I went back to the Buell dealer that a few weeks prior had offered $6,500 (which I understood to be wholesale) for my Uly - this time (yesterday) he said that the wholesale was/could be as low as, $5,100.

Damn, ya gotta love these guys.

Very funny.

Resale value drops fast on them buells.

At that rate, if you wait a few months, you might have to pay them to take it.

""Snooze and you lose""

Froggy, he just wanted to get me into his office to hammer me down (it ended up being almost funny to watch him double-talk and squirm around, as he did) - some of these guys are such soulless creatures.

I have been in commissioned sales for 25 years and always dealt w/ people in an honorable way. But hey, that's just me.

The market doesn't change that fast in 2 weeks.

Just being devils' advocate here...we just got our Sept-Dec editions of KBB and NADA.

EVERYthing has dropped. Buell, HD, Duc, Honda, Kaw...ALL of 'em. Used market across the board is FLOODED right now, and that brings everything down.

edited for math-in-head error - quarterly would be 12 weeks. This is why I always use a calculator : )

So...yes. They can drop that much in 2 weeks...if it's the 2 weeks when a new (quarterly) book comes out. If the books came out weekly...the drop wouldn't be that noticable, but the end result (after 16 weeks' worth) would be cumulative, and the same.

>>>Resale value drops fast on them buells.

And BMWs (I sold my BMW recently) and Porsches . . . Porsche owners are squealing like pigs as dealers are selling left over 2008's at less (now that the 2010's are out) than the residual on folks' leases. . . it's cheaper to pick up a new one than to buy out your lease.

Yet another hard-luck group to feel sorry for...

Yeah . . . . I saw a "special" today for a lease on a new 911 for $1,700 a month and all I could think was that'd sure make the oil change seem cheap.

It's the most wonderful time of the year... To be a buyer at least.
