Default Curious about prices... softail springer

A friend of mine wants to trade a race truck I have for a 2002 springer softail. It's basically stock with 2700 miles.

NADA says it's worth about 11K.

I'm wondering how much the 2700 miles will add on (if any) to the value of the bike.

Any thoughts?


Thanks,

If you can find a win-win deal & you're both happy, it's a good deal.
I've been known to "trade down" either 'cause it was something worthwhile for me or 'cause it was fun to bless someone else with a real good deal.
I worked for an old guy who said, "Life is a really big game. Money is not the best way to keep score."
IMHO, the low miles are nice to brag about on the bike you mention but at it's age, it doesn't make it worth a very big percentage more.

Thanks Hippie, I'll definitely be trading down. The truck is a '96 S10 with 468 blown big block. It's more complete than these pics but it's obvious I haven't finished it and it'll be easier to sell the springer.
