Is This A Bit On The Cheap Side

  1. 41K! Pay more if you like.

    Seems reasonable and realistic ish to me for a high mileage white frame ... dunno
     
  2. 41000 miles
     
  3. thought the white frame models were more desirable
    shows what i know lol
     
  4. Yeah they are generally, but, put it like this.

    How much would you pay for a 41k gold frame?

  5. It sold on eBay last week for 1750 on its 3rd listing by the vendor. He kept dropping the bin price from 2800 down to 1800. It's was discussed on another day thread on here recently. Whats wrong with it? The panels don't match. The graphics on the rhs is off a 92 model. The lhs graphics aren't quite right either. The mirrors should be red not black. There's a dent in the tank. It's been datatagged. Allow 1500 for an engine rebuild.
     
  6. friend just picked up a 98 600ss for £350

    at 41k miles you would need to factor in engine rebuild into the price
     
  7. Engine rebuild at 41k..? Are you sure?

    I think he was lucky to get £1750 for it, mind.
     
  8. I had mine rebuilt at 23k as we pulled the vertical cylinder off to check the oil gallery plug and sure enough it was almost out. Rich at Louigi Moto said the majority that he looks at have the same problem. I wouldn't buy another now without proof that it had been sorted or the price reflected the work needed.
     
  9. Wouldn't call an SS that old cheap at that price
     
  10. Buy it ride it, engine will be fine, people panic too much, you don't rebuild your car engine every 20,000 miles. Its been used which is better than sitting in the shed for years on end rotting away. The 49,000 mile one I've got here is in better nick than the 18,000 mile one. If id had the money I would have have bought it, to complete the set.
     
  11. Exactly right. Ducati engines are much sturdier than people give them credit for, they just need to be used rather than polished.

  12. well i really put the cat among the pigeons lol
     
  13. Is that a generic 'tabby' or pedigree cat, and what age and mileage?

    Ginger ones are faster :Cigar:
     
  14. ginger ones smell funny...

  15. ...must be laws about sniffing puss...
     
  16. just guidelines
     
  17. I see the seller has relisted it again, this time with bin of 1700.
     
  18. Seller is slowly realising he can't get what he wants, its only worth what someone will pay. Agree high mileage shouldn't scare folk off. My SS has 30k and my ST is over 50k. They are both running sweet.
