RE: Nightster value?
Since KBB doesn't have good sale data on it you might be able to squirrel a few extra dollars out of someone. Probably very close to 1200C though which, for 07, retail is $9125.
Obviously private sale is your best bet. A dealer buy back will only get you slightly higher than trade in....that is even if you can find a dealer willing to do a buy back at all.
Here's the painful truth stuff.....The likely reality of trying to sell this soon is that you will lose money. I understand you have some crumby circumstances and you have no other choice. I assume you are going to need to move the bike pretty quick too and can't afford to keep it and another car payment for very long. Unless you had equity in it when you bought it (big downpayment), or you own it, I'm 99% sure you won't get what you owe. No one cares about tax, tags, extended warranty, etc. The bottom line on your bill of sale means nothing to the prospective buyer. Nor do they care about how much you spent on accessories. I hope you find the right buyer who has the same taste as you and thinks your mods are eactly what he/she wants. If so, you run a good chance of getting extra dollars for them. If not, your accessories are wasted money left on the bike. Better to put the bike back to stock and move the other stuff on Ebay or here in the classifieds. Blah blah blah...I am preaching to the choir I am sure.
I hope things work out for you. I really hope you find a way to replace the four wheeler and keep your scoot. If you can't, my recommendation is to put the bike as close to stock as you can, ask $9000-9500 and sell the accessories on Ebay.
