A local dealership has a 2010 non-DCT with just over 10k miles. Aside from an aftermarket can (and possibly a Power Commander or its equivalent), the bike is stock. No hard bags.
The advertised price, $9,900, seems a little high. What do you guys think?
You can find new 2010's online for 10k... as a DCT if you shop hard... I've seen the F models for as low as 9800 new. Perhaps the incentives are different on the different models.
Personally, I think 9900 even for one used is a good price for what you get... If you could get them to come down a thousand bucks it's a heck of a deal.
Here's a current ebay advertisement. There's some associated freight/prep fees, but this should show you what is out there.

I paid $9999 for my then stock 2010 with 400 miles and 10 months left on warranty in December of 2010. Way too high. Shop around and you'll find a new one for nearly that price with no miles and 12 month warranty. Just my opinion.
For a dealer, that's not a bad asking price. They will be very happy to sell it at that price, but there's probably room in there for negotiation. Assuming it is still in new condition. The two add ons are probably $500-$1000. I think $9000 is a fantastic deal, but don't expect to get a steal from a dealer. They will only go down to $9500 probably.
They're asking too much. That bike's worth about $8.5k. If they insist on $9,900, that bike's gonna be on their lot a very long time.
When I told the guy that new '10 DCT's were going for $9,999 on Cycle Trader and eBay his response was "That's because nobody wants those." Um, ....not true.
