Hey guys, toying with selling my absolutely immaculate 2006 Softail Standard with only 4370 miles on it. It is the nicest one left in the country. I can post up add-ons, etc. later. Take a look at the pics and the video and let me know what you think. It is a 10 of 10 and is immaculate.

Looking for idea on what this would sell for.

Add ons, bling, eng. work, etc does not add much to value unfortunately. That's why I keep all the stock parts and put them back on before selling. Then sell the parts. Otherwise, all your bling narrows your buyers down to a small group and much longer to sell. IMHO Good luck!
Nice looking bike!

 

The add-ons won't affect the price when trading it in to a dealer, been down that road. It certainly will for a private buyer. Appreciate the compliment.

Thanks

 

Central IL I'd guess $5k, $4k for quick sale. Doesn't stop people from asking $10-15k.

 

Appreciate the feedback. I would keep it forever before I would sell that for 5k, lol. No offense meant, I know what you mean.

 

I paid $6800 for my immaculately mint 2009 Softail Custom with 20K on it. The market sets the price based on demand. And in my opinion there is no market for these types of bikes right now. So their going to sell for a lot less.

 

I don't think there is ever a market for a particular cycle. 20k is quite a bit of mileage.

This bike would be for someone looking for an immaculate condition, very low mileage, standard.

Again, I appreciate all the feedback, it is what I wanted. I am amazed how cheap people sell these for. To me, 5k isn't worth putting in your pocket instead of having this machine. It's just no money really.

Thanks again.

 

Yes you will....NADA says it's a $5500 bike...good luck getting that in a cash sale...

The used Harley market is in the toilet...And I don't see it ever coming back to what it was...

At this time there are more Harleys on the planet than there are Harley riders...

 

Modifications generally dont add value in a used bike sale. In fact sometimes they limit the pool of buyers because they dont want it the way you changed it.
Its already been said but the NADA value is about $5500, if you get luck and find the right buyer you might get $6000 but Ill bet you have to keep it on the market a long time to find someone. Selling it to a dealer you will be lucky to get $4000 for it.

if that amount of $ is not worth it to you , just keep it and ride a couple times a year.

 

Nada says 5500 in my area as well, and that's not even the lowball price.

Older bikes will need certain things done.
Are the tires original or under 5 y/o?
Has the cam chain tensioner fix been done?

I hear what you're saying about price, but it's a really crappy market right now and people just aren't buying bikes.
