    3 dealerships and no luck yet on a trade in

    My current ride is a 2015 Indian Chief Vintage but ever since the F6B was introduced, somewhere in the back of my mind I'm thinking about it. I contacted 3 dealers in the past couple of weeks. Dealer 1, a local shop told me they have no market for my Indian and wouldn't take it in trade. Dealer 2, out of state and no reply to my request. Dealer 3, out of state and a Honda/Indian dealer, no reply to my request. Crazy that there are new 2013,14,15,16's F6B's out there and yet there isn't a market for a 2015 Indian? Looks like I'll be keeping my Indian for awhile!

    Hopefully, there's a dealer near that sells both Honda and Indian, that would be you best option??
    Did you call Honda East?

    Yep. I contacted them through the web, received an automated response and that was all.

    We had a board member who was trying to decide between an Indian and a F6, looks like he made the right choice !!!

    If the right choice is 3 year old new motorcycles selling for upwards of 6000.00 less than what the MSRP was then I guess so.

    I promise if you talk to a salesman and they sniff a sale, they will not leave you alone if a deal can be done. Talking thru a key board is not as effective.

    Have you tried Englehart Motorsports in Madison, WI? They are a big dealer of both brands (including others).

    Mike, bought mine at Cedar Creek Motor sports just outside of Milwaukee, they had all types of used bikes on the floor, and they gave me the best deal in the area.
