mummer43 Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I have a 2000 Banshee that probably has less than 50 hours on it and is in great shape and no one is interested in buying it. I had it on Ebay and there was no interest and I posted it here and no much is happening. I am asking $3500 or best offer and some of the offers have been ridiculous. I have 2k into it and I don't really want to let it go for a song. Is it really this hard to sell a Banshee? Does anyone have any advice?

islandsurfer Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 There are so many out there for sale already... Now everyone wants the "New and Improved"... There are still a few people out there who want a SHEE.... GOODLUCK...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee33 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 It seems everyone wants a 4 stroke, But you want to know the funny thing is that when I have my shee out I get all kinds of complaiments on it. It is a old school machine that works REALLY well. I have no plans at all to sell mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottt89 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I don't think it really matters what kind of money you have in it, unless it is a full blown race bike. I had a Z400 that I got in Nov 03, sold in Oct 04. Had a pipe, filter, Beadlocks. Only got 4k for it. Owed $800 more then I got for it. People don't want to pay big money for used quads. Its a fact. I wouldn't want to puy 3-3500 for a 2000. I could buy a new one for 6. They just don't have resale. There are too many of them. Now if you are trying to sell a Stock 250r or something, thats a different story. Don't mean to put you guys down or anything. Thats just my view.

broke Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Sell it as parts, I won't even pay $2500 for a well built one. But you can get quite a bit by parting them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broke Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 It depends if an extra $1000 or so is worth your time. My time isn't worth much, so it's worth it to me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just my view. 355438[/snapback] I don't think that this statement is totally true. Why would someone want to pay $6000.00 for a new bike that you need to go and invest another $2-3000 to make it a decent machine, when you can go out and spend $3-5000for a bike that has the basic work done,(piped, welded crank, Cool head, extra tires) Hell that's what I did a when I got mine, I looked for what had the most invested in it and that was going to need the least to have to clean it up. I think it's has more to do ith tax time, and also the fact that people are going to more 4 strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee~ Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 So I would be able to sell all the parts, even the stock ones? 355449[/snapback] Yea you can sell stock parts, let me know if your parting it out. Im looking for some nerf bars, billet water impeller, vforce2/3 reed cages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottt89 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) I don't think its even about getting a bike w/ mods for half the cost of new. I know for me personally, there is nothing like going to the dealership and pickup up YOUR bike. No one else has ridden this for you. Kind of like buying a new car. Ya know? Its more about making that bike yours. I know I will probably get blasted for this statment but, picking up a used bike can also be getting someone's headache. I know this is probably not true 90% of the time, but there are always a few floating around w/ info that the seller "Forgot" to tell you. As far as "What would you Pay for it then" that was posted above. Based on the first post in this thread. I would say for a 2000 w/ $1000 in mods, I know you wouldn't like this, but I don't think I would pay more then 3k. Because to me, I want to put my own pipes on there, I may want to use the bike for woods when you have some MX stuff on it. Everyone likes to make their own quad.
