Dealer overpricing gone mad - expensive Curvy.
Just seen this curvy on Fleabay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-SV6...item4d0363031a Two and a half grand for a curvy???  Now obviously I love a curvy as much as the next person but that's taking the mick. Somehow I think they may have that bike for a while... Last edited by Pricey12; 04-04-13 at 02:52 PM. |

Re: Dealer overpricing gone mad
That's bizarre. Surely they know that it's about a grand over priced. You'd think they would drop it to a reasonable level to shift the bike on.

Re: Dealer overpricing gone mad
I've seen Curvy's at similar prices on Ebay dealer sites.
You might get some mug who doesn't do their research, or wants peace of mind by buying from a dealer. Warranty is extra though

Re: Dealer overpricing gone mad
Its done 13k aswel. If it had done about 100 id perhaps understand, a little bit.
Am i right in thinking curvys were £4200 new? (That figure springs to mind anyway). Thats only £1700 less than its new price, and its 11 years old lol. Might be there for a few more years me thinks |

Re: Dealer overpricing gone mad
I can kind of understand dealers doing it with some bikes. Have a look at some of the original shape Ducati Monsters for example. Bikes that cost around £5000 a few years ago (620's, 695's, etc) are still being sold for three and a half grand when in reality they are worth a fair bit less.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-DUCAT...item27d0e4c0f8 May be a special edition, but it ain't worth 3.5k. Your paying two and a half grand for the bike and a grand for the Ducati name. Part of the reason I love my SV is the fact that it is a lot of bike for the money. For the money that dealer is asking for the SV I'd expect it it to be gold plated!

Re: Dealer overpricing gone mad - expensive Curvy.
Maybe the bike owes them too much and they can't reduce it?

Often dealers keep really expensive used bikes in the showroom to make new ones look like a bargain,and if they stick there for ages it doesnt matter if new sales keep up.
