How much should I sell my Ninja 250r for?

agalloch · April 10th, 2013, 06:04 PM

Nine pictures

INFORMATION

* 2,600 miles, just took it for maintenence (w/ proof)
* Two-brothers chrome exhaust
* Fender eliminator kit
* 10 red LEDs (from LED Glow) with remote control
* Proton Flushmount front turn-signals
* Pro-grip tank pad
* New battery (Shorai)
* Garage kept always

Only "damage" is some slight scratching on the front break (as seen in the picture). Otherwise, it's practically new, runs great.

What should I ask for it?

xSean13 · April 10th, 2013, 06:12 PM

Depends what the market for them is in your area.

$3600 is what I'd say, do you have the stock exhaust & stock signals?
Granted, that's the starting price, and you'll end up getting less.

If you have the stock exhaust, I would throw that back on and sell it separately.

Not sure what the market in PA is like, but I'd say ~$3,000.

agalloch · April 10th, 2013, 06:28 PM

Unfortunately, the stock exhaust and stock signals are completely gone.

menikmati · April 10th, 2013, 06:30 PM

Mods don't add any value to the bike, I would post it for ~$3,200 because people will ultimately offer you $3,000 or lower.

xSean13 · April 10th, 2013, 06:35 PM

I bought my 2010 with 137 miles on it for $3300, it had 2 cracked fairings, and I sold it 2 weeks ago for $3200, with the left fairing still cracked and 9k miles on it, and they let me keep the stock exhaust which I can get $75-$125 for.

It all depends on your area though.

I'd list it for at least $3600 to start out with maybe even a bit more, I live right near you and the market seems pretty high right now.

Looking at craigslist I think you should be able to get at least 3500 for it.

LEDs should add at least $500

if you need the $$ fast then price it low if you can wait then price it on the high end and see what happens

look for 35, but list it for 38

cbinker · April 11th, 2013, 09:15 AM

NADA suggest $3600 start around there.

massacremasses · April 11th, 2013, 09:24 AM

Ask 4. Always ask high.

alex.s · April 11th, 2013, 09:33 AM

$2900

Mods are, at best, no value added, and at worst, negative value. (for instance, I wouldn't buy a bike with that stuff, unless it was dirt cheap) With the 300 out now, you're also looking at not just a 3 year old bike, but the previous generation bike, which decreases value more than the years or mileage.

I just pulled up a craigslist ad for a like new '09 for $3250 OBO. He'll be lucky to get $3,000. I'm biased because I snatched up a new '08 when MSRP was $3,500, but I wouldn't even click on an ad asking $3,500+ for any year/condition 250R.
