2008 XB12SCG; $7,500 ; Los Angeles

[sound304]

Broke college student has finally caught up to me!!! I haven't even been able to ride her! But I now have to let her go. I bought it with the intentions of getting her running and using it as a daily driver. I got her fixed but there was some trouble with the papers and transferring the name, now all of that is sorted out but now I'm broke and need the money. I was able to ride her around the block a couple of times and was like new, well actually it is practically new since it only has 200 miles!!!!!! This is a practically new bike and hate to see her go. If you got any questions you can text me or call me or pm me.

Ohhhhhhh. Forgot to say, it's a salvage title and has a little rash on the side. Photos say everything. Still runs to the perfection.

I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you're going to get anywhere near your asking price, especially with a salvage title. I flirted with selling my 09 Scg with just under 5K miles, asking around what you are, and I had no offers near that.

 

[WALLSXB]

I'm with JustinMT on this one. Your going to be sitting on this for awhile with that price combined with the salvage tile and the damage. Bikes in excellent condition and a non salvage title can be had for $2500+ below your price. Not trying to be an ass here. [smirk]

 

[Sirius815]

Justin is right - you're asking way too much for that bike. There's non salvage low mile scg's popping up every now and again selling for under your asking price. My buddy just grabbed a 12scg with 98x miles on it for 5k!!

I think you're much better off keeping her and fixing the other few things slowly. You'll get some good use out of here and then a few years down the road you may possibly get 4-5K.

My 2009 XB12Scg, all stock, with just a hair over 1,200 miles on it, mint condition I got it for $7200.

Maybe I even paid too much for it, but it was EXACTLY what I wanted in a Buell.

OP - we're not trying to be asses about your price, it's just very unrealistic. Personally, my bike is worth a lot more than what people were offering me, maybe it's the same case for you too.

not sure on market pricing out in LA but here in the midwest that price is a little high. especially with that damage and salvage title, but good luck.

It's high for here in Los Angeles, too. Especially for a 5 year old bike with a salvage title and such significant rash. It would be more realistic to price it around $5000.

I know I live in Chicago but I bought a 2007 xb12ss with 9500 miles on it with no damage on it but it had a rebuilt title. Guy wanted $4000 I ended up paying $3500 for it. Title is now in my name from state of Illinois. Hope you get what you need but your asking price is a bit high. Take care best of luck with sale.

$7500.00 for what [confused]

 

[sound304]

Damn. I know. I thought the low mileage would make up for the slavage title and the rash it had. I never expected to sell it for the asking price, but it appears they go for lower than what I even expected. Thanks for the inputs you guys. I'll have to think this one through and see what I do with her.

 

[JustinMT]

Personally, I'd save what money you can and repair all the damaged parts that you have. It would be worth more to you to fix it, ride the hell out of it, and enjoy it. That's just my opinion, of course.
