Well when a new 2024 will probably list for $3999. What do you think he can get for a 3 year old one? They were scarce, not now, motorcycle sales are slow and things are setting on the floor. He's got money invested in his used inventory, it cost him out of his pocket every day it sets there.
In my experience it's rare to ever be offered a decent price for a vehicle trade in unless the demand for that vehicle is exceptionally high, as was the case for many vehicles earlier in the pandemic.
Sounds a little insulting to me lol. I sold mine straight out for either $4000 or $4200 I’ve kinda forgotten. I had put a couple extra on it that probably amounted to around $200. Mine had 3060 miles on it. I know dealerships want to make money but that’s not enough in my opinion if the bike is in good shape. Mine still looked factory floor new almost.
You always take it in the shorts when you trade into a dealer. The question is how much. The advantage is it's easy to ride in on the old ride , ride out on the new. The market is a little softer on the 125 than it has been so it is not likely somebody is going to snap up a used unit for a at near new price. Remember the 2023 ct has been upgraded nicking the value of the pre-oil filter units a bit. I imagine $3000 if you want to move it quickly. Being in stock configuration is an advantage ,a person rarely gets much return on do dada and add ons.
California never disappoints. The Saint Helena price is round about what I paid in Carson but I paid lower sales tax living in San Bernardino County.
If I would have kept mine I would have done something about the seat. That seat sucks, lol. About 2 hours of riding and my butt was getting sore. I guess more CTs are in the market now so the price has probably came down on them a bit used since I sold mine. By the way. Other than being a little on the tall side I like my CRF300. I can run the speed limit anywhere on this one, and it still averages about 85mpg.
Rackbid, not sure if you still have the 21 model, but a quick check on cycle trader shows 21 models with less than 500 miles on them going for $3800 to $4300. With your mileage I'm not surprised they offered you $2000, they'll probably sell it for $3500. If I were you I'd sell it privately.
Mine sucked until I did the mods. I love it now! I would ask where you are located,but I have three bikes now,with one I have yet to mod. For about 800 bucks you can turn that thing into a MOTORCYCLE! Do that,and wait. You will want to keep it then.
3800 bucks in a trade for new bike at retail would be a good deal for them. They will not lose any money.
Yep and that's why I ended up paying ADM for a new one.
Yep, I've heard the same thing. VW's too. Everyone thinks they can pick-up an old air-cooled Bug for $500

It's definitly a 'Sellers Market' for just about everything here in So.Cal.
I find this thought process funny.... It is worth what a buyer pays, no more, no less.
