So much for this bike holding it's value! As I tried to explain to a few people here, No bikes hold their value.. especially in a poor economy.
wOrM told me in a different thread that I will not be able to find a CBR next spring for less than $3500. He based this price on the fact that some dealer somewhere apparently paid $3500 for a used CBR on trade. I attempted to explain to wOrm that a trade in value has nothing to do with a private sale value.. that a trade in price is often inflated and added into the cost of the new vehicle you are trading for.... He did'nt get it.. but enough of that.
Based on this latest auction I have revised my earlier estimate. I had originally hoped to purchase a used CBR250r for about $2500 next spring. wOrm said I was wrong and nuts and did'nt know what I was talking about even though I never declared a fact which could be disputed.. I simply stated that I expected to spend around $2500 on a CBR next spring... but again wOrm couldn't seem to grasp the notion, He kept telling me I was "wrong". At any rate. I now expect to pay closer to $2000 for a used CBR250r next spring.
Here is the link $2800.
