Big price reduction on 87 Aspencade
imported post
I have been looking at an 87 Aspencade at the local dealer. They started out asking $3700. It has 57000 miles on it and looks to be in excellent condition. I looked at it again today and now they want $2500. Any ideas why they took $1200 off of the price? It has been there awhile, but that seems like an awfully large price reduction. I dont know how it is mechanically, but it is in beautiful shape cosmetically. Any ideas?

Well to me 3700 is a bit high but just my opinion.
2500 is more in the price range.
Dont be scared of it because of the price drop.
Go buy it if you want it.

They need to move it. Not unusual if something sits for a long time. If it runs good, don't shy from it just because of that.

They will pay tax on it as inventory, may need cash flow, and I agree that end of season is coming for most areas... and if it was a trade-in, probably have very little cost in it as well. Have been in retail too many years. you mark it up so can give a big discount, or put it on sale...right but not without some profit. Any warranty, probably not?? Sales nationwide have been slow, so even a small profit is better than no profit..

I'd offer them $2,000.00. No loss to you. You already own a wing. Did this with the new car for my wife and the dealer called me three times the next day and we got her new car at our asking price. Worth a try. If they want to sell it bad enough they will call you.

Very likely the bike's on consignment and the owner either wants some cash or realizes that winter's coming and it's not going to sell until next spring.

First off I sold my 1984 Aspencade for $3500.00 the Kelly blue book on my bike was $3400.00 I just had two guys who both wanted the bike at the same time . So first go to kbb.com look up the price of the bike I live where we always have riding weather :cooldj:
Then offer them $2000.00 and let them think. Befor you buy it look close at the forks for no pits look under the faring at them . Ask if you can take it to a mechaic to look at it befor you buy it or take him with you offer him lunch or $ to look at it . Then buy the bike it is a good deal . Rember to look at the fork forbpits. It might mean the diffarnce in changing the fork seals.

Not surprising to see prices dropping.
I always keep an eye on the local craigs list and kijiji. There are some bargains out there. Unfortunately my garage is already full.
