I'm bored...

[He Man]

are you trying to say i should buy one of em? cause they are all over 1,000+ miles from me...one of them even has 30,000 miles, and most of them are over a month old.

Actually emailed one of them in Minneapolis (uship price is about$800 to ship it to me). but with unlisted mileage.


if you're really that bored, go take a look at it for me and ride it half way to me in this weather.

Give these guys a call.

www.keyboardmotorcycleshipping.com

They seem to have reasonable shipping rates.

This one's above your mentioned price range, but it's only the 2nd one I found used in NY.  It's in Long Island.

Im trying to avoid stealerships. Most dealers in the city are SCUM.

I did contact the guy in new rochelle a few weeks back. never heard from him. ( i txted him)

i found this one http://newjersey.craigslist.org/sno/4302419018.html

BUT, the dude txted me back with pics and the tank probably has a scratch or missing splotch of paint every 2 inches, the poor pics looks like the rims dented in several places, and the fork protectors are missing chunks, but he swears its never been down or abused.

If someone wants to sell something, you'd think they do the best effort to sell it.

I know I'm just complaint now, but I'm sharing cause its just funny at this point. I found a nice clean one about 6 hr drive. Had a nice chat via txt, then when I asked for more pics cause I'm not too local, they decided that they don't want to sell the bike to someone from another state. Really???

I don't believe you mentioned how far you're willing to travel to get the one you want. I like to use www.searchtempest.com to search craigslist because it starts with the closest listings to your zip, then expands from there. Maybe you should try for your area.

Personally I don't think I'd sell a pristine, stock, DR650 with 10,000 miles for less than $3000.

I wish I had the time and money on my hands to take you up on the offer of meeting halfway, that would be great.

I found a few on ebay...   this one isnt bad...

but you're not gonna like the prices or the shipping costs

Im willing to travel up to 6 hours to haul one away.

Prestine 10k@ $3000 is perfect. I was looking at 2800 for something wasnt prestine.

One guy said his was perfectly maintained, saw some pics, chain was kinked rusted, rims bent, fork covers torn up, engine had sand and dust all over it, and it only had 2500 miles? yea ok. wouldnt go lower than 2800 (and i would spend over $300 in gas and tolls to go get it).

Its all relative in the end.

i do use searchtempest.com ( i put range at 400 miles and search DR650 and DR 650). Also use bikefinds.com

I found one on adv rider in Charleston SC. (http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=948159)

I also checked out some uship bids from Greensboro NC, about $350+ uship fees will get er up to me.

Anyone in Charleston able to take a look at a bike for me? ( PMed the guy but havent gotten a response yet).

adv rider has a really nicely set up 2005 with lower miles, but theres a 3rd gear issue that i just want to stay away from. Its supposely fixed in 2006+

If i buy from a dealer am i required to pay their local tax? (im assuming no since the DMV is the one charging the tax).

If i buy from a private seller i can avoid the $400 tax for a $4000 bike, which means im willing to get the bike shipped and get a better deal.

No

Sales tax is paid in the state where you reside at time of registration and is calculated based on the selling price on the invoice or bill of sale. They "could" hit you for a temp plate..., but not if you show up with a truck.

The dealer can usually calculate the tax where you live and send the payment to them, or you could do it yourself.
