Looking at 2012 RSS V-Twin - What's It Worth?

A little back story. I am speaking with a client who is a 2 wheel enthusiast and was telling him about my interest in the Spyder. He says my old neighbor has one he never rides I bet he would just about give it away. 2012 RSS with 3752 miles and a single owner. Obviously very lightly/under used. My experience is never good with that circumstance!! My client doesn't know if it runs etc. A couple of pictures are attached.

Comments and opinions are appreciated.

First, ask Him want He wants for it ..... I would make sure it runs, if not that's a hugh red flag ..... also if it's a manual trans , immed deduct $1200 ...... I had an 11 RSS and loved it .... also won a :firstplace: trophy with it at 2014 Spyderfest Drag races ..... good luck ... Mike :thumbup:

Looks like has SE5 tranny, Definitely check age of battery -even if will crank low voltage/ loose connections cause many code problems :lecturef_smilie:. Beginners info here:

I actually had that same model and color 2012 RSS. I loved it! I think the above comments have it covered. I see it has an aftermarket exhaust on it, but keep in mind that those are probably the original tires. That means you will need to be replacing them. For me, even if it is a SE5 (which I think it is), I would not be willing to go any higher than $9,000. I love the low milage, but that could be a curse as well as a blessing. There could be issues from sitting so long. I purchased mine in fall of 2016 with about 12k miles and I paid $8,000. I traded it in on my 2016 F3T and was allowed $9000 by IMotorsports and they listed it a couple of months later for $9995. Spyder prices are higher now, but for $9,000 or more, you can get a newer spyder.
