Godlover Posted March 11, 2014 #1 Posted March 11, 2014 I called a guy who had an 06 Tour Deluxe with 14000 miles on it and he was asking $4500. He was to send me pictures besides there ones on Craigslist. I thought about it and called him back 15 minutes later and in that time he had a guy coming to look at it and the guy bought it. I know he would have taken $4200 if I had pulled the trigger on my first call. I hope someone on this forum ended up with this bike. The price was right!

My son got an 05 Road Star with very low miles, had been in Vtwin magazine as it was customized for less than 5 grand. I am glad someone got a good deal on the Tour Deluxe. I was going to buy it just to resale to make a few hundred bucks so it wasn't a big deal. People are going to have to ignore Blue Book prices and start being realistic on what the market is bringing and the market on motorcycles is flooded with great deals on used bikes.

Tell your son ol Puc said CONGRATS!! Those Roadies are awesome bikes!! """People are going to have to ignore Blue Book prices and start being realistic on what the market is bringing""" Yeppers,, good ole free enterprise system,, in the end the market sets the prices and it is a CRAZY market out there, about the only thing the Blue Book is good for anymore is for insurance purposes. I often wonder about the impact the Web has had on all this, the ability to "shop" nation wide.. Now it seems like prices being affected by hard economic times on the west coast directly effect prices on the east coast.. Pretty interesting really...
