Hello All,

New to the post. I just purchased a 2003 1800S for Around $10,500 from a local Florida dealer. I was wondering if you think I paid too much. Bikes seem to go for more here I guess it's the weather thing. Anyway I added a Switchblade Windshield, Light Bar, Mustang tour seat with backrest, Honda sissy bar, Saddlebags and Roadhouse 2-in-1 pipes with the shark tail. My final price was around $13,500 out the door. Seems like alot for an 03 but I don't plan on selling it.

There's your answer. You got something you wanted for a price you were willing and able to pay. I paid 13k for mine with $1500 in free accessories. I added another $2500 in accessories to get the way I wanted it. Was it a deal? Every time I ride it and every time someone comes up to tell me how lucky I am answers that for me.

 

[SicTexVTX]

Look long enough and you'll always find someone who got a better deal.
Doesn't like a bad price to me when you factor in all the new shiny stuff you added...

You'll be smiling more cause your harley friends ain't gonna see nothing but your tail light pulling away from them :lol:

 

[m-skinny]

What does that mean? Steal or deal. Do you mean you got ripped or or got a good deal? I would think a steal and deal are the same.

 

[XRiderChuck]

A good X is a deal at nearly any price. Enjoy it! 8)

If you are happy with it - it's a deal, plain and simple. I wouldn't call it a steal because you paid about the going price for the '03. I might call it a "steal of a deal" since you are happy with your bike and the price you paid - that's all that matters.

 

[vtx_cruiser]

Sounds like a good deal to me. After my trade, I wound up paying a little over 12 and that wasn't with any add ons. You've got a good sum of money in accessories.

Next time one of your buddies gives you any trouble about riding a Honda, just challenge him to a drag race and leave him sucking exhaust fumes.

I paid $11,500 + ttl on my 02 VTX 1800C. I bought my 03 VTX 1800C during the Bonus Bucks promotion, so I got it for just over $9000 + tax. But, as far as I'm concerned, BOTH purchases were good deals, since the bike rocks.

Just tell your friends its what a harley wants to be!
