And she could very well be thinking....high gas prices,more people riding= more money for motorcycles now.

Did someone already mention this? Undecided

But,if people are going to ride MC's due to high gas prices,they probably will still shop for the best deal.

So,you shouldnt have a problem,at least not a big one

But,you can always shop around for even a better deal.Or..IF,that one should fall through.
I used CycleTrader,online classified ,etc....I shopped about a month or 6 weeks to get what I wanted and felt that it was the best or at least a good deal.
(and a awesome color also-custom painted pearl white + a special thing painted on the tank...I liked it ...felt, this is it! Wink

Just a thought! But/and...I was new to shopping for a MC and new to riding one,(doing all this mostly on my own)....had always been a passenger before.

You may have much more experience than I had!

Take a piece of paper, write down your name and number.

Put down your cash offer and hand it to her and leave.

In a few months maybe she'll come to her senses and give you a call.

Some people you just can't rush, especially when they've made up their mind. Tell her to call a dealer and ask if they got a new c50 and how much would her s40 be worth in trade. Make sure she's sitting down. Shocked

Reply #18 - 06/16/08 at 04:28:21 Just FYI, I saw a low mileage 96 on craigslist at $1000, today I saw the guy had relisted it at $1300 couse so many people offered that sight unseen! Stupid him for not checking pricies better, and tacky for raising the $ once he figured it out.

Reply #19 - 06/16/08 at 10:23:55 In my area (Mass) every $400 bike is selling for $800 or more. Unbelieveable. Watch Craigslist. Another s40 will come along. In the meantime, I agree with the poster that suggested handing her a paper with your name, number and cash offer.

Reply #20 - 06/16/08 at 10:40:45 The bike is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it... I'm sure that SOMEONE is willing to pay that for her bike (that doesn't mean they wouldn't be dumb, but... Yanno)... I agree with the above. Just give her a cash offer and that's all you can do... If not, you'll find another.

Reply #21 - 06/16/08 at 10:53:22 I bought a 2002 for $1700 w/9500 miles on it w/sb & windshield & new tires. The seller was asking $2300. The bike had been dropped in his drive and had a cracked front right turn signal. Replaced for $5.

Now that I am armed with enough info to negotiate the owners seem to be out of town. Nobody home day or night but when I knock I hear a dog barking so they must have a pet sitter. I will keep trying and hope to get this Savage in MY garage soon. I know one of their neighbors and will ask them tomorrow if they know what is up. Fingers crossed.

Great forum here as I really appreciate everyone chiming in with their pricing. A rare bunch you all are and I toast you all!
