Buying From Dealer

[D1983]

Hi

Im looking at a 2006 DRZ SM in good condition with low mileage for £2999

How much should I expect to get off the price?
I know its a bit like 'how long is a piece of string'....but i've not purchased from a dealership before,just wondering how much movement on the price there would be

It really is a 'piece of string' thing I'm afraid - some dealers offer realistic prices but won't bargain, others offer silly prices and won't move either.
Also depends on the room in their show room, if they've got to have a certain number of sales by the end of the month etc.

I could swear that you could get a brand new DRZ-SM for that kinda price in 06/07, so personally I'd be wanting quite a bit off, but generally I'm not a fan of dealers.

From a dealer that seems like a pretty decent price: Saltaire Suzuki were selling a 2008 drzsm for £3295 with about 3k. I think that was pretty extortionate.

Someone was selling an 05, 3k miles, for £2500 - this bike was spotless and had been well looked after.

The best thing you can do is keep checking biketrader/ebay etc and you can roughly work out prices. Then offer a price based on that.

If the 06 you wanted had a decent aftermarket exhaust, tailtidy etc then I think it would be worth it.

Hi

The bike is completely standard,I suppose il offer around £2,800 or maybe less....
Thing is some dealers will only knock £50 off Stingy or what,in times like these you would think they would be eager to make a sale

DRZ's seem to hold there value and the dealers probably know they are good sellers,at least theres plenty to choose from

go private it will be a lot cheaper.

for 3000 you could get an 06 ktm 640 or husky 610sm.

easy choice

if you cant buy it privatly so have to go to a dealer (finance) then you might not get any money off so instead try to blag an exhaust and a keihn FCR carb for it along with the 3x3 mod + other bits will have the power it was meant to have

Also get on supermotojunkie.com the americans absolutely love them
