A friend of mine just sold a used one for $4,000. The thing was practically immaculate, save a few scratches and what not on the plastic. All stock, and never flipped, rolled, or wrecked. Very well taken care of, basically.

Even though it is a moot point now, do you think $4,000 was just right, too low, or too high given the brief information I have provided above? I told him he should've at least been able to get $5,000 for it. Or, do you think that's too high?

 

Are you kidding me!!?? I would have bought it for that price!! that's at least $2000 under what it's worth. How many miles did it have? Not that it matters it could have had 2000miles and still be over $6000 IMO.

 

LOL... Nope, no kidding. Good question regarding mileage when he sold it. I'm not sure what it had on it. I'll ask him, and then post.

 

There's a BF 750 in the paper here in Michigan today for $5500 and it sounds like it has high milage so he was about $1500 off, in California it seems it would have been even more.

 

Talked to my friend earlier today. He said his BF 750 had about 360 miles on it when he sold it last week.

He sold it back home. So, this did not take place in CA.

He was asking $5,500 for it at first. Had a lot people stop to look at it, too. But, nobody too serious about it at that price. So, he droped the price to $5,000. Still had many people look at it, but no takers. Finally, had someone come by, who he told he was asking $4,500 for it. The dude countered with $4,000. My friend told him to be at his place the next day with $4,000 CASH, and he would do it. All history now...

I think my friend got screwed, and it was mostly due to one major fault of his own doing. The only advertisment he ever did was by placing the bike out in his front yard so that people passing by could see it for sale. No paper, internet, etc advertising whatsoever. He could have definitely gotten more than $4,000 for it. Oh well...

 

Yeah it makes me feel bad for him, because I know he probably paid a lot for it MSRP for the 05's is around $7500.


For what reason did he sell it, did he not like it?

 

Thats way under what you should be able to get for a BF..mine has like 600 miles on it and I get offers all the time to sell it for anywhere from 5500 to 7000 but I wouldnt sell it...anyways...thats a good question from toyeboy..any idea why he sold it?

 

Maybe he didn't have the title for it anymore. In this state it's hard to sell a bike/quad without a title because it's so hard to get license/ORV tabs without one. There is a waiting period. It's a PITA. Don't know how your state compares. That could explain why he only got $4000 for it.

 

There were several reasons why he didn't like it. They include engine whine, heat coming off of the engine near the legs, too tall and tippy, too much power, and drinks way too much gas. He says he is very happy with his replacement, which is a new 2005 Honda Rubicon.

Title was not an issue in this particular case.
