This could be a good deal..


Recommended Posts

Good deal indeed. Except the extra costs that crashed toys adds to the purchase that they dont tell you about. Plus the cost of getting the title fixed thru the DMV.

Seems like you know someting about this.

How much does crashed toys add?

Since its a recovered theft I'm thinking that it wouldn't have a salvage title. So what is involved in getting the title fixed through the DMV.

My brother bought a recovered auto theft once and he just had to get it retitiled. Normal retitling cost. He purchased it directly from an auction. They included paperwork with the sale. It included something from the insurance company indicating that it was a recovered theft item. That was years ago though.

I miss my bird and wish I'd have never sold it.

We told you. :icon_razz:

Yeah I know, and I should have listened! The ZX-14R worked great, but I just never liked it like I did the XX.. I've bought and sold a lot of bikes over the years but the XX is the only one I really regret selling. Live and learn!

I'd also like to know about the fees and possible titling issues. If I were to get it cheap enough, I really wouldn't care if the title said salvage etc.

Look at the title status. All states have different laws. Here in Wisconsin you need to take before and after pics as well take the bike to a police station and pay $350 to have it state inspected which will get you a rebuilt/salvage title which will also hurt the value even if it was only a theft. Crashed toys requires you to pay a fee to register plus there is a fee for the auction plus you will have the cost of shipping. And I also remember a cost for some broker to handle the transaction but that may have changed. Most of these auctions are insurance auctions with other dealers bidding against you.

Things may have changed however since ive looked into buying a bike for the track so look into this before you just give up on it if its something you really want

Thanks. No I'm not interested although this does look like a nice bike. I think if someone was thinking of buying it with the idea of keeping it forever the hurt value of the salvage title wouldn't be too much of an issue. I was just wondering what the costs were since I've seen bikes on there before that looked like good deals. I figured that there would be some fees. I just didn't know how much it adds to the cost.

I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Why?

This same bike has been listed in the exact same fashion for at least 6 months. Whether they keep running the same auction because they don't meet reserve or such, I don't know. They can't even be bothered to fix the caption to not read for a Suzuki. Somethings quite odd with this one.

If someone has a genuine interest in the bike, I'm only about 25 miles away.
