2016 Alpine White TE Value ?

But it can come into the equation if bought as a company bike, like mine so VAT recovered and will apply within the then selling price.

I don't think that the VAT can be recovered though on s/h bikes - just new and ex-demo models.

So I'll work on £12,500 on that basis.

Cheers all!

Should Nav 5, engine bars, driving lights and panniers be additional to the value or within it?

Shame u mentioned VAT, that's got nothing to do with the valuation, just a handy quote used in the trade when ur about to get your pants pulled down and disguise their profit margins.

i believe garages only pay VAT on the profit they make on a used bike / car sale - not VAT on the actual sale price. So if you sell / trade in at 5k - they sell it on for 6k only have to pay VAT on the 1K profit.

Agreed, I just don't think the vat argument holds any truth, the used price is the price, vat blended.

You might lose 20 percent but that's more the fact a used vehicle is worth less and the dealers want a grand or two profit in a sale.

A Range Rover Evoque 'doesn't lose the vat' after a week. It's just a case of supply and demand in terms of value imho.

As for selling the 2016 GS dirt cheap, don't do it. If u must then sell all extras privately. Pretty sure someone will bike ur hand off if priced right given a discounted one is £14k.

Is a simple way to get the pre VAT price divide the total by 6 and multipy this by 5?

Divide by 48 and times by 40.

Divide by 1.2. Doesn't get any easier than that.

(All the above equate to the same thing, but doing it in one step in this instance is easier, right?)

Once I can work out how to post photos, I'll put her in the for sale section ahortly.

Cheers all!

Drop the 20% VAT off the cost of a new bike then deduct £0.20p per mile for each mile covered

£0.10p per mile is what dealer deduct when you finance the bike and return it with higher milage.
