MSRP vs Honda Bucks

[Dave Ritsema]

Thanks Dave for your honest take on this and your right "knowledge is power " Unfortunately I cut the deal over the phone. I live in Florida during the winter but wanted to buy the bike from an Illinois dealer where I live in the summer. No excuse but I have not seen any paperwork as of yet. I just have not heard of this done this way. I pick up the F6B next week so I'm super excited. Hell the last Harley I bought was in 2000. Also thanks everyone for chiming in. Love the forum and the help it provides.

Your going to love that bike so much that two miles down the road that $500 will be the furthest thing from your mind.

Sounds like they folded the " rebate" into the cost... somewhat normal..... I would say I wanted the $500 for stuff and keep the original price and see what they say. Threaten to go to another dealer and see if that helps.

Unless there is a loan involved, I really don't see the difference as long as they tell you thats is what they are doing.

After all, isn't paying $18,500 for a bike and nothing for accessories the same as $18,000 for a bike and $500 for accessories?

Total sales tax should end up the same. And unless there is an extra excise tax or registration/title fee based on the cost of the bike...
