I have a line on a 2008 Vivid Black Street Glide with 9,900 KLM ( 6,000 miles). I is all stock, and includes the security system and ABS. They are asking $ 17,900 CAN for the bike with remaining warranty in place, and extended service plan available. The bike was dropped and required about $ 3,000.00 in cosmetic repairs. The fairing and right side bags were repaired or replaced, I am not sure which. Also, the bike was a rental unit.Street Glides are one of the most popular models up here.

What do you guys think would be a fair price for this one?

A new 2009 in Canada is now $ 24,800 approx. + freight and dealer prep (about $ 950.00).

I am concerned about future value mostly. Would the accident claim and previous rental use affect the future value greatly?

 

Sounds a little steep for having been repaired, like everything the value diminishes when it has had cosmetic repair. My local dealer has 3 used 08 SG's one with 183 miles,(dont understand the concept of not riding) but they want 18,500 for it

 

Is that in US or CAN $. $ 18,500 US would be about $ 21,000 CAN.

 

I would be extremely leery of buying a used rental from any place, you don't know how it's been ridden. On top of that it's been dropped - I'd think I'd keep looking for something else...JMHO.

 

I think I would look elsewhere too. Most dealers will provide (or should) you with the previous owners name and phone number. I have always contacted the previous owner when buying used. They usually have no problem "enlightening" you on why they traded and the problems with the vehicle. I say no to this bike you have your eye escpecially if it was a rental.

 

Your kidding right???? I don't know ANY dealer that would like or let there be contact between previous owners and buyers..!!! I have never been able to contact an owner of a used bike I bought from a dealer.. AND when I sold/traded several of my bikes the dealer would not tell me who bought it/them.. I had stuff like serts and spare parts I wanted to give the new owners etc. But the dealers put the kibosh on that..

THis could be a whole new thread..!!!

Beatttle 55 Find another bike.. You don't want a rental wreck..!!

 

I bought a used 1999 Ford Explorer and I did contact the lady (via the dealer) about why she traded/sold it. Her reason for trading was to provide her daughter with a reliable fuel efficent car to go back and forth to college. Ohh and by the way have you never heard of "car fax"? I would be hesitant to purchase any vehicle if the dealer refused to provide previous owner info. I'll be waiting for you reply "it's a bike not a car", but still it would make me think the dealer has something to hide if they will not provide the info.....

 

that bike should be more like 15,000 us considering previous damage and the fact taht the demand looks to be on 2009s

 

As far as the bike ,be cautious.There could be hidden damage.If the fairing and bag was repaired,how was it done?And with it being a rental,was the **** beat out of it?

Now the part about contacting a PO,I think that most dealers would respect their privacy.

 

They are not hiding anything just protecting themselves against a privacy lawsuit. I do not want to be contacted by anybody that purchased anything that i previously owned and would consider it a violation of my privacy for a dealer to give out my personal information. I am not interested in getting involved in a strangers purchase from a dealer and would hang up. What makes you think that contacting a previous owner will give you any useful information? Previous owners do not lie? To me thats nothing more than a shot in the dark not worth the time. You are better served educating yourself on what to look for and trust your own knowledge or in the very least take someone with you who has that knowledge.
