2007 sv

[SVTEAL]

Based on the USA.

I am in the market for an SV, but all the local dealers have ran out.

They don't have any left over from 2008 and Gladius is not here yet.

I found a dealer 65mi away from home that has a Zero miles left over 2007, but it is November 2008...

Why would they have that bike for so long, why isn't it gone by now...

Anyways, they are willing to let me have it for $5K USD out the door...

Is that a good price for a new 2007 bike ?

[muffles]

To be honest not many are going to know about US prices - so a lot will be guesses. What do the bikes go for normally?

Btw what is the reference to the Gladius about - just in case you were thinking it replaced the SV, I gather it doesn't - so can you not just get a 2009 bike?

[muffles]

Btw, when I say what the bikes go for normally, I mean what's the sticker price of a 2009 bike?

Many reasons, the common here in the UK is that everybody wants the latest colours despite the bikes being the same.

Thank you for replying Muffles...

Here in the US the Gladius will be replacing the SV Naked since there is no 2009 SV Naked.

We do have a continuation on the dress style, so there is a 2009 SV650SF.

The original prices for the Naked were as follow MSRP:

2007 $5949 or $4620 used KBB, I found a left over bike for $5000 OTD
2008 $5999 Naked
2009 $6499 Gladius

Cool, if in fact that is the reason then I don't have a problem with that...

But I must admit that it is worry some to me, I start to think is there a valid reason why no one else wanted this particular bike, is there anything wrong with it...

Its a mass produced bike and as long as it comes with the full warranty then I would snap it up.

Well, yeah it will come with the standard manufacturer warranty that covers some things for a period of 1yr.

The dealer always try to sell me the ez-pass extended warranty but I never buy it and for the last 3 bikes I have gotten new, I knock on wood, I have never had any need for the extended warranty, these Suzuki bikes are really reliable...

[Dangerous Dave]

these Suzuki bikes are really reliable...
Yeap, if they are looked after they are very reliable. The problem is the SV is an ideal first bike, many new riders approach the maintenance and care in a similar way to a car. I have a bike here that has only ever been serviced, no replacement parts have been fitted due to failures (this includes the Reg/Rec).

I bought my SV650 Naked in October and it is a K7 have no problems with it and i think it is no different to the 2008.

Happy SVing :takeabow:

Not sure about price but mine was £3999 as it had a £400 cash back. When your rates were $2 to the £ then it would make the one you mention £2500 which is a steal, but then we live in RIP OFFFFF Britain.

offer him 4500, nothing to lose. Are these figures including all taxes?

That used price for 2007 sounds pretty close to the $5000 the bike is up for new (albeit 2007 model)...I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding that, I don't know what KBB is for example.

I'm not sure how bikes depreciate in the US compared to here, unfortunately.

But, I would try this :D

Am sorry, KBB stand for Kelly Blue book ( www.kbb.com ).

Is a book that keeps track of value of used vehicles every month.

For this month a used 2007 SV650 Naked on the US, assuming excellent conditions and low miles, has a value of $4620.

Now, the 2008 NEW MSRP sold for $6000, since this is a 2007 New, I am negotiating one grant off the MSRP value.

Like you guys said, since I am already pre-approve by my local bank, all I got to do now is find a bike that I like for the amount I was approved $6000 USD. I will offer them $4800 OTD and see what they say and we will go from there. For sure I will not pay anymore then $5200 for that bike.

A different dealer is selling me a new 2008 GSX 650 F for $6300 OTD, that is $700 USD below MSRP ($7000) and OTD total cost, but I must admit I do like the SV650 better and if I can get a similar deal interms of the savings I will preffer the SV650, but if that fails I will go with the 650F.

Hi, I don't know if it's a good deal or not but you could do worse than to ask on SVrider.com, it's a great US-based SV forum. Not as great as us, obviously ;) But still well worth a visit, and maybe they can help you track a bike down.

[dirtydishwasher]

Where is the US are you SVTEAL? I'm in Ontario, Canada, just bought a 2006 S for under 5K CDN. If you're close enough to the border you might want to check here. Lots of SV's in the market at very decent prices.

[davoracing]

$5000 here in the Us is a great price! I paid $7000 out the door for my SV650S7K that's with the 5 year extended warranty. The dealer would not lower the price because at the time the gas prices were high. But at $5000 it's a steal. It's a fun bike.
