which F4i? I have two =p

I have a 01 with 30k miles for 3800 and i have my Custom 05 with just under 800 miles for 10,000

 

however you cant always trust a clean title because that just means an accident wasnt reported to insurance.... check the bike not the title

 

Very true!..... My point was though, most potential buyers are not seasoned riders with lots of mechanical knowledge. The average guy out there buys a bike and never turns a wrench on it. those kind of guys will turn away from a salvage title simply out of fear, that fact alone knocks the resale value down.

 

^^ i'll agree with ya on that point [:@]

 

Did you ask why it had a salvaged title?...You'd be surprised at the answers people will give you. Also like everyone else said the price needs to be significantly reduced simply because the title is salvaged.

 

looking at the comps in that area as long as there is no mechanical damage or structural (no frame damage, no leaking forks) and the basics like tires and chain/sprockets are in good shape id say 4k is a reasonable offer.

 

very true, my wife totaled her last car (bent the frame) and for some reason I canceled my bike insurance in December and instead of canceling my bike, they canceled our cars...so she got in a wreck, insurance wouldnt cover it, and $5500 damage when the car booked at $6k...we sold it to a mechanic he fixed it and the car still has a clean title.

I still wouldnt $4400 for a salvage b/c even though it might be in great shape that "salvage" on the title is going to make alot of people turn the other way. I would offer $3700 max but thats me
