Here she is, just need to cert and set up insurance and I'll be on the road by Wednesday.

The guy just had a kid and his wife didn't want him riding anymore so I was able to talk him down to $4000 on the dot and it needs nothing for safety. Also, it came with a rear stand, passenger seat cover and original passenger seat, two brothers full carbon exhaust including the stock...

So slight change of direction, I went to that dealer and offered the $4000 and the salesman gave me some sob story about how his daughter is in school and he has to pay for it and if he sold me the bike at that price, he'd lose his job...so as suggested, I left him my card with my offer but...

Hmm, I agree and this is a great point to bring up during haggling (stock being worth more)...I know this dealership knows their stuff, they've been around a long time and have a pretty good rep in my city, I should be able to reason with the salesman, also, printing out some kijiji ads isn't a...

Not a bad idea...I was planning on going with $4500 and start haggling at $4000 though I can't help but feel they'll basically laugh at me when I offer $4000. That said, I've become pretty informed over the past few weeks on the going price for these bikes and feel I could put up a decent...

I'd rather not have to travel to buy one, I want to be able to thoroughly inspect it before deciding and that's very difficult to do if it's 1000km away.

Yeah, neither would I that's why I was asking if anybody had an idea of how much dealers mark up their bikes to make room for negotiating because lets face it, who walks in to a used dealership and pays the asking price? I know they got it from the states so they probably payed bottom dollar for...

Yeah your km's way too high for me, I'm looking for something with around 20,000 or less.

How many km's?

Like the title says, I'm looking to buy a 2007 or newer fz6 (not fz6r) can be stock or moded, must be in excellent condition no drops with under 20,000km, willing to travel a reasonable distance from Toronto to pick up. Let me know what you've got and how much you want for it. Thanks.

Wow, great info from all of you, thanks. The dealer got the bike from the states so they probably paid next to nothing for it seeing as though you guys were getting them new for what they are asking... I don't think they will come down to $4000 but I guess I'll go in there with the cash and see...

I should mention that I'm in Canada if that affects price ... It's an 07

Hi I'm new here and I'm interested in an fz6 at a local used bike dealer. They've marked it at $6300 and it had a few upgrades like a two bros exhaust setup and after market wind screen. I'm wondering how much dealers usually mark up to adjust for negotiating and how much I should be able to...
