JJP XX Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Someone stopped by today and he liked the bike! His concerns were tires and the fact it has 32k miles. I can respect that. Looking at my records, the Front Pirelli Strada "E" has 12,500 miles on it and the Rear Pirelli Strada "E" has 5400 miles on it. My previous R tire, Pirelli Strada "E", last 12,700 miles and the previous F tire, Michelin Pilot Road, lasted 10,400 miles. I was asking $7900 and he offered $7000. I feel that is low but would compromise on 7500 as I agree w/the F tire "should" be replaced. He said that it wouldn't last the riding season and I agree w/that. He is looking to buy it this week! Your thoughts please... Quote
Wockman Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Unless you are desperate to sell I would not come down on the price. The riding season is coming and there will be plenty of springtime buyers. Kelly Blue Book puts it at $8825 so I would say $7900 is good deal with all the extras you have on it. 32k miles is not a lot for a touring bike. Quote
Iceman_40 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 It all comes down to how fast you want the money.... I think you could get your asking price but it may take longer. Quote
jcrich Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Replace the tire and keep it at your price. Quote
Fiona Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 You could sell it to him for $7000 without any of the extras. Those would sell quickly on the FJR forums without too much problems. Quote
OrganDonor Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 If want the cash fast, I don't think $7500 is too much of a comprimise from your original asking price of $400 more. Otherwise, I say replace the tire yourself, and stick to $7900 firm. Quote

jcrich Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I'm not the haggling type. If I like it, I buy it. Cash Well whether he hands you actual cash or a cashier's check, it is the same either way and doesn't affect the selling price in my opinion. Quote
