Does this sound right...

[GS Bloke]

My local dealer has an 05 1200GS.
20k miles
3 boxes
ABS
Grips
Engine bars

They are asking £7500.
I have put down a deposit subject to test ride etc,
Does this price sound right for this spec?

Seems steep to me. CW has a couple in for less than that.

Yes the extras are worthwhile but I'd look around a bit more first. I'd expect that to be under 7k.

friend of mine traded an 05 gs in with all boxes but no abs with 11000 miles
dealer gave him 6250 for it. and that was loaded as there was no discount on the new one. so as with previous post - sounds a bit expensive. check what warranty you are getting as its out of official bmw warranty being an 05
an additional warranty will cost you circa £700

Comes with 12m BM warranty

unless you are trading in 7k tops
Try ringing Steve at Wollastons, he is generally a good guy
or alternatively try and get something thrown in .

I may be trading in.

Trading in or not it's still steep.

Have you discussed with them what difference there's going to be between trading in or not?

 

[GS Bloke]

who is CW?

CW Motorcycles in Dorchester.

Their website is www.cwmotorcycles.co.uk

A long way away for you BUT they're V good and will help you get what you want. They're not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps.

Damn those GSs sell quickly...

Hey ho. It may be having a word with them as they're pretty good at helping you find what you're after.
