Crap Residuals

[sijohnston]

I was down with my mate who owns a Ducati and Yamaha dealership in Ballymoney yesterday, and grabbed the Glass' Guide. So our 2008 800's are booking at £4500 and £4000 if like mine, you've over 20k on it! Slightly disappointing compared to the less reliable bigger boxers. He's just had a 2006southern 1200GSA traded in with 4000kms on it. Costing him £7000.

I suppose I don't care too much, as I'm riding this until I run out of road, it, or I die, whichever comes first!

Keeping my F8GS-08 till 2012.

£4000 to £4500 yet the 800 starts from £5900 upwards on the m*n website.

1 cheapest bike £5900 with 6000 to 7000 miles on and money for panniers etc.

Yellow is a good colour, i have seen a few good deals going with people selling their 800's with "bling". Back in Feb, South London BMW had their demo 800 with bling and panniers for a little over £7000. I was nuts not to take it...landed up buying a new one in March, eish!

Looking back at it, i maybe should have gone for the cheaper option then having cash for extra's.

 

[Greggers]

Are there no more ex ORS bikes anywhere then?

It might be worth a call to Vines perhaps..

[jolyon_russ]

The Off Road Skills bikes will be with Vines soon, they'll be up on their website or you can give them a call and someone in sales will be able to tell you when.

Edit to add: I don't plan on getting rid of mine any time soon, I'm aiming for 100,000 miles, it seems rude to not use that extra digit on the dash ;-)

 

[Gs-ell]

heres a fully loaded one, pretty reasonable too

[gr8mate]

[Uinneag]

Motorrad quoted me on the glass's guide for an 800s as the GS was too new
£4500 with 3k on it and FBMSH 10mnths old

Guess what I sold it private. £7k

Tash's 05 650gs 5k on it £1800 trade in was quoted when there was an 04 in the shop with 10k not the best of nick for £4200 when pointed out I was told it was priced not to sell

£3500 private for the 650

That's hy they have big fancy showrooms

LOL

 

[Big Den]

just remind the dealer its a "guide" not gospel, they want yours at bottom book and sell you a new one at full list, that what pays for the fancy showroom

 

[steforsh]

i had mine advertised in mcn for about 5 weeks. 18 mth old ABS/grips/new tyres/just had 6000m service/centre stand/computor. started it at £6700 and continually dropped it to £5700 ( it's no longer for sale. this is not a cheeky ad ) and i had not one phone call. not one. and there's a lot like it.
if i was buying now i would buy one like mine with the six thou service under it's belt with at least six months bmw warrenty left.
i recon you could get sorted with a good'en for 5 and a half grand.

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

F800GS's were the flavour of 2008

However they are not the flavour of 2009 and BMW dealers have struggled to sell their allocations in 2009....................after a complete sell-out in 2008

They are not so popular in 2009

In reply to gr8mate's question, I bought Woolaston Northampton's demonstrator as they couldn't find a grey 800 in August secondhand (a dealer in Peterborough has a yellow one same spec and price).

So I bought a 2mth old 2.5k bike for £7k (which is the list price) however it came with ABS, heated grips, computer, centre stand, back rack, LED indicators and rear lamp, AND I then had the tall screen fitted FOC!

I know the ABS = £800, Grips £196, Stand £90, LEDS £76, Rack £46, Screen £245 plus the trip computer. So that's £1453 worth of extras plus the Trip computer. And they start the warrenty from when you buy it, so I was quite please with the deal really.

Now they are not so much in vogue I would love to know what sort of deal you can now get on a new one!!??!!

 

[gr8mate]

for a new 2009 in grey comfort pack fitted best deal for me is £7500
and £500 voucher after phoning around

 

[marcusfordus]

[paramaniac]

Ah, I thought it might be for roadside snackwagons for when the effing thing lets you down repeatedly.

Mine's gone & I'm back to Jap.

 

[marcusfordus]

7.5K

Is that an ABS equipped one for seven and a half ?
