How much is it worth?

[Mickywatch]

Hi
I have a 2016 Rt Special Series with 12,000 miles and just over 5k in sparkles. . I love my Ryde but need to sell. It’s been garage kept and professionally maintained. Just had 3 new tires installed. It’s in near perfect condition. Can anyone tell me what I might be able to get for it..... I can go to NADA but I don’t know how to factor in the extras.

Your best bet is to remove as much as you can of the extras and sell them separate from the Spyder

You will never get close to what you think you should get and be better of selling the extras.

How much would a dealer give you for the Spyder? Then add 2 to 4 k on that. You wont get anything for the farkles just the Bike price.

Do be aware that the number and value of farkles is in the eye of the potential buyer not the dollar value assigned by the seller. Tri-Axis bars, sway bar & links, GPS and Ultimate seat carry far more weight IMO, than all the rest of your list.

I agree with Jay. You'd be lucky to get $.50 on the dollar for your extras. It would be more profitable to take the extras that can be removed easily and sell them here on Spyderlovers in the 4 sale section. The extras on the bike are only worth something if the buyer really wanted those things on the bike in the first place. I've had pretty good success selling some items that I took off a Spyder when I traded it in. So good luck in selling your goodies and Spyder.

I sold my 15 RTS last July with 20 k miles on it for 16,000 and it had well over 3k in extras alot of the same things you have. You have 8k less miles. Being a year later yours is like mine. 3 years old. You may get 17,000 with the extras. It's work to sell the accessories and cost of shipping is very pricey. Plus low ball offers. I didn't want to take the time and effort doing that. You could take some of the small things off and sell them. Shipping isn't bad for little stuff.

the question is so old and simple that I'm surprised you asked it.
It is only worth what the MARKET WILL PAY.
oh, and you might as well kiss the money spent on farkles goodbye.

Thank you! I appreciate the insight!

Thank you! I appreciate the insight! I was thinking of removing some to sell separately.

HOLY COW that's a lot of farkles!

Just over $5,000. In Farkles. If I was in the market for a bike and saw that, I would look at the statement in Perfect condition and think the same thing. It could be true but Five Thousands sounds like b's so pass.

Sad to say, the farkles are worth .50 on the dollar to nothing. They can add or detract from the sale. I had two early GS and RS with over $6K in farkles each on them. They were decked out like a full blown RT--a year before its intro.

I paid 15,999 for the 08 GS, put on $6K farkles in one year. Sold it for $15,300 in 2010 when bought a Premier Edition RTS.

Jay Bros is right on with some of his suggestions.

Wishing you good luck with the sale.

Blue book pricing somewhere between wholesale and dealer retail will most likely be the magic price.

An ad with 500 looks and no bites, indicates price too high.

check both NADA and Kelly Blue Book and make sure to enter the area you are in to see the value around you. You can check e-bay motors and craigs list as well as dealers in your area selling similar rydes to get a full picture. Removing the sparkles is double edged as you may lower the interest increase the cost of the sparkles to you if you don't do it your self and still not be able to sell them... things to consider.

Thanks!! That’s the type of info I was looking for. I am going back and forth on selling her. When I purchased all the extras, it was with intent to keep her for years to come. Had to list everything out for the insurance coverage and I have receipts for most everything and was surprised myself at the total. I know you lose money on the add ons but most items are for safety and handling (and should be included at the factory) like extra lights, sway bar and belt tensioner. Of course some are for comfort like the Ultimate Seat and Adjustable Handlebars. I appreciate giving me some tips!!

Just sold my 2016 RTS with lots of Farkles in Canada for $19500. Thats my bike that Raprider is referring to in the above post. Only had one person really interested but it worked out. So best of luck. I enjoyed the bike but when its time to sell for me I just want it done. The trade in value for a new Spyder here in Canada was around $19,000.
