Harley Edition Resale Value

While shopping around for a used SD crew cab, I figuered I'd check out what kind of deals were available on leftover new '04s. The prices look good not great, so I'm still inclinded to find an older one. However I was surprised to see how many dealers still have one or more Harley Editions on their showroom floors. One was basically willing to discount $8K off the sticker (down to $42K) in order to sell it. Why aren't these selling? They really seem like nice trucks and while I guess it's debatable whether they have any collector value etc, surely they aren't worth _less_ than a comparable lariat?
What do you think?

HD's are more expensive that Lariats, and you gotta want a black interior. They summer the safe fate as any customized vehicle, less people want them, so they have a narrower audience

Dealers around here are taking $11K off $47K MSRP Lariats around here, so $8 off a HD doesn't sound like all that great of a deal.

In San Diego Mossey Ford has been taking $11,000 off List price on the Ford F250/350's HD too.


If you like the HD Truck offer $11,000 off List Price pluse Tax. That is a good deal. Go to the Fleet department and show them this posting.

Don't be afraid to keep your money, Ford is still making 21% profit

Yep, every dealer I pass that does any truck business at all got an Orange/Black Harley truck early on, and they all still have them. Odd. I have seen a few all-black Harley trucks on the road, so maybe that was just the more popular option.

Price 20 inch tires, and the market for the Harley gets narrow yet.

I like the orange/black.

Moral of the story, I don't have one.
