Title: New Bike?
Post by: liston127 on April 19, 2005, 01:07:24 PM
Tell me what you think of this. $4350 for a 2004 gs with 715 miles, about 3 1/2 mos under warranty and a helmet. It has one scratch at the base of the gas tank and three tiny knicks on the fairing. Is this a good deal or should I spend the extra grand get a brand new one?

Where were you able to find one that cheap? I haven't seen any less than $4000 used.

actually the title trouble was the second owner never registered the bike, and i knew he would never pay the taxes if i asked him too but the original owner signed the title and left the buyer area blank so i filled in my name and the price i got from the second owner and destroyed the first bill of sale between the original buyer and the second owner.

For cash -see if he'll go lower.
Financing- not a bad price.
Good Luck!

between getting a new one or spending $1k less for this one I would choose this one. You'll sell it in a year or three probably to move up so why take the depreciation hit?
