dude, yer bike is TWO years OLD? dam! im amazed they even knew what it was. you should sell that old thing!
Ok, second time in as many threads. If your pulling the guys chain its customary to use the smileys on this forum. If your just trying to be a jerk I would advise you to please rethink the way you interact here. That's a hint.

Is he letting you sleep with his girlfriend as well for that money? If not I think you should negociate that into the deal.

Especially if she looks anything like Jimbos picture...thats amazing Jimbo...if only!

huh? i have no idea what you are reacting to. ill translate my post to something devoid of humor if you want:

dude, dont bother trying to get top dollar by selling your two year old bike back to the dealer. trade in is for people who are in a hurry and dont mind losing money on the deal. if you want the most money for your bike, sell it privately.



hm. seems like others have said this though.

The other thing to consider with a trade is you do not pay as much tax on the new bike, since the amount given for the trade is not taxable.

i think what im going to do is just buy the new bike if i can get it cheap enough. then sell mine outright. it will be tough though if it doesn't sell quick.

talk to them again, they just wont budge either way. i'm afraid mine won't sell, i haven't had any insterest so far and its been a week. a couple of you have asked if if 15k plus tax adn yada yada. its 15k total no other charges. i asked a price on buying the 07 SG outright.won't bugde off more than 1k offmsrp. which is 18725 with teh options that are already on it. i can't really afford the additional cost with tax of buying outright. thats like another 3G my loan would be. i'm torn. its the only 07 ihave found in the area thats new.
