The Buell liquidation sales are pissing me off...

[MickD]

I know we're all pissed about HD puling the plug on Buell... but how are people who recently bought 2009-2010 bikes feeling?

I bought my XB 6 months ago for close to $10k, now they're giving them away for 1/2 that. [mad]

We got some, Buy One Get One Free. an '09 Firebolt and an '09 Lightning SCG for $11.5k out the door with 4yr warranty.

It was wierd, because I was looking for an ~'06 xb12x, and they were more expensive than brand new bikes. They have 1125cr's for 5.5k here.

I'm pissed because I have 2 friends who are trying to buy Buell's and some HD dealerships are still trying to charge rape prices and backing out on deals [mad][mad][mad]

 

[tasha1329]

I bought mine this April and I live in Canada (we always pay more than the US). How do you think I feel??? [mad][mad][mad]

Amazing - I just bought a 2006 Buell XB12SS Long with 5300 mi on it two weeks ago for $5200.. I'm not upset about it because the last thing I want right now is to give any money to a Harley Davidson dealer.. but it is awful..[down]

 

[BennyGca]

Paid $13,100.00 taxes included for my '09 XB12Ss in May up here in Montreal...

 

[fishgutz]

I paid $10K for my 09 XB12Ss in April. I got hosed by HD. But if I waited, my wife would say no because we are buying a house next week.

 

[ghost96b69]

Wait a second, all you guys recently purchased new XB's at near or above retail?! Wokor says no one buys a Buell for retail because we're all cheap & broke..?!

 

[mpolans]

Dollar cost averaging. Buy a second one (or two) at the discounted price!

 

[fishgutz]

I should ask for a retroactive rebate then use that to buy XB12X.

 

[blott01]

Yeah pissed about it too. Been considering selling mine so I can go back to school and not have to work my butt off to pay for it. Guess that's not happening

 

[ghost96b69]

Yeah, with dealers offering new Buell's at half price, resale just took a dump.. but resale value will come back up after their all gone.

 

[Stevenc150]

I wish I'd got price breaks also when I bought mine, but looking back.....it's hard to put a price tag on the enjoyment. Besides, this will bring in quite a few new Buellers. Hopefully it means some close enough for some rides.

Wow, I am so lucky I sold my '05 Buell Lightning XB9SX with 9800 miles on it on Oct. 5th for $5000 even to someone off of craigslist. LUCKY ME!

 

[taylor]

brand new 1125cr at eastsise harley in washington, i was offered $6000-6500.. i owe more then that on my 08 xb12r. oh well, life goes on

 

[Nuage420b]

yea total cost for me was a hair under 10K after TTT. C'est la vie. Now i'm playing the super scrounging game to try and figure out how to buy a CR. So far I've spend 200 on scratch offs?!?!?!?! j/k I'm going to be selling off some stuff I have no need for and squirreling away for the next year, I'm sure there will still be unsold inventory next fall winter time frame. Those who know for the most part already own, and with as much doubt on the Buell's as most sport bike riders have i still don't think many will be willing to throw 5-6 g's on one. they'll probably just see it as further proof that "buells suck". . . Clowns. . .

 

[dave_xb12r]

I think the rebates will only be good for another week... so you better hurry

 

[BennyGca]

Well I actually paid $2,000 less tan retail.

In Canada the MSRP on a Hero Blue Ss was $13,449.00. I paid $11,500.00 before tax.

The new left-overs up here are cheaper, but not half. Our economy was still justifying higher $.

Bought my 09 XB12Scg in August for 10K. At first, the slash and burn pricing was really getting me down. Now I'm telling myself that they'll be collector bikes in five years and they'll hold their value better than I'd initially counted on in the long run. Hang on to those Buell's people. They're now not just great bikes, but rare classics to boot!

I wish I had money to get a new firebolt 3 years ago I paid 4500 for my 98 s3 with 4000 miles. I think that was a good deal for one of the last carbed tube frames no computers here just wrenches.
