'08 F650 book price

[Snapperuk]

I was offered £3000.00 trade in for my clean, low mileage 2008 F650 GS against another bike. The dealer told me this is the book price for this model. Was this a fair offer?

depends how you determin "fair", for a trader I would of said it was about right, might get a bit more somewhere else, but I wouldnt of thought much

Depending on what spec is on it,ive seen low mileage 2008 models on sale,between £5000/6000,so sell it private,take a look at the used prices on bike trader,or mcn,websites,bmws hold there value,for some reason.

its always interesting the"BOOK" price not knowing the details if it was a F800GS what would that be worth baring in mind theres only a basic 1K difference and the F650GS holds its money more.

depends on the bike your trading against is it a good deal, is the price from the same "book"


some things are relative and a fair deal! then theres that ripped off feeling

£3k sounds low to me whatever the spec, unless it's done a RTW in the time you've had it.

IIRC, I was offered about the same amount for a F650GS twin with 20,000 miles on the clock in a pretty rough condition, so no, that isn't a particularly good price.

Our local dealer looked up my 58 plate and according to the 'book' i shoul;d have done 6k miles in TOTAL..... the expected mileage for the globe busting 1200 was not far off... i laughed.... the salesman didnt...
