I was offered what is supposed to be a deal on a Scrambler. I've been out of the street bike thing for a while but was wondering what they're typically worth? It has some crash guards added. Input appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback and all good info. The bike only has 3k miles on it very low. Was running but has been sitting for a couple of years. Tank is off and drained but would still expect some work to be done because of it sitting.
Folks always have different opinions on what a "deal" is. I would agree on a deal being in the $3500 range or slightly more.
Most non-running bikes will usually be a complete gamble. It might fire right up after reassembly or you might have to spend hundreds, even thousands of bucks more (not to mention long hours of wrenching time). If the reasons for the bike being dead are supposedly simple fixes, yet the seller hasn't gotten it running prior to attempting a sale, that's a potential red flag to me. So unless you really know and trust this person, I would proceed with some measure of caution.
Lastly, in the case of rolling the dice on a comatose bike, I would throw all book and fair market estimates out the window and attempt to negotiate a rock-bottom price. Continued best wishes.
Folks use KBB and NADA as a guide. But that's dealer pricing with all the overhead, refurb, make-ready and profit built in.
