Re: New bike - trade in?
 

simply put chris youve got a firm 1000 pound offer so your in the trade off senario
1/ part ex have bike and redused payments instantly ,no hastle with advertising, tyre kickers etc
2/ hold out "hopefully" get a few more hundred quid (is genrally true you get more cash private than trade) but have to advertise, deal with tyre kickers etc
if youve got the cash/can wait to sell go private, if you sit down and go mmmmmm part ex it and use the 33 extra quid on fuel :)

im sure you know all the above just be sure whats within your budget
and remember haggle like a barsteward for any extras even down to a full tank of gas

ps the white is tasty as feck ,but thats just my opinion (abite im always right just ask the wife lol)

If the trade-in offer is that close to the "potential" cash sale then I'd take it.

Re: New bike - trade in?
 

Yes,unless you can negotiate some discount for a cash purchase on the new bike,as in no trade in.If so that should be factored into the figures.

Re: New bike - trade in?
 

if your gona go private and sell bike for cash might as well buy second hand as well and save alot of money. But if you want a NEW bike from their show room might as well trade it in. But as you said you want a BRAND NEW one as you want to stick with the bike for a long time.

Thanks for the replies and the advice given. I found out today there is no stock until May. They had a black one in stock which is now sold. Quite surprised as its getting to start of 'season' and its a large multi-dealership. (Preston Superbikes). The GSX650F is only £600 more. I know a few members have gone that route. It`s not an SV though!
