Trading in your bike is the fastest way to lower your payments on a new or used Harley-Davidson®. Follow these expert tips to ensure you get the absolute best market value for your current motorcycle today.
Get Your Paperwork and Service Records Organized
First impressions matter, and so does your bike’s history. Gather your title, owner’s manual, and all maintenance records before visiting our Denver showroom. Showing that you have consistently cared for your machine builds trust and proves its value. Having a clean title and documented service history makes the appraisal process faster and more professional for everyone.
Give Your Bike a Professional Deep Clean
Before bringing your motorcycle to Sun Harley-Davidson®, give it the wash of its life. A clean, polished bike suggests it has been well-maintained throughout its life. Focus on the nooks and crannies, polish the chrome, and condition the seat. A sparkling motorcycle stands out in our inventory of used Harley-Davidson® motorcycles for sale and attracts higher offers.
Address Minor Repairs and Routine Maintenance
Small mechanical issues can lead to larger deductions during an appraisal. Check your tires, lights, and fluid levels before you arrive. Addressing minor cosmetic or mechanical fixes shows us the bike is "front-line ready." When your motorcycle runs smoothly and looks great, it becomes a top contender among Harley-Davidson dealerships in Denver looking for quality trades.
