just wanted to let fellow buell riders what a dealership in charlotte values our bikes at...

took my bike into MATTHEWS FUN MACHINES in matthews nc, the sister store to team charlotte, for a possible trade in on a dual sport (diffrent story and def retarded idea looking back) but the guy at the dealer ship said he would give me 800 dollars on a trade in value.....i told the man to give me my *bleeping* key......and left as i was walking out he goes i could maybe do 1000....i didnt even bother with a response....just thought id inform the community

What was he valuing $800?

 

[Theycallmecrash]

A blast? With engine issues, no plastics and a salvage title?

2004 xb12r clean title clean plastics, with 7200 miles on it [down][down][down][down]

haha wooow.......I'd have laughed in his face and said something offensive....

 

[fin28]

i looked at him and seriously thought he was kidding and waited for like 5 seconds and his facial expression never changed he was dead serious....and i got up and was like "give me my god damn key"

 

[iman501]

that is just sad!!!! you could make like 5 times that on craigslist!

 

[fin28]

Wow sounds like a shady place. Reminds me of the salesman that tried to start an argument with me because i said i wouldnt buy a used bike without test riding it. They said no one does so i laughed and said i must have been dreaming at the other 3 dealers I've test ridden at. He was still arguing as i put my helmet on and rode off.

good Lord! my response would have been......."so then you're going to discount the dual-sport 75%...correct? because you're offering me 25% of what research shows my 2004 XB12 to be worth." the little sales boy would be scratching his head over that one.
