Default 1999 Fatboy worth?

99 Fatboy with 25,000 miles in great shape with a few mods including v&h pipes and few other things but mainly stock. Trying to figure out what good price to buy would be on one of these.

That's $270 under trade-in. They don't get much cheaper with that few miles.
Check her over and buy it today if in good shape.

A running Softail is worth $5k parted out.

If the bike looks good in person then $5,800 sounds like a good price. I sold my 99 Fatboy a couple of years ago for $11,500. It had 13K miles on it and loads of extras.

Check the cylinder base gaskets for leaks, but that sounds like a good deal to me.
