Default Advice needed ASAP please- value of custom dyna

Hi gents, like the title says I'm looking for opinions as to the value of a bike that was offered to me. I'm typically pretty good with known stock bike values.

I would like to know what I could reasonably get if I sold this bike. I know I'm going to get the "a bike is worth what someone will pay". However, I'm just looking for opinions as to what the bike would bring if i were to trade for it then sell it.

Please disregard the 19k figures he's talking about, I.know that high.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Don't walk, but run away from that deal as fast as you can.
You can get a brand new Wide glide with 103 cubes for less
than 19,000 stinking dollars.

Oh, my mistake. I would be trading a jeep that is worth between 8-10k

I forgot those numbers were in his email.

Thought? What do you think the actual value is?

I would rather have a near stock 02 Dyna to build as I liked, not someone else's vision of what a bike should look like. To me the front end looks way too raked out for the frame height of the bike. not very eye appealing. I would have to change a few things on it which would affect the bottom line price. However, some money would be reclaimed selling the "take off" parts on e-bay. The engine upgrade doesn't account for much because changing from an 88" to a 95" motor should have been a factory recall in my opinion for how poor in performance those original 88" motors were. Taking all that into consideration I would say it's worth in the $10K to $12K neighborhood (to me anyway). I'd say you'd do good trading it for a Jeep worth 8-10K.

I wouldn't pay squat for it. Looks ugly and you can get a new one for around 16k.

I'd have to change so much on that thing,its not worth anything to me either-I'd say it's worth the cost of the engine and drivetrain-$6000-? On a good day. That dumb rake looks like hell. Keep the Jeep!

IMO hard to see a Dyna sell (actually sell...be sold..not just listed) for over 10 grand. Especially an '02.

If you're trading your Jeep for it..and you think your Jeep is worth 8-10k...that you could actually sell your Jeep for 9 or 10K....it's a close trade IMO. If you think your Jeep "might" fetch 8 grand all sold...you might be able to trade for this bike, sell the bike for 9 maybe 10.....and make a little profit.

Pretty close call though.
