Opinions from all solicited.
I'm hung up between two possible deals to replace my 98 Magna which sold yesterday (9 Nov).
I have two possible deals hanging in the fire waiting for me to choose and give the go ahead.
Deal 1:
97 Valkyrie DECKED OUT TO THE EXTREME, if it's brite and shiny, this baby has it mounted. 51K miles, excellent condition. Seller is a good bit OVER NADA retail and won't budge. He's asking and will eventually get $7500, it's that nice. Add TT&L and the total comes to: Approx: $8000. Bike is in Houston.
03 ST1300A bone stock, 15K miles, all recalls done, excellent condition. Seller is UNDER NADA slightly, has budged $600 in last two days, says out the door: $9600 flat... that's it...... Bike is in Houston
Now, my question: Without consideration of the difference in a power cruiser and a Sport Touring ride... just considering the numbers, age, miles, potential for depreciation, etc. ... all the logical and rational things with no emotionally based preference.... WHICH DO YOU THINK IS THE BETTER DEAL?
I'm leaning one way, but won't say because I don't want my lean to influence what anyone wishes to contribute to the decision process.
