Well dealer had the Rio Red & Black Ember on floor. They wanted MSRP plus 4K. I said no way i would pay that. I've bought 3 CVO's from this dealership over the past 3-4 yrs. Anyways they said trade difference would be 18K. I said your crazy i wont do that. They came back and said 15K difference, i left & went home. On way home salesman calls & says they will do 13K trade difference. I put pencil to it and they are selling the 11 for MSRP plus freight & giving me 23,000 for my bike with only 2200 miles on it. I really don't like the red & black but would prefer the gray & black RG. They said they found some & would do a dealer trade to get it. Not real sure this is a good deal. I really wanted closer to 25K for my bike since its got low miles on it & in great condition. I may just keep mine & blow off this idea all together...I don't owe but around $22,000 for mine since i bought it a good price a year ago... Any suggestions..

Shop around... see if you can get a better deal (find a MSRP dealer)... if not go w/your gut feeling.

Most dealers in my area have them sold before getting them. This particular dealer will sell it at MSRP thou. Just my trade in is lower than i wanted...Going to work on them tomorrow for a better trade in..

09 SERG  Stardust Silver & Titanium Dust.. Think i'am nuts if i do this...I really like my 09....

I would look at a different way.  

According to Kelly Blue Book, in my area, the trade-in value of a FLTRSE3 in good condition is worth $24,700.  With the low mileage, I would expect yours to be worth more.  So assuming they gave you what your FLTRSE3 was worth, they are still charging you close to $2,000 above MSRP.  They are simply hiding that fact by low balling your trade-in.

Unless the deal got a WHOLE lot sweeter I'd keep what you have. It's a better looking bike anyway. Get ya a matching TP and save a bunch of cash. JMHO

[newseultra07]

Yep think unless I got closer to 25-26k iam not going to be doing it. True on getting a tour pack. Would be lots cheaper in long run.

The 11 is essentially the same bike as the 09 only it has some gizmo's that didn't come on the 09serg.  The 11 also has the ugly pre-09 rear end without the LED stop/turn lights and extended clean fender/bags that came out on your 09.  Your 09 has a Waaaaay better paint job with the eagle to boot!  The wheels on the SERG are the best looking wheel the MoCo has ever fielded...the 11 comes with chromed 10SESG wheels with fugly roters.

The motors, frame, transmission, brakes, etc... are the same as well.

I'd keep the Grey Ghost, it's a one-year limited run knockout of a bike!

The 2011s coming out makes the 09 two model years old.  2200 miles.  This is a slightly different take on the question.  But....  at 1100 miles a year it's not ridden enough to justify either the new expense or replacement.

"But Daddy I just want it!"

 

We are in agreement but I must admit that I have that voice in my head too from time to time...

 Just been really busy with work & its been hot as heck here thats why only has 2200 miles. I've had the bike since last October. Still not many miles for almost a year... I've decided to just keep the grey ghost & save lots of $$$$$$$$.

Dont trade a hot rod in for a "Old man bike"

Yeah, but it's the more comfortable of the two, will go just as fast, and has all the necessary whistles and bells that most of the 09 SERG folks tried to accomplish by spending thousands more.  The only thing they could have done to the 11s was added the LED rear fender and the extended bags....but I'm not going to let that stop me from getting one of those "Old man's bikes".     I'll wave comfortably at you as we pass on the road.
