I have a friend that has been riding a Harley the last few years and has decided to get a three wheeler. He has test driven both a spyder and a Harley Trike and I think I have him talked into the Spyder. He found one at our local dealer in St. George on consignment and asked me for my opinion on the price. I have no idea what it is worth as I have no intention of selling mine so I haven't looked into what my is worth. Mine is a 2014 RTL but the one he is looking at is a 2015 RTL with 10,000 miles on it. Anybody have any suggestions on what it is worth. The consignment price is at $19,500. Is this good or bad? The dealer told my friend that the current owner has three of them but wants to get a newer model for himself so he might be eager to sell.
Thanks for any help you can give. He does a lot of cross country riding so I know he would be happier on the Spyder, no comparison in my opinion.

As you can see, prices are all over the place, depending on the part of the country. From where I sit--the $19K asking price is sky high. $15K is more realistic for a 2015--but that is just me. Most dealers have about $5K to play with. Since this is a consignment--the dealer is only going to get a % of the sale price and the consignor will get the rest. Dealer has nothing to lose by asking high--final price will be up to the consignor.

The good side--right now sellers can ask for top dollar. The season is about to begin. Be diligent and get your best deal.

Always check the NADA before selling or buying.

2014 RTS SE6 Low $12,280 High $16160 Average $14,000

2014 RTS SM6 Low $11,585 High$15,245 Average $13,000

These are based on previous sales. Banks will normally loan 80% of the low value. I buy a lot of toys and vehicles every year and used I would never pay more than average price. This is a good reality check when one is dreaming or trying to rationalize. Seriously!

Utah Geezer, almost sounds like they were trying to do a "Bait" (RTL) and "Switch" (RT-S), definitely don't pay RTL price for an RTS,
Jack's NADA high prices don't come anywhere near their original ask.
Shoot IMotorsports would ship a better priced deal for waaaaay less than the B&S disparity.
