So i've been looking into getting a Ducati 848 as a second bike. I found an 08 about an hour away with under 1k miles for 8900. It seems to be the going rate for this bike private sale even though this particular one is at a CAR dealership. I'm going to look at it on sunday and potentially put a downpayment on it.
Salesman says he's a rider, has an Aprilia, and says the bike is mint.

Does 8900 sound right?

Heres the link to the ad:

kbb says 8500 retail
so id try to talk it down a bit.

 

I went ahead and pulled the trigger! check it out!

 

Very nice bike, I love the look of the 848

 

What did you end up paying for it?

 

Very nice! Don't be tempted to go for a dry clutch conversion. I am constantly adjusting mine on my 1098s.

 

i ended up at 9200 out the door. honestly... i didnt really care about paying a little extra to get exactly what i wanted.

Now, the plan is to have my brother start learning on my f4i so we can ride together

 

Congrats! Now for the insurance payment. ;-)

Great looking bike, and I was thinking the same thing. If I want it, I don't mind paying a little over retail.

 

Nice bike and seems like a fair price from a dealer in this area. I see Pittsfield. Did you pick it up at Ronnie's or North's? I find Ronnie's is always a little on the expensive side. Typical for a Harley dealer who dabbles in Jap bikes I guess lol.
