Why even bother?
I can get that much off (and more) a brand new bike without a trade-in, give the "trade-in" to my brother and come out ahead financially.
At KBB for your bike, I get a $2525.00 trade-in in good condition, and $3700.00 retail, in excellent condition.
Don't get ripped off.
Yeah, I tried telling that to the local dealer. He told me $900. Clearly, they have no reason to want this bike. I'd also guess they get plenty of customers who take such deals.
From their point of view, I guess it's worth it to behave this way. They just don't have me as a customer.
