He replaced the rear tyre as well, probably from burnouts.

I don't see a 950 Toure` owner doing a lot of burnouts and I can't think why otherwise the bike would've already needed a new tire. Never hurts to ask.

My buddy is selling this : http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/3776337006.html He offered to sell it to me for 3700. I've ridden it a few times and I know that it's in good shape, he barely ever rides it. Probably the best sounding supersport I've ever heard/ridden. Since he offered to sell it to me for 3700, and I've been wanting to upgrade to an i4 600 for a while, so I put my SV650 up for sale: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/3810109037.html and I've gotten a lot of interest, all cash offers at my asking price. Do you guys think it's worth it to pay 3700 for my buddy's ZX6R? I also found this: http://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/3769093929.html and the guy said he'd take 4100, which isn't too bad. I like the swingarm on the 05, but I'm not sure if there are any other huge improvements over the 03. BusinessWallet fucked around with this message at 21:47 on May 21, 2013 |

I'd probably see if your buddy would go cheaper, considering 400 bucks will get you a 2 year newer bike. he's smoking dope on that price. Both bikes are great, the 05 is a bit better, one of my favorite all around 600s.

What's a good offer? I live in Philly and my buddy lives in Albany NY, he offered to ride it down here and take the bus home, so that was a nice perk. He knows it's not worth 4800, I think he paid 4400 for it when he bought it two years ago, he's just trying to avoid lowballing.

Listing for 10% over it's value is a lowball buffer. Listing for %50 over it's value is going to drive away any interest, since having to negotiate the bike down to it's true value is going to be too much work for the buyer. Shopping for motorcycles on Craigslist in the spring is the absolute worst way to purchase a bike. I'm always on the lookout so I called a guy on an ad the other day, listing was for bike in "good condition". I get there (30 mile drive) and it's unwashed, and has not been run in 2 years. Sigh. So I grab my multimeter and....no battery. No problem, I have a battery with me, so I ask if it's ok with him if I hook it up and we try to start the bike. He says ok, but wait, I ask if the gas was drained when it was parked....no of course it wasn't. My patience is at end, no way am I going to try to start it with dirty gas, so I tell him the best I can do is offer him a non-running bike price, which was more than generous. He gets a little pissed at me and says, "Well if there was interest in it I was going to get it running for the buyer, but I wasn't sure if anyone was going to call on it." At this point I was no longer interested in dealing with him so I laid my cards on the table, and gave him advice on the best way to sell the bike. All he has to do is get the bike running and it will sell, his price was right (for a running bike) he was just misrepresenting it. I recommend only working with dealerships until July. You can get a much better deal on a noncurrent new bike than a used one this time of year.

I really only have about 4K to throw around, so dealership isn't really an option. I was particularly interested in my friend's ZX because I know it's a reliable bike that has been well taken care of, and I'm sure he's willing to work out a better deal.

Price it neither low nor high, and both parties walk away happy with a minimum of hassle. Here is an example of having no clue how to sell a motorcycle (I've been looking for a reasonably priced M50): http://eauclaire.craigslist.org/mcy/3795428325.html Not that Blue Book means much, but KBB says $3500. He's been advertising it for at least 2 months. He will never, ever, sell that motorcycle because it's priced at a point higher than anyone with any knowledge is willing to go, and high enough that a new rider is going to look towards buying something new from the dealer. I don't mind haggling a little but I can't call him up and make an offer when the highest I'm willing to go is around $3200. He's also missing his spring window. I don't know, maybe the wife wants him to sell it so he prices it out of reach?

Yeah, I feel like a lot of these listings are just ridiciulously high because of some other reason, maybe they don't want to actually sell the bike. That bike you posted particularly, there's nothing really listed about it, so seems like he's not a motivated seller. I found another ZX: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/mcy/3812041286.html I'm not sure what to offer this guy, but he said he'd sell it for 4600, which still seems a tad high, but not too bad.

That bike you posted particularly, there's nothing really listed about it, so seems like he's not a motivated seller. I know a lot of guys that list their bikes that they'd be OK with upgrading but are just as content to sit on for another season at huge prices in the Spring. They're taking the long shot that somebody will see their used bike, with the perfect color, perfect mods, acceptable level of mileage, and be OK at paying well over KBB or any other rational amount for that. specific. bike. A couple of them have sold unexpectedly for close to ridiculous asking prices, and turned into a neat down-payment on some 10k+ bike they figured they would never be able to afford. As a totally unmotivated seller with loads of very motivated buyers, sometimes magic things happen in the Spring. Listing on CL is free and ignoring totally bogus e-mails takes a few moments of your time. Worthwhile investment of effort and time to see if you can make a couple K higher than you honestly expected to a whole bunch of people. I also know a bunch of people hunt for those 1/2 price motivated seller specials the week of xmas and do nothing but sit and wait until spring to make a few k a throw. Seasonal machines like these are a surprisingly safe investment if you play your cards right and don't expect to make millions. Halo_4am fucked around with this message at 16:46 on May 23, 2013 |
