A good deal?

Hello, I am in my search for a used 98-01 VFR with low mileage. As we all know these are hard to come by. I have found a 98 vfr at a local dealer. The bike has under 12k miles. It has three seats, stock, gunfighter and lady and a solo seat with rear cowl. It also has a heli bars, two brothers exhaust and possibly a PC. The bike looks like its in excellent shape for a 98, no scratches or dings that are noticeable. The deal said they would give it to me for 4800 cash, a lil more than I wanted to spend but for such a nice bike I am thiniking about it. Would you buy this bike?

 

yes, I would

 

Bargain

Is it out the door price? I would bargaint down to $4300 with your caash in hand, and don't shown your intrest in the bike as much:unsure: Just my 2cents. Good luck.

 

I think he already showed interest. But I would recommend you ask them that 4500 is it with tax tags and whatever other fees that get stuck on. this drops the price of the bike drastically and you don't have topay for all those other fees

we did that with the truck m friend just bought. got the dealer to drop the price of the vehicle 4000 bucks they tend to lower the price if you do cash to. not a check but cash

 

That price sounds close to what you should probably pay for it if it is in really good shape. Kelly Blue Book says $4555 for my area at least. I looked for a 98-01 for a while but ended up with an 04 ABS with 4700 miles for 5K. I was ready for any vfr800 that was in great shape for the right price. Good luck!

 

Finding a 98 with 12k on the clock, is a bargain in its-self, which is the reason why it is worth top dollar. Just buy it. In 5 years time, when you still own the bike, what's a couple of hundred dollars. Its not worth the time thinking about it. Buy it already.

 

Buy it. ...what was the dealerships name again...?

 

LOL flameface, if for some reason I can't buy it or don't buy it I will post the dealer name and such! But till I make my decission I will keep that a secret!

 

Just kidding...hope you know that!!

 

Yea I do but like I said I will post the dealer info on the site somewhere if I dont buy it for some god forsaken reason!!!

 

I bought a 98 for 4300 a few months ago . It had 11.5k on it and lots of extras. I looked for about four months to find it and had to drive 2.5 hrs and trailer it back. I say buy it.

 

Vfourbear, Did you buy that from a dealer or a personal sale? Im paying a little more because its from a dealer.

 

With all the add-ons and relatively low mileage yeah I'd say that's a good deal. I bought mine with 1,750 miles and upgraded exchaust for 5 grand.

 

I feel blessed all the time knowings that my low mileage clean 5th gen was dropped in my lap right here in town.

 

Hi Guys
Just to put an international perpective on this,I bought my '98 here in NZ just on 12 months ago from a dealer with 18km on the clock and paid US equivalant of $5600.It's a stocker import from Japan without a single scratch.I have 35 km up on it now and have put a carbon fibre Kerker on it and it has turned it into a "wild beast"

 

Thats the one thing I will never miss about Oz and NZ. Getting reamed on the cost of goods.

However saying that, everything else about both countries is priceless.

 

i believe i looked at that bike almost 2 months ago they said 5500 then is it just over the line?

 

Buy it, you won't regret it
3 years ago I passed on a yellow 2000 vfr with 4300 mi on it cause it was $5400.
I was too cheap to buy it and I have regretted it ever since.
