What should i ask for sp500 in great shape,no extras. cmon guys i need your feedback,i have a guy that wants my bike and is offering me 4500.does this sound good? i can buy a new HO for 6200 or maybe 5995!!!! give me your feedback. thanks

 

Saddly, I think everyone is wanting to sell their 500 for an HO. I have a 2000 500sp with 25 hours on it and I would love to sell or trade mine for the ho, but my dealer won't trade.

Good Luck

Hugh

 

Silverado; At the bottom of your post you you list several extras on your bike .Are they coming off before you sell it?
I recently bought a 99' with a 2000# winch, EPI clutch kit and 26" ITP polished alum./blackwater tires for $4500 +tx.
A local dealer had 2 of them (husband&wifes) on consignment so they could get there HO's.
They both have 1400 mi./89hrs. on them. "Hers" was stock and asking price is $4699. The one I got had an asking price of $4999.
I made what I felt was a low ball offer at the salesman's proding me to do so. He said "The owner wants His new HO".
Another local dealer just took in 4 trade-ins on 2001 HO's. One of them is a stock 99 Sp,not sure of the miles, and he is asking $5400,he added, "negotiable".
The best deal in this area that I've seen is $5200 +tx. for a 2001 HO.
Take it for what its worth & good luck.

 

CORRECTION; That should read $6200+tx. for a new HO.

 

all of my extra stuff will be comeing off for the sell.

 

all of my extra stuff will be comeing off for the sell.

 

it will be just the bike only,so what do you guys think???? should i counter with a 4600?

 

man i really would like to have a shiny new sp HO,i thinka 1700 tade diff isnt to bad.what do yall think??

 

cmon what do you guys think? the sp does have 1000 miles on it,and the guy has cash. so i need your help to convince me.

 

Unfortunately The H.O. has created a glut in the market for the Sportsman. I just sold my late 2000, with the new clutch cover and ventilated brakes, with only 350 miles to a Bud for $5800. I think I lucked out. My dealer said he would have given me $5500. But for a '99 you may not do any better than $4500. And for that price, definitely keep your extras. If not for the glut, I would think you could get $5000.
The H.O. is hot, and I love the power. No one talks about the firmer ride, but we compared springs yesterday and the H.O. definitely has stiffer springs front and rear than a SP. That's why it jumps better, but I kinda miss the "cush".
