So far after looking at the new specs,I am content with my '13 black standard. May be just my twisted personality but after a ride from Denver to Madison this summer,an attempt at an Iron Butt(25 hours,maybe next time) and endless 2 and 300 mile shorties I still don't care about or miss Cruise. I have loved the short windshield,when I get serious I'll start looking for a black one,Figured out long ago not to park even my Hurricane facing down hill,still have done it twice on the F6 and managed to push it out, but dont want to have to do THAT again,inch at a time front brake,push.
I do like the black pipes and that is on my wish list,however the pipes I have were installed by a previous owner and I dont think I'll trade my chrome for the black until I figure out how he got that growl mine has.
All said, the new bikes have a few nice things,but not near enough for me to even think of trading,assuming I had the difference in cost.
I love this bike as is, no regrets....
so after getting all excited i called my local stealer
told him put me on the list for a silver deluxe
oh btw i want to trade in my 2013....
pause on the phone....
the best i can do is about 9k...
i"solice still in shock
so...i guess a mc cruise is in my future and i guess this will be my last goldwing..
how can it loose 10k in 2 years??
i do take solice in the fact its a good bike,but 10???
holy shit
Not surprised. I'm sorry. All I can say (for myself as much as you) is it BETTER be a good bike for a lot of years.
With the addition of cruise control on the 2015, I wouldn't be surprised to see new leftover 2014s selling for $14k next year. If there are still some new 2013s left, they might go for little as $13k.
I haven't purchased my F6B yet, but I expect there to be at least a $5k price difference in what one will pay for a 2014 compared to a 2015 next year. I do love the blue color and the cruise, but I have a feeling I'll end up getting a 2014 and will add the aftermarket cruise control.
I'm planning to buy around July next year, so I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I think I'd be willing pay about $4k more for a current year model with cruise and a color I love.
I'll buy a brand new Blue 15 Deluxe,,,,,
Just after the 2017's hit the floor,,,,
I only paid $15500 for mine, but am not naive enough to think I'd get a fair shake with a trade in . If I got to have it, and I never thought I would,but it will be the -------- or Rostra for me.
Maybe it is a bad thing to buy a first year production model as the prices fluctuate greatly after that. It may be that this bike will retail for $15-16,000.00 new in the future. Can't hardly give my bike away so I'm going to have to keep it for at least another year.
Prices on the new 2015s will keep going up while prices of used ones will continue to go down. That's just how it works. Bikes depreciate in value. Most vehicles lose 30% of their value as soon as you ride/drive off the dealers lot.
A lot of folks paid less for a new leftover 2013 than what you're asking for your used one which is why you're having trouble selling it. You"ll never get all your money back on accesories. You're better off taking them off the bike and selling them separately and you'll get about 50% of your money back that you spent on them. Then, drop the price of your bike at least $1000 - $2000 below what the leftover 13s sold for and you'll have a better chance of selling it. You're still competing with the new leftover 13s that the dealers have and pretty soon the 14s will be getting heavily disounted too.
