@Buddha$ KBB lists the trade in value at $4870, retail value (how much a dealer would sell it for) as $6685.

A good estimate of private sale value would split the difference, so about $5800.

I’d say closer to IronAss’ number.

Its a 20 year old bike, with high miles. Granted I got 70 and 90 on mine, its still high miles. It has cool/loud paint, but thats only a selling point to the right person.

KBB prices are sometimes off.

But we’ll see if the market for used machines is soft
this year. I’m thinking not

It looks to be EFI from the picture....

According to Black Book PowerSports, 2000 FLHRI, average retail is $4,405.00...

Year: 2000
Make: Harley-Davidson
Model: FLHRI Road King
Model Type: Cruiser
Displacement: 1450
Cylinders: 2
VIN: 1HD1FBW1Y
Finance Advance: $3,365
MSRP: $16,020
Avg Retail: $4,405
Auction Wholesale $3,425
Clean Trade: $3,330
Fair Trade: $2,710

That year had the Magneti-Marelli EFI system.... I would suggest you walk away, unless you are familiar with that MM EFI system enough to work on it yourself...

People who understand it are getting scarce and parts are getting hard to find.... Sooner or later it is going to need some attention... There are many who are swapping it out for a carb at the first sign of trouble... That's not a cheap or easy swap to do, and can get real expensive if you have to pay a shop to do it...

Good luck with your decision...

$5 to $7 grand, area dependant on the market. People are getting tight with the casual spending money.

Wow, 2010 red king and you want to trade for a 2000. That ain’t no straight up trade in my neck of the woods. In fact, you’d get a pretty fancy label around here.

Unless you have well over 100,000 miles on your 2010 red king. Then maybe it is a break even.

Just saying, sounds like you got an itch, grass is greener syndrome. Hope you feel better in the morning.

I agree, I don't consider 54k miles as "high mileage" for a 20 year old bike.
That equates to aprox. 2,350 miles per year.
On a bike that's only a couple of years old...yes.

If it was me, I would be giving very strong consideration to the proposed swap!
I for one have admired that paint job for years.
Best of luck to you.

OP is the owner of the 2000 model, is wondering if he should trade it straight up for a 2010 model. I would.
