Uh, that's not a bike for $5k. That's a bike for $9k. Plus how are you going to trade if the car still has a lien on it? Makes no sense, this does.Morning Monkeys.
Rain all week, yay. Have a guy who really wants to sell me a motorcycle he has. I told him the bank wasn't happy with the idea of a car loan and a bike loan and would have to wait until I sold the car. Now he's decided he wants to do a trade. Not sure if I should, but might entertain the thought.
Car value = about $10k (willing to take $9k)
Bike value = about $9k (have gone on ebay for $7500)
The original idea was sell the car (owe about $5k) and use the cash as down on a $7k leaving only a few grand plus mods. If I straight trade, it's still a damn good deal for a $9k bike for $5k. Only problem is I still need to replace the wheel bearings and get the nose repainted on the car. I didn't plan on listing it for at least another month. Bike is in Florida and he is offering free shipping for the bike.
I could take a week off, drive down and ride that bitch back.
It's much easier to just give in. Why bother fighting it any longer?fighting the urge to go full creature of the black lagoon today
defcon poops!I strongly suspect the "medium" green chile in this morning's breakfast burrito is mislabeled.
job i'm looking at moving into is at the same parent company, so i'm not trying to fuck up too bad.It's much easier to just give in. Why bother fighting it any longer?
I pay off the car for $5k, I get the title. I hand him the title for the car, he hands me the title for the bike in trade. So I just "bought" a bike for $5k. How does this not make sense?Uh, that's not a bike for $5k. That's a bike for $9k. Plus how are you going to trade if the car still has a lien on it? Makes no sense, this does.
Cause the car is worth $9k...I pay off the car for $5k, I get the title. I hand him the title for the car, he hands me the title for the bike in trade. So I just "bought" a bike for $5k. How does this not make sense?
A car is worth what someone is willing to pay (or what the bank says you owe). I owe the bank $5k, so that is a more realistic figure than what Kelly Blue Book says my car is worth and not having to deal with assholes wanting to test drive my car would be worth more than just about anything.Cause the car is worth $9k...
For all the CO monkies you can thank me for the snow dump this Friday. I knew it was too early to take of the snow tyres this past weekend. But I didn't want to continue driving around on them in 70 degree freedums.
Forecast suggests a possible 2ft dump of heavy wet stuff. Better get in a good ride today, might be the last one for a couple of weeks.
I'll give you tree fiddy, take it or leave it.A car is worth what someone is willing to pay (or what the bank says you owe).

<edit> I'm not sure I want to deal with idiots trying to sell my car in the first place. After the jackasses that wanted to buy my Harley kept showing up, holy hell.
Who goes to look at a motorcycle with the intent to test ride it and not bring a helmet? A $3k Harley brought out some real pieces of work. I can only imagine what a $10k Corvette brings out...
The dude without a helmet also nearly dumped my bike in the driveway. The Sportster has a lovely "feature" of having a spring loaded kick stand. Stand the bike up and the kick stand magically rises and tucks away. While sitting on it running, he went to lean it back onto the kick stand (that is no longer down at this point) and as he started to pass the tipping point, his right hand wrenches the throttle open as he is trying to right the bike before it hits pavement.I'll give you tree fiddy, take it or leave it.
alright @Wingnut ... what's misspelled?I strongly suspect the "medium" green chile in this morning's breakfast burrito is mislabeled.
