I'm looking at getting a xb12ss from a local dealer, they have some 07's left over. I was wondering is buying a Buell like buying a car in that you can deal on the price? Or am I at the mercy of the dealer? Should I expect a better deal on 07's vs. 08's? Sorry for so many questions at once I just want to make sure I'm not getting worked over since I'm a rookie! Any input or advice would be great. Thanks in advance. |

In April 2007 I bought a 2006 XB12Ss for $9,000 from a Buell dealer. The bike had 384 demo miles on it and had never been titled. So, I got the full 2 years warranty from the day I purchased it. The battery has a date of August 2005 when it was put into service. |

If you search through old posts, there is some pretty good advice. This in particular gives you an idea of dealer cost: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/157371.html From my own experience and from what I have heard from others, you ought to be able to at least get out the door at MSRP. |

i found most dealers sell at sticker.if you find a dealer with old stock and there are some you might get a deal. i could have gotten an 06 for 1000 off of sticker. but chose to wait for an 07 in the color i wanted.i also found that some dealers charge 500 freight and shipping. good luck steve wiener |

I got an 06 XB9SX for 7500 because the 07s had just hit the floor. |

I think the extra cash for an 08 is worth the improvements....No tps reset and better oil pump, higher red line.... But again that is just me. |

my finace' got her with a big discount on sticker and also no charge for set-up and delivery.I got my Uly for sticker plus no charge on hrd luggage, and no set-up fee. Also dealers cost on lower seat and taller windshield so every deal is different. |
