i have a red 2008 ninja 250r with ~250 mi on her. I'm in the tristate area. belmar nj/fairfield ct.

yes its still available
i havent really set my sights on a price... from what ive seen and heard it seems like $4500 is on the high side and $3500 is low. So maybe right in the middle of that. I'd rather you come check the bike out take her for a ride and if you like it then we can work a price. I'm more here to pass on a great beginner bike that served me well and get someone else on the road and on their way. But I would like to get a solid amount of change to put towards my new bike... a triumph bonneville haha. let me know what your thinking i'm pretty flexible. hit me up on email wm.russell.roberts@gmail.com |

If the timing were better I'd definitely be interested... I live in Bridgeport. But I need to zero out all debt before I buy a bike and I'm not there quite yet.
The thing is, paying new MSRP for a used bike (which is what you've suggest is "low") isn't something I'm all that interested in doing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 08 MSRP was $3499. However, the real, "reasonable" value of any item has nothing to do with arbitrary measures like original MSRP or expectations based on other sales. If someone will buy it, then you've got it priced right. If it doesn't sell, then you've got expectations that are too high. Just FYI... Kelly Blue Book suggested retail is here, and it's nowhere near MSRP: http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle/retail...ja-250r/232232 |

whatever works man... i'm not really too concerned with the cost. just wanna pass on a great beginner bike that treated me well and get a good amount of change to put towards my bonneville. frankly i dont know the market or want to get educated on it.
right now i'm just taking best offers and i have a guy coming to look at the bike on tuesday whose offer is 2900. if you wanna beat that price i'll be more than happy to move you to the top of the buyer list... email me as well. i can respond to emails a lot faster than having to log on here... http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/mcy/1218106588.html |

But again... that doesn't matter a bit. The right price is what the market will bear, no more, no less, and that is the end of the story. "Fairness" has nothing to do with it. If somebody's willing to pay well over MSRP for a used bike, that's great for the seller. If not, it just won't sell. Free markets in action. That's what always gets me about used stuff, especially on ebay. Sellers who think their item is worth a certain amount, failing to understand the simple maxim that it's worth no more than someone is willing to pay. People on both sides of the fence get needlessly worked up over this...buyers crying foul when someone posts an asking price that's too high, and sellers b*tching when all they get are "insultingly low" offers. |

And since the Ninja 250 is the ONLY model that Kawi sells out every year, and often BEFORE production ceases for that model year, there's no shortage of demand, which keeps the price (new and resale) on the high side.

Location location location! There is a reason I drove an hour North to buy mine instead of buying it from the dealer down the street...saved me $500.

the new is 09 this is an 08. you just can't compare it like that. eventhough it only has 250 miles you would still have to factor in 1 yr of depreciation. things lose value over time unless it's a collectible item. also, you can not factor in the tax and dmv fee cuz when the buy purchase the buy he/she will have to pay for them anyway. |

I also never said anything about tax and dmv fees...I said dealer fees...the ones around here all tack on high BS assembly fees, destination charges, etc. Its common place in my area. Hence why I traveled an hour to buy mine elsewhere. As far as depreciation goes...very low depreciation is common on the 250r. Its all going to depend on what they are going for in your area, the market, and demand.
