On my search for my first bike i found a fz-6 07 with 11k miles. The dealer is asking $4999 for it. On Ebay i found brand new 09s going for the same price, so im wondering should i do some price negotiating with the salesman?
The price is right?

I bought my 07 for $3200 with 9k miles, so Im not sure how different the economies are, but It seems high to me!

If it is at a dealer, the bike was looked over, but with that kind of miles you could try to talk them down, are there any after market parts on it?

Aske the dealer do you get any warrenty, or first service free at that price. Also usually dealers add on a few bucks so they can offer you "free" gear if your a first time rider. Tell him/her you don't need any gear and you want a reduction in price.
I got my first bike from a dealer (second hand CBR250RR) and got 6 months warrenty with it. Free gloves and helmet and 1/2 price jacket.
Always worth trying to beat down the price. Sure worst thing that can happen is he says no.
Good luck:thumbup:

Only those protector knobs for when you lay the bike down, besides that nothing else.

07' with 2400 miles bought here on the forum for $3900, the price is WAY too high.
If you click onto this thread, and review the recent post rather than the earlier ones, it will give you an idea of what others have paid recently, new and used.

I just picked up a '09 with 6500 miles on it for $1500 private party sale. Way, way, way, way, way too high. Don't buy used bikes from dealers.

To argue for the dealers price - they are putting their reputation behind the thing, you are paying for their knowledge and expertise, as opposed to buying privately at your own risk. Chances are its a good machine. If your dealer sells junk, then they soon won't be... I suggest researching the dealers rep for the answer.
To argue the fact the the price seems high - such is commerce. To bargan respectfully to a fair price is totally expected... If they choose not to play the game, then there is a subtle hint there somewhere... The game is on, and the ball is in your court. In no way are you obligated. Financial darwinism at its finest.
Isn't it fun?

I just bought a 2008 FZ6 wth 6500 miles from a dealer for $3500 out the door. I would try and bring that price down some. You could keep looking and find a much better deal.

Bought my 2005 with 8k miles two years ago for 3800$. It was listed at 4500$. I also negotiated in free first service, discount card for merchandise, and a new set of spark plugs.

This thread makes me feel like I stole mine :don'tknow:
Bought my new 2009 in Nov from the dealer with 3.3 miles on it for just $4999! (Of course it was listed at $7500, but I'm no chump)
Also had them throw in the Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S) for an additional 5 yrs of service beyond the dealers 1 yr.
So yeah man, I'd say get that price down a good amount (~2k) or go elsewhere.

The dealer only offered to knock off 200 due to the fact they only added new tires and a tuneup ect, which they ball parked 400 bucks... So even 4800 is still to much?
Remember, most of the prices that other members have quoted you are OTD prices. Meaning that's the total price, including tax. Is that $4,800 plus tax? Whether it's with or without tax, it's too high.
I would pass, be patient, there are much better deals out there, I know, because I see it posted here on this forum all the time. But if you want it really bad, then go ahead and buy it.

Not even including taxes... It was going to be my first bike and my parents my have talked me out of it this season. Another thing i'm noticing that bikes down south where i live now is alot higher than bikes back up north and taxes are cheaper too. Arkansas want's 9%, Michigan 6%

Does anyone smell blue?
I picked up my 08' in 2010 for about 4,500 (after tax) with a 6 month warranty and it only had 4k on it. go for the 09'!
