Been looking at changing my Futura for a commuter (sitty up type) for blatting through the Glasgow jams, The dealers guff trade-in prices for high mileage doesn't really stand when you look at the price of the bikes they are selling. Was looking at a few different bikes and there was only £150 quid betwen 7k and 15k mile bikes. Last year i paid £4k for the Futura, same dealer offered me £2k for it with me only putting 750 miles on it, 14950 aint high for an 04 sport tourer.
He didn't like the reply i gave him.. You just want to make 1200 quid on my bike plus whatever you bumped the other owner for, Fork you springs to mind!

I would have thought the 4K was high rather than the 2K being low. Are bikes really that more expensive in Scotland?

Bike was priced slightly more than the likes in mags, happy to pay an extra few quid for local rather than having to sell private then travel to the far south to collect new one!
The Ducati 748 i had a few years back was bought from Coventry. Wasn't any for sale up here, and it cost .. a few quid to hire a van* and derv.

There's a few older Fut's in shops that I've seen recently all about £3k. Had a new trade offer of £2200, but at that price the power commander and screen will be whipped off and sold on ebay! Seen a bike I like.. so might just bite the bullet soon

(*Before anyone pulls the softy card out.. we were burried in snow when i bought it! Much the same as we were last week! )
