Here's a trick I learned from an "old horse trader". It has serious results!
Go get your $3200 cash. Pocket $2800 in your left pocket, $200 in your right, and the $100 in your left rear, then $100 in your right rear pocket. After you check it out for a while, if you decide you want it, start haggling with him. Shake him up with a $2500 offer and he'll most readily disagree. He'll probably throw back $3200 as his price. You know you got this on you, but don't let him know that. Reach into your left pocket and pull out that fatty wad of cash and start countin' through those hundred-dolla' bills right in front of him. When you get to $2800 (28 hundred dollar bills later), say "This is what I got man, right here, right now. What do you say?"
99% of the time, money talks. Seein' those green bills out there gets people to salivating. They'll come off more than they want to when they know the cash money is right before their eyes. If he's a 1%-er... you know you can go up in 100 or 200 incriments within your other pockets. But, I'd feel safe saying that you'll walk away with enough money in your pockets to pay for some insurance, get a new helmet, or trick out somethin' new on your shiny new bike!

I think the asking price sounds okay, but you should always offer less...you don't know if you don't try. Good luck, and keep us informed. By the way, welcome to the forum.
