I do like this bike, and it won't be a hardship to run it for another year. But when I see a base 1299 with over 3 times the mileage advertised for £12k, I wonder what this is worth. 3k miles, and 7 months transferable Ducati approved warranty remaining. Plus the supplying Ducati dealer spent £2k prepping it.
What year? Where did the £2k go? Looks standard Its not difficult to look at dealer websites/eBay and ascertain the average Cheapest S on eBay is around £14k
2015. New dash, tyres, big service etc. £2K was the internal cost. I have the worksheet. £14.5k with the mileage and warranty is where I'd see it.
Then pay your subscription and put in the for sale ads Anyway it must be 2k less as it lives in first and second on the Rev limiter doesn’t it Service costs mean nothing for resale value in terms of adding to price. They attract more interest for sure and stop people trying to knock the price as much because it doesn’t need a £1000 service and tyres
Funny man, except it's not for sale. I think I'll call you Polly from now on, as you keep parroting the same old dross.
Anyway, base V4's with average mileage seem to start around £15k. Are the base V4 Showa forks as crappy as the base 1299 Marzocchi forks?
I can find a handful under 6k miles and under £14k from dealers. You might get that if trading up to something new and more expensive but you wouldnt get it private sale, or sale/return from a dealer after their cut. Maybe 13k that way if yer lucky. At the end if the day, its only worth what someone else will pay. A dealer would put my pani R up 19.5-20k I would expect. I would expect to be lucky to get 18 from them sale or return, and somewhere between 16 and 17 private sale if I wanted it to shift reasonably quickly.
You haven’t answered the question? I think they are ok, maybe a tad stiff as standard for road use. Most people just regurgitate whatever they read on whatever forum on the day.
It's just ticked over 3k miles. Do those bikes have the official Ducati Approved warranty, with a £15.5k limit, or the shite that wouldn't pay out, if for example the engine went tits up? I know which I'd prefer if I was looking for a 1299.
I didn't buy a bike with those forks, because everything I read suggested they required rebuilding/updating. And Ducati didn't use them on the V4 base model.
MTC would not rework the original forks on my base 1299 ( previous owner and guy at MTC told me ) because they are not worth it as they are not very good .. my base has 5k miles and Ohlins front carts and rear shock and I was thinking of asking £12k for it . ( still debating whether to sell ) Not sure how that stacks up against others for sale .
