Depending on area and buyer 3-8k

It looks like its got a few dings on the front fender, but nothing too serious. If everything mechanical is in good order, I would start the price at $7000 and put a nice big "OBO" behind it. I bought mine with some mechanical issues for $3700 (still drivable) and with about 114k on the ODO. But if anyone is interested in buying an MSP, they will contact you and make an offer.

Realistically, I think you will be able to pull $5.5k of it, but that is if everything mechanical is in good order and no MAJOR rust issues. Make sure you list it a bit higher than what you want to get off it. People usually offer 10-20% less than the asking price IMO. Hope that helps!

you guys are great thank you and yea mechanicaly it runs awsome minus needing a little tune and the rear bushings squeek (imagine that) lol and yea that dent in the front fender is the only major blemish on it i actually had an estimate done at one of the expencive body shops in town and he quoted me 1600 to make it look like new and thats including new door seals just cause im picky lol. and the interior looks like it probably did when it rolled off the lot minus a tiny bit of discoloration on the steering wheel at 10 and 2 from driving it. like i said though not wanting to sell it at the moment just curious ince i did some day decide my pation for motocross out weighed my love for cars but a new bikes alittl over 6k

Do as I did, buy a 2012 Usedish KTM for $2k cheaper than MSRP. I love the bike as well, and it came with a title

 

[bullwishes]

lol sounds good but my boss wouldnt like that since im a mechanic at a suzuki dealer lol but yea ktms are sweet

 

[callphy]

3.5-4k private sale, 6.5-7k dealer, as canadian price atm

 

[callphy]

didnt suzuki quite american automobile market? still keep the service department?

i was thinking maybe suzuki would transfer the warranty to nissan or mitsubishi blahblah

 

[Chad92]

Yezzir (weakest). Many cars that suzuki sold previous to 2004, were rebadged GM vehicles, so I suspect a GM dealer could take a crack at it. As far as the new vehicles like the Kizashi, who knows... which sucks cuz those cars were crackin mid-size sedans.

Bullwishes, I think it may be in your best interest to work at a different dealer than suzuki, or move to japan to work for suzuki. They are doing very well across the pond and everywhere else, just not here... And anyways, I have never heard anyone get excited about or tell their mates with enthusiasm about a suzuki purchase. As far as your boss goes, you could get the earliest 250f kawasaki made, as they were almost the same exact bike (detect)

suzuki didnt do very well on marketing i guess

but canadian still like suzuki Aerio 4wd very much. they are cheapass good car for cold weather.


my area dealer just start the sale last week, crossover iawd JLX priced at 16k + tax

find kizashi suck ball , only because it doesnt offer manual awd sport edition anymore after 2011 (it could share a piece cake with subaru or mitsubishi, if succeed in this area)

thinking about getting a crossover iawd manual JX (should be a good rally car at this superb price)

yea but if you research the 2013 rmz 250 and rmz 450s you would notice they are actually awsome now as suzuki has stopped the car market in america because it wasnt doing as well as the bike market in america and they have invested a ton of time money and resources into revamping the rmzs and they actually scored extremely well in all the magazine shootouts and i dont know if you watch much supercross or not but generaly you dont decide on the bike you want to buy from how well they do in ama supercss bcause well lets face it your not gonna get your hands on a single part ryan villopoto runs on his bike as nothing on his bike is available to the public but davy milsaps until he got sick AND hurt was in the points lead by a big margine and you can buy that exact bike off the show room floor and the pipe and suspention he runs as its a privateer team so suzuki would really suprize you with the effort they put in there bikes now but i dont say that just because i work at a dealership as im sure no one on here would ever be close enough to buy a bike from our store but as a big fan and research ive seen sorry if any of that seemed rude or snobish not trying to jsut having a hard time finding a way to word it that dont sound like im trying to say anyones wrong as i am a huge kawasaki fan my last bike before i started work here was an 08 kx250f i absolutely loved and wish with all my might i still had lol sorry for the big book yall i suffer from some bad disabilities i take pain meds for and they make me hyper and ramle but they make the pain very managable (obviously since i can still race motocross lol)

Don't get me wrong about Suzuki bikes, they are great and I believe that they were the first to slap some EFI onto their MX bike. But, when have you heard somebody talking about going to a Zuki dealership to buy a bike? I honestly would not buy a Zuki, as they simply do not have the resale value, nor do they have the recognition of any other current bike manufacture. The only time people recognized the RMZ/RM bikes was when the Ricky chap was on the Makita bike, and unfortunately that time is completely lost in the past. If I had $7k to spend on a bike, It would go toward a KTM as they are the premiere bike to own (like I already did). Although, I would never buy one new, and I would for sure choose a 4-stroker rather than the smokey chatter-box I currently ride. I guess the question I have for people is Why buy a new bike for $6-9k when you could buy a very newish second hand bike for $2-3k cheaper???
