Blue Book Value?
Thinking about getting a new scoot. Had two new HD's, loved 'em, but thinking about a custom.
This builder is very well known in the industry for high-end bikes, and I found a 2004 with less than 1000 miles. Originally sold for about $55000. I may be able to pick it up for around $20000--- appears to be pristine.
Problem is----> my credit union always needs to see the book value to lend on a bike.
This builder is not listed in the 'books'.
Am I out of luck, or is there a 'work-around'?

- you must know something I don't, which is not surprising--This builder's bikes routinely sell $30+ for used, so I'll bite, why do you think the bike cannot be worth $20,000 with less than 1000 miles?
