2014 RT Limited Cognac value?

[southjerseyrider]

I have a 2014 RTL Cognac w/ heated seat, sway bar, hiway pegs and a few other accessories. Only 4,000miles. I'm going to be putting it up for sale, what do you think is a "fair" (to buyer and seller) value to ask?

I recently bought a similarly equipped identical year and model for $18,250 and drove to Alabama on my own dime to do so. That's just me, but I hope that helps. Thanks for the question; it should generate a lively discussion!

how did you pay the guy? I'm a little nervous about method of payment. Was it private seller? Thanks for answering.

I brought a cashier's check with me and exchanged it for the title once I'd checked the bike over and test-drove it. It was someone on this forum. I have since bought a comfort seat from someone else on this forum; he graciously sent me the seat trusting me to send him payment once I received and was happy with it.

So far, I've had nothing but good experiences buying from forum members. But, then again, I've been on the forum for awhile, have gotten to know some people and found it useful to research their forum post history to get a sense of what they're all about.

My dealer gave me 20K for mine...

Yeah, but you're his insurance agent ...

[Bob Denman]

No; I'm not...
I'm gonna have to ask him why .

That's a really, really, really good price Bob. That's $75 higher than kbb retail blue book. You did good.

That's why I'm sitting here: looking out the window...

NADA low retail is about $14,000 and high retail is about $18,500 for NJ and not counting the farkles. I would say start at $16,500 and expect to come down a little during negotiation. I bought my 2014 RTS in Seattle in December 2015 for $18,000.

Bob, you must be paying full MSRP minus the $20k trade-in!

[southjerseyrider]

thanks for all the advice. I sold it for $17,500 to a very nice retired gentlemen who said it was just what he wanted.

[Bob Denman]

I'm glad to hear that you found a good home for it!
(Did you tell him about us? )

You did better than I thought you would. That's great! It's encouragement that used Spyder prices may not be tanking altogether after all!

You did much better than some others have been trending of late. on your quick sale.

I know I got lucky. He specifically wanted Cognac and there aren't that many RTLs around with low mileage.
