What do you all think a 07 with 60 miles is worth in an outright sale or a trade? The reason I am considering this is, I really, really like the black 08 - a lot. I did put a riser on it which may or may not go with it. Thank you.
I really like the black one myself. In fact, the only hesitation I had about buying my 07 was the color. I told her that if they made black the color for the US this year, I'd be pissed.
Well, of course they brought out black this year.
However, trading in a bike with 60 miles on it, you're going to lose a lot of money. You take a pretty big hit just getting the title in your name. I've heard that new 07s, what few are still around, are going for something in the upper 11000 range, he's going to have to sell a used 07 for less than that, and of course make a profit, so I'd be surprised if they offer you 9000 for it.
KBB trade in on it is 8100... probably a little low, but thats probably where the dealer will start.
So, if you trade it, you'd be paying several grand for the 60 miles you rode your bike. Not a good deal. And the thing is, if you ride that bike this summer and put a few-many thousand miles on it, that trade-in value isn't going to change much. So if I were you, I'd ride the bike this summer at least, and then see if the color grows on you. If it doesn't, you can look into either getting your 07 painted, or getting an 08 (and you may be able to get a leftover 08 next year at a much better price than they are selling for this year, or even a used one).
All in all, it's your money, if you do trade it in, I'm sure someone else will get an awesome deal on your used bike, but it seems to me like you're going to pay a lot of money for a paint job if you do.
