Trade in values?

[Pittenger5]

How are trade in values at dealerships holding up? Does the economy affect them badly as well (I assume so).

Any dealers need a 636 in a trade in? haha

[Kurlon]

So far... I've not seen a drastic drop on car trade values, using my 02 Forester as a baseline. I think you will take a hit with a bike though.

[GixerJockey]

Trade values are certainly affected...

Especially on something that's not gonna sell for another 4 months...

I've never traded a bike, but it's got to work similar to car dealerships. The more margin there is in the sale, the better the offer they'll make on your trade. Unless it's a total POS, (which was the case the one time I traded in and got way more than it was worth) you're usually better off selling on your own and making the best deal you can on the purchase.

[nerijusj]

DB, no matter what the deal is, you loose a lot by trading in IMO. Better off to hold the bike until the spring if you can and pick up another one right now ( if you're looking for one ).

When I was thinking of getting the Aprilia SXV 550 about a month ago, the dealer quoted me trade in value from the book for my 06 R1...which I would have settled for, then called me back a few hours later and said it would be $2,000 less than quoted.
Bring some KY with you, cause you're gonna get fucked trading anything in now that's bike related

[butcher bergs]

Unless what you owe is less than the trade value offered and don't mind taking a hit on it, private sale is the better way to go.

[Pittenger5]

I owe NOTHING MUAHAHAHA.
But yah, Ill probably just hang onto it till the spring, and either sell it, or track prep it.

But I really want a dirtbike

[seth399]

don't you already have a fake dirtbike you ride on a road course and another fake dirtbike you ride on the street?

Keep your zx, buy my wheels for it and have sex with lots of women

...do the right thing

[Pittenger5]

don't you already have a fake dirtbike you ride on a road course and another fake dirtbike you ride on the street?

Yes, and I need a dirt bike to (GASP IMAGINE THIS) ride on dirt!

And I wish I could afford your wheels, but I cant. And theres a good chance Ill never ride that bike again anyway.

[seth399]

word...by all means I agree with having your bikes and a 3rd being a dirtbike..hellya. I keep wanting my 636 back but I need to let it go, I should follow suite and buy a 3rd dirtbike.

[Pittenger5]

I dont even really want the 636 anymore. Itd only be used for bigger tracks, and even then Im only 50/50 if I wanna bother riding it.
