A Good Deal?
Just need some opinions if this is a decent deal.
2001 CBR 600 F4i - Silver/Black 1700 Miles with several accessories such as tinted windshield, alarm system, tank cover, chain cover, bike cover, etc. Supposed to be in mint condition and doesn't appear to have been dropped judging from pictures online. Listed for $4900 |
is it 1700 or 17,000 miles? seems a little much i think you can get a RR for that much.
F4i should be at most 4000.... thats just from my own shopping around |
Yeah surprisingly it is 1,700 miles. I think it's listed at that price because of all the accessories and very low mileage...
|
he had it for 8 years and only went 1700..wow.. yeah if thats the case go for it
|
I'd say go for it. 1700 miles? The thing's not even broken-in yet :) Try and talk him down a little, but that's a fair price, imho.

Welcome
Firstly ....welcome the the CBRF mate:D
That is bloody unbelievable 1700miles in all those years !!!:eek: Although the miles are low , that is top bucks for one of those model CBR's..

Offered him $4,500 cash on the spot and he wouldn't take it. So I guess I'll keep looking....

I have seen F4i's even lower than $4000 ...I would not worry about the super low millage on that one mate ...as these CBR engines are bloody strong , even with tens of thousands of miles on them :D you will find a nice one soon I am sure and hopefully for way less than 4900!! :D |
Give him a week or two, then check back with him to see if he's sold it. If not, ask him if he'll reconsider your offer :D
On Craigslist oftentimes you'll see a seller's listing over a time period progressively go down in asking price when no fish are biting. |
Yeah its been listed since 3/7. I could tell the guy hadn't really ever sold anything before so we'll see. Also, he put a bunch of these clear decal things all over the bike to protect it from scratches and stuff. So I'm kinda worried about peeling all of those things off and not taking any paint off since they've been on for 8 years now. And are the designs on the fairings painted or decals?
|
Stickers ... but they have clearcoat over them if they are factory. I wouldn't worry about the clear protective stickers. Just get them warm with a hair dryer and they should peel off no problemo.
And welcome to the board! |
