Default Price diff... need help!

I am looking at buying an 05 Metalic Silver F4i. I have started to look at prices and see what they are worth and selling for. The dealer I talked to wanted $7499.00 for a used 05. the NADA value is $7300.00 the KBB for retail is $6500.00 I am wondering what a fair price on this bike is with this wide gap of prices it makes negotiating a challenge. I'm sorry if this has been posted already new to the forum so not used to all the search tools yet.

There is another thread right now that is following along these lines. I got my brand new '05 Grey/Silver F4i for $8078 out the door....so it was down around $7300 brand new (before taxes, fees, etc.). Whether or not the market will support that for a used price in your area is something that you'll have to gauge.

In my area, I found a couple of used F4i's that were MORE than a new bike. Crazy!!!

i got mine for a grand more out the door with a new jacket, new pants, frame sliders, flushmount front signals (which wound up not working) and a rear assymilator. seeing that i got mine with 0 miles on it you've gotta take in what is going on with that bike. how many miles? how does it look? are there cracks anywhere on any of the plastics? is it covered in stickers? are there aftermarket parts on it? I'd say that if it hs under 500 miles on it take it for 7500 otd. any more ask for 7K

Well don't pay more than blue book for it, that goes without saying.

Check the miles, make sure its clean, ask them why they have it too. Was it wrecked, etc.

If $7300 is what the blue says you should pay then a "good" deal is something less than this number. I'd offer $7000 at the most.
