What would you pay for a 01 f4i with 13k miles, c/f slipon and 'custom tail lights'? Good shape, nothing wrong with it.Im asking because I found one I like but I think he's asking too much.

 

the most would be $5k I thinking more in the $4000 to $4200 range tho for a 01.

 

from Motorcycle Consumer News Fall Used Value Guide:
$4295

from www.nada.com
Low Retail: $3265
Average Retail: $4295

from www.kbb.com
Suggested retail: $4720 (that's using my zip code)

I've found kbb.com values to be a little over priced. The nada.com values seem to be a little closer to the real world.

The c/f slipon and other customizing typically don't add much, if anything, to the value regardless of what the owner might hope....

Good luck.

 

Compare on ebay completed auctions and show him what you find. nada.com will tell you book value...in spring a bike will always pull more, but it should be a buyers market now. I paid $5800 for my brand new 06 f4i a month ago, so keep that in mind.

 

I would offer about $3500. The pipe and tailight are nice, but those kinds of things are nornally"giveaways", so that is just a bonus for you.

 

^ pretty much right.
unless the bike has chrome or some crazy performance crap, i would say that 4k is a good buy. for 4.5k that better be the most mintiest looking machine ever.
however, some people would say that 5k is fair because the market in their area has a much lower supply of used bike and that causes the price to maintain in higher digits.

 

a guy i work with is selling his 2000 f4 with around 6k miles on it. has cromed rims, frame, swingarm, and is as clean as you are gonna find. also has a pipe and some other add ons. he is asking 4500obo. in the cleveland area. i have seen them going around 3800-4500 in the cleveland area which is a bit north of you but not far.

 

im asking 3.5k for my 02 f4i and all the counter offers have been like 3.1-3.3 k

 

I bought my '02 F4i w/ 8k miles on it for $3700. It was in perfect shape.

 

I purchase my 02' f4i with 13k on it for $4k.

This time of year, the seller is only getting rid of it for the extra cash. I would try and give 3.5k and see how itgoes.

Keep us updated on your purchase, pics are always nice too. Good Luck!!!
