price of a Buell

[dgp]

All,

I was thinking about picking up a another Buell before they are all gone, and I was wondering what people are paying for them now? I was over at badweb a month or two ago and saw a post that said a gentlement some place on the east coast had just picked up a few 09 or 08 (i cant recall) Buells for 6k (new). I live on the west coast and find it hard to believe that because of our longer riding season (maybe) that dealers on the east coast let them go for 6k and here on the west coast we never see them that low.

$6495 for my 08 XB12Ss, cherry bomb. Bought the first week of november. I'm a lucky SOB because I had already decided to pay the full price for an 09 at a dealership 100 miles away. Decided to check out the local dealership online and see what they had. Win!

I paid $5495 for an 09 CR in Oct. Prices have gone up since but anything for around $7000 is going to be a good price. Good luck.

Im in Saint Louis. In Nov I found my bike through E-Bay the bike was in Arkansas at a dealership. I got my 09 firebolt 3800 miles mint. $6388. I had go there and ride it about 6 hours home.

Brightbuell...Did Gateway not have anything? The inventory search function on Buell.com shows that they have a lot still. I am in Springfield, MO and was thinking about another Buell also.

Two days after the "closing" announcement, I bought a brand new 2009 Lightning Scg for $5495 in Stroudsburg, PA.

man this makes my stomach churn. 7900 First week of Sept while i was home on leave. I could have all the parts I'm dreaming of with that extra 2g's. Oh well, I'll never sell so I can just tell myself the price I paid was still a steal.

 

[brightbuell]

Gateway had what I was looking for but they would not come down that much on the firebolts. They tried to push the 1125's. I had my heart set on a firebolt for two years so I kept looking.

brightbuell, what dealership in Arkansas did you get yours at?

 

[triple7]

$6500.00 for my new 08 1125R!!! At High Desert Harley in Boise Idaho. They still have bikes. Also Big Sky Harley in Great Falls Montana has a 09 1125CR for $6495.00 + 08 1125R's for $6495.00 +09 Firebolts and lightnings for $6999.00!!!! Check their web sites out

I was have heard the dealers were not getting the $5000 dealer insentive from HD on the XB's as they had on the 1125's
My understanding is the 1125's did not sell as well so that had to mark them down more...

Man, I wish I could trade my 08 XB12s Lightning with 2400 miles on it, in for a a 1125.. maybe the CR. I dont think Harley would give me what I owe on it (6k). Maybe I could sell it, but who would want to buy a used buell for 6k when you can buy a new one for the same price lol

I got mine from a Honda dealership. Sunrise Honda in Arkansas. Mine was a trade in. Its in mint condition. I bought mine 3 days before Buell anounced they were closing its doors. It was a weird feeling, I had just bought my Dream bike and it discontinues three days later before I even get there to drive it home. I wasent sure how to feel. Im sure im not the only one who went through that feeling of "WHAT THE ****!! [confused]

Now I could not be happier with my choice of bike.

I love my Collector Buell!!

Cool, I was wondering if you went to Pig Trail Harley in Rogers AR, thats where I got mine. I went in knowing they were discontinued, it was a weird feeling but I have wanted a xb12r for awhile. I wanted one so bad that they had two 09 1125's for the same price, but I choose the xb.

Buell Xb's FTW [up][up][up]

The 1125s did indeed get $5k incentives. I believe the XBs were $3k.

I got my 08 xb12r for $5600 OTD, brand new at the end of NOV. funny, I was looking for that color and located one at a dealer a little closer to me for $6900 but it sold the same day before I got done work to go look at it. so I kept looking & got a better deal [up] I am anxious to see what the turn of events will be over the next 2 years. I just have a hard time believing that the xb line is gone for good. I honestly expect it to come back in some way shape or form as a "MARKET SHOCKER" Really, think about it, imagine how fast they would sell if they they were back on the market for 2012 model Year?

Keep in mind that theyre brisk sellers when theyre half priced. I think Buell will come back, but not with the xb.

Nov 09 I bought 2 cr's one for 7500 out the door one for 6800 out the door. I am going to pick up a 2010 1125r for 6590 plus tax
