I reached out to the seller and it sound like he got the short end of the stick trying to help a friend out. Paid $4,500 for the bike and shipped it home then sunk another $3,500 into it.
Work done at the Harley dealer with documentation includes:
Battery replaced
Tires replaced
Fuel system flush and lines/petcock replaced
Carb rebuild
Handful of leaky gaskets replaced
Spark plugs
Brake flush
3-hole oil change
And a number of various other little items.
He came down to $4,800 and I think that's fair. I'm going to get eyes on it Thursday when I'm in his area for work.
Black Book PowerSports says "Average" value @ $4.685.
JD Powers says "Good" condition @ $4,495.
If there are no red flags, it's in at least average or good shape, and the documentation is for current work... IMHO, that price is fair.
Sounds like a doable, fair deal....
Keep us posted...
