We paid $3000 for a 99' with 14,000 miles. Salvage title but runs and looks awesome. Seemed to be a fair deal. Maybe should have paid less but we plan to keep it for a while.

 

for a decent condition one you'll expect to pay at least 4grand

Now one that may have a few fairing issues, dings, dents, but mechanically good you might catch one for your 3,000 mark
a little Love as you said and it'll be good to go, assuming as previously stated engine/frame/electrical system/ etc. are not an issue

Look for those ads that say they may have a little (cosmetic only) damage to save some money and you can find plastics, etc. on ebay or google your way around to find parts.

I got my 99 with 1600 miles on it (guy never rode it! ) just bought it in middle of 2k5, I got it for a great price.

Hurry up , summer's coming!

gO hONDA!

 

yeah you did good
nice color

 

I paid 3500 for a 99 f4 with 11,000 miles. Clean title but has minor fairing scratches on the left side. Custom paint and D&D slip-on. I found it on myspace lol. Not too bad if you ask me.

kewl color

 

Don't forget about supply and demand market conditions. Here in Raleigh, NC, sportbikes are hard to come by. KBB does not mean a thing. Recently I saw a '97 F3 in okay condition go for $3500. I friend of mine just sold his '01 GSXR600 for $6000 (KBB $4500). I guess alot depend on that. I sold my '98 FZR600 last summer for $800 more than what I paid for it 2 years earlier. It's a crazy market here.

 

So, I should ride down and advertise my bike there? : )

 

Bring it down, I'll help ya sell it!!!
It's an absolutely crazy bike market here. There are probably as many sportbikes on the road as there are cruisers.

 

I got my '99 F4 Yellow and black, 37500 miles on it for 3700, clean title and minor front fairing scratches from a parked tip over. I tipped it over and fractured my right ankle when I went to look at it. My ankle is still flucked up! I got somea paintball size broken blood vessles on my right az bone

 

Where are you located? I am in Gainesville, Fl and there is a 99 F4 for 3200 with 18k, chick owns it, went and saw it, says it scares the **** out of her, clear title as well. That is the cheapest one I have found especially clear title and only a few scuffs, nothing major at all. I thought about buying it and reselling it to make a grand.
