Default Road King Pricing??

OK I'm looking at a Road King Classic, black with a few extras on it. It's a 2000 with 6,000 miles on it, fuel injected. It's a private owner. My question is what is a realistic price to offer? More specifically, what do these bikes actually sell for? He's got about 15,000.00 in mind and I'm more like 10,000.00. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

A used HD is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it, with that said there's no way I would give $15000 for a 2000 model, with a little extra get an 07 model or for around the same price an 05 or 06

All true... I guessI should have simply said " what do they sell for" Thanks for the reply, though

HarleyPaw is right for a couple grande more you could have an '07. He's pretty high on his price. You might try looking on Ebay at what that bike actually draws in the auctions. Just a thought.

NADA avg retail for a 2000 RKC is $11,665.00 I would not pay anything extra for the extras.This is not a retail sale so the price would be a little lower. I think I would offer $10,500 and go from there.

In addition to NADA, eBay shows 8 completed listings for 2000 RKC's. The low was for about $9,000 for a 52K mile bike and the high was $13,000 for a SE conversion chromed-out bike with 19K. I personally think eBay prices are a little below market because most people there are looking for a big bargain ... but it does give you an idea what you can buy one for. 6K miles is low mileage, but $15,000 seems very high to me for that year.

The Kelly Blue Book pricing, and we all know they are high is as follows:
retail = $13,665
trade-in = $9,335
I think this guy's listing is high. Probably hoping to get an '07 himself. If you are willing to spend $15,000 you can have an '07 for about $18,000 plus whatever you dealer charges for prep. If i were to make an offer it would be somewhere between retail and trade-in KBB.Hope this helps some.

meeting him half way ($12,500) would be a fair price i would think. at 6000 miles, the drivetrain is still *new*....i would think thata low mileage bike would be preferred by most people, and at $12,500, youre still quite a bit away (money wise) from an 07.

This is great input, thanks! Just what I was looking for. I'll have to poke around at e-bay to pull up the completed listings.I started to look for a heritage and wound up looking at road kings. I think my wife's tail bone will do better on a road king.
