Default Stunning HD 2000 Softail FLSTC

I am a new to the forum and have yet to find the right HD for me.

I think I have narrowed down the styling I like and am now actively looking.

There is a stunning 2000 softail listed on ebay. I love thelook and the color scheme.
I am not sure if this is a no no to post ebay item number butI really would like some opinions on this bike as well as the "theft recovery" salvage title that it has.

Should I stay away? What would be a good price for this? If I don't go for this one would I find something just as nice a little further down the road to owning one?

Ebay item # 220106513349

Any opinions would be appreciated...

thanks
Fred

It's a salvaged bike that is already over $10k.

I'd pass...........

I hear you...
In this case does the slavage title mean it is damaged and can only be parted out ?

I would definetly stay away. A theft/recovery bike could easily be trashed mechanically and still look good.

It is not a Harley, note the make is listed as "Special Construction" and the speedometer/odometer is not the digital odometer as an 2000HD would have had. Fair warning.

I would be wary of a salvage title.

Pass .....

Too many possible issues with a rebuilt custom Harley. Not sure about CA but in FL I believe a salvage title means that the rebuild costexceeded 50% of the book value of the bike. A salvage title is typically issued here if a dealer does the work.

Pretty rare color combination and a real looker though.

You should be able to find a comparable late model Heritage for under $15K. Found my '97 last year through a private seller. 9500 miles/$9,000.00. Just have to keep looking.

Salvage title in Va. means more than 75% damaged I would stay away.
