So, what's the old bike worth...? - pointer2null - 12-01-15
Continuing on a changing bike theme, whats the old one worth?
The details:
Mk1 Fazer 600 S Reg (Jan 1999). Engine is good, new chain and sprockets + front tyre in 2014. Stainless steel downpipes, pure rust end can (original, leaks but always passes mot "Exhaust leaking but not excessively noisy"). Acumen Cat 1 alarm. Double bubble windshield. Oxford heated grips. Tatty givi rack (no box). Headlight mod.
About 50k miles.
No service history, but has everything done as needed and oil & filter changed every year (about 6k miles).
Dry miles only, except when it's raining.
Cosmetically it's in need of some TLC - a few scratches here and there etc.
No pic at the moment as it's dark and pissing down.
Not sure whether to part-ex it or sell private.

600 was what the dealer offered.
Just curious is I could get more private.

Mine was a lazy quick sale - a third bike wouldn't fit in the garage and I didn't have time to flog it piecemeal. If private took a month and got you 700 after ten messers have poised you off promising and not showing is it worth it? Is never going to be worth much more

I'll probably end up doing the same.
Shame really as the bike is quite good. Most annoying is I had to put new chain, sprockets and battery on it in the last few months of 2014 and feel like I haven't got my money's worth yet.

If you take the alarm off, I will give you £500. If you want to leave the alarm on there, £450.

:rollin
Bloody thing is a pain I must admit. And who takes any notice now of a car/bike (false) alarm going off? No one I suspect. I don't even look, just close the window/door to stop the noise.

If you were willing to hang on and weren't in a rush to sell, I reckon you could get £800+ for it privately if it is in good condition. More than anything I think its the mileage that will hurt the price. I bought mine for £750~ 2 years ago and its in pretty bad condition with more miles so...

I'd say around 900. 600 is a bit of a give away if it's a solid bike with good tyres, battery, c&s etc.

Unless you have someone ready to buy it cash, just PX it. We are only talking a couple of hundred quid, not thousands, not worth the hassle.
Ride to dealer on old bike and ride home on your new one, simples
