I've heard that the total cost of ownership is closer to the same that I originally thought in buying new vs. used., as long as you own the vehicle for a long time. Part of the reason is that you only 'realize' the depreciation loss when you actually sell the vehicle.
When my wife and I bought her scooter, we brought in printouts of the same bike from other dealers showing a lower price. We had done a lot of research. The most important thing is that you present yourself as a serious, educated buyer and you *really are* prepared to walk away if you can't get the deal that you want. That actually gives the buyer the upper hand. The dealer wants to sell you the bike, but if you aren't willing to buy it unless you get the right price, he will have to bend. We ended up saving like $600 on a $2500 bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
