They can ask high prices but they will not get it though. Anyone asking a price for a used machine thats even close to the New price is just dreaming.
A Example here (Ontario Canada) is a 04 660 grizzly in mint shape with 1000 KM (600 miles) the guy is asking $6500 and you bet he would take $6000. Thats the same price as a NEW 350 Bruin/Grizzly around here! A new 660 Grizzly is about $10,000! in Canada.
When went riding with a guy with a brand new AC 500 in a week you could not tell it was the newest ATV in the group and if he planed on selling it I bet he would lose $1000 just in his one week of ownership.
Same with anything used, a 05 F-150 4x4 XLT extenda cab for sale here that Looks new with 13,000km (8000 miles) is selling for $27000 those trucks new sell for over $40,000 here.
I have no problem letting some stranger put on the first 8,000 miles on my truck if he pays me $13,000 .
If you buy private you only pay 1/2 the taxes as new also. They may be some bad deals out there but the there are more great ones than bad.
I also buy my used stuff from Joe Family man or Mister retiree not a 16 year old piston head.
