This 2003 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide with a sidecar sold for $7,571, and that’s strong money for a high-mileage, modified bike like this one.

This model is special for a couple of reasons. First, it celebrates Harley's 100th anniversary, which adds a nice layer of collectibility. Then there’s the sidecar — a feature that opens up the riding experience for more than just the solo rider. The 88ci Twin-Cam V-Twin engine is well-regarded for its torque and reliability, making this bike a solid choice for long hauls. With 78,000 miles under its belt, this one-owner bike carries a rich history, including rides from Key West to Alaska. That's serious adventure cred, especially with a backstory like being owned by a Vietnam veteran.

Now, let’s talk numbers. The bidding was competitive, with 40 bids pushing the price up. But when we look at the final sale price against the fair value estimate of $5,300, it’s clear this bike sold for 43% above what would be considered market-correct. The modifications, while appealing to some, might not add as much value as the seller hoped. In this case, the significant mileage and the fact that it’s been heavily customized could have turned some buyers off, leading to a final price that feels inflated.

Community reactions were mixed. One commenter even lamented, “Enjoy it — thing was 3 hrs from my house had already made plans with my brother to take off work FML,” showing how close they were to snagging it themselves. That kind of enthusiasm highlights the bike's desirability, but also the frustration of missing out on a hot auction.

For buyers on the hunt for a similar bike, keep a close eye on the details. High mileage and extensive modifications can significantly impact resale value. Make sure to verify the quality of those modifications and consider how they affect the bike's performance and reliability. A well-maintained stock bike might serve you better in the long run.
