Is this as good a deal as it appears to me? - Suzuki Volusia Forums : Intruder Volusia and Boulevard Forum

Vol4Life · 12-09-2012, 11:13 AM

2011 c50t
2900 miles
black, garaged and appears to be like new
$5995

I just bought my 01 Vol, and expected to keep it at least a year or two before trading up to newer bike, but this seems like a good potential buy. I know I can check NADA values but I thought those actively looking to buy/sell could give me real-world advice.

Thanks

Sounds awesome - no hiccups? no "oops, I downed it but I'm not gonna tell you that?" Bags? windshield? Pipes?
Sounds like a good deal.

No way I'd sell mine for that and I'm over 15k miles.

It's a Craigslist posting so, yeah, you never know. Appears to have OEM pipes; nice studded seat / bags (boulevard emblem on bags), shield, white walls, which I guess is the "t" in the c50t. I think I'll call the seller tomorrow as it looks really nice. Man, the wife is going to flip if I buy a 2nd bike in 4 months and at Christmas time.

Yours may be worth more to you in personal value, but on the open market, probably not worth much more.

Looks like a good deal - ask how it has been stored. I got a similar deal when I bought my '07 C50T as it had only 1800 miles on it - I paid $5000 in 2009.

Prices drop in the winter - I notice the "appears to be like new". Might be a pi$$ed off ex selling her guy's bike. I'm always a bit leery of too good to be true Craigslist adds.

Sounds like a very good deal. I actually saw that ad a week ago. Its the two tone Black/Silver. The pipes look to be Cobra Slash Downs. Otherwise looks to be all original. Good Luck

Take Cash and a trailer and I'll bet you get it for a lot less. This time of year prices are low.
If you can, hold on to your bike until spring to sell for more than you'll get now.
