I wanted to know of how much did anyone here got their XB9SX city cross for? So far a dealer offered $1000 off plus tax/title. Do you think I can get it lower?

I paid full msrp for my 12 and I have no regrets. If I was buying it full out I might have tried to haggle but since I had to finance it I didn't see a need to. Beside, though I may be perpetually broke, I can not put a price on my Buell. To me it's priceless.
To get back to your question, a thousand off is a is a good deal in my opinion.

I paid retail for mine (with a pretty fair trade in deal).

Thats a good deal on a 9sx. Is the dealer going to stay in the Buell business? Do you care either way if they do or not?

I got my 12 for a little less that MSRP but got what I believe an excellent trade in value.

1000 off if that includes frt and set up is a smoking(as in the dealer must be smoking something) deal.
Take it before the buzz wears off and they realize they are making next to nothing.

Making a great deal on a City Cross is wonderful:-)
Getting it from a dealer who is willing and capable of providing good service is even better.
Have you done any research on how this dealer handles Buell parts and service?

Things I might check on are:
1. Availability of Buell trained Techs and service managers.
2. Availability of common Buell parts: those required for routine service and simple parts that break if the bike tips over.
3. How long it takes to schedule a service appointment.
4. Prices for scheduled service at 1000, 5000, and 10,000 miles.

Hopefully all will be well, and you will be taking the first step on a long and enjoyable journey.
If not, not.

MSRP is 8695.00
6999.00 is SEVERAL hundred under dealer cost.
I would be willing to bet that dealers selling them for that totally suck at Buell.
We can only hope that they are clearing out the Buells to join in the "we have no idea how to sell Buells so we are giving up" bunch.

This type of a deal while it looks great on the surface may not be? What other "hidden" fees are involved?

I hope no one in AZ is looking to trade or sell their Buell as this type of dealer ruins resale values for everyone in the area.

I got my XB9SX for $8,000. They also have a Street Rod marked down to $14,200. Oh yeah, at West Bend Harley, WI, and they are no longer going to be a Buell dealership : (.
