Selling the bike

[r6girl2005]

Yeah, she's gotta go. Been laid off since Thanksgiving and well I need the dough. I'd like it to to go to someone that will appreciate it so if any of you guys know someone please let me know. I have it listed at $6400 but I'm open to any offer.

Hopefully, by spring things will get back to normal and I can get myself another.

I smell Duc 848.........

Trade-In Value (Good Condition)

Trade-in Value is what consumers can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in unit assuming an accurate appraisal of condition. This value will likely be less than you would receive from a private party sale because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections, reconditioning and other costs of doing business. Trade-in values are based on clean units in good condition, with all original standard equipment. Mileage/condition and additional equipment may have a substantial impact on the value shown above.

Suggested Retail Value
$6335
The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices and is the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer. This Suggested Retail Value assumes that the unit has been fully reconditioned and is in excellent condition. Mileage/condition and additional equipment may have a substantial impact on the value shown above. This value also takes into account the dealers' profit, costs for advertising, sales commissions and other costs of doing business. The final sale price will likely be less depending on the unit's actual condition, popularity, type of warranty offered and local market conditions.

Most people wont get full retail for their bike, especially in January. You should probably be in between trade in and retail.

Yeah I understand, I'm just trying to see what kind of offers I'll get.

Sad to see. And here's Volition with the price matching. Jesus!

[Volition]

Hey! Her I'm helping out, Joe I ridicule. If you ask too much in an add you wont get any hits at all.

I went ahead and dropped the price. I guess if I gotta get it moving I have to remember it is winter. I'm just trying to be optimistic by thinking spring is right around the corner.

I don't know, I don't think the price is too bad. Thing is with sportbikes is they mostly sell to young guys and once they take the big hit from rolling off the show room floor they hold their value pretty well. It's because there's always a guy that wants a crotch rocket.

Good luck with the sell, shouldn't be hard with as little miles as you have on it.
