $24,000 on my Electra Glide by a dealer in Delaware and bought it from a Maryland dealer for $20,500.
