I would buy something model year 2000 or newer...alot of good deals out there.

 

I bought my '04 Ultra this past march (with a bunch of chrome add-ons...forks, front wheel, engines doo-dads, etc) with 14K miles for $13K.
Offer him $9K......
If that old man is stuck on $10K.....I would walk.
Although two tone blue sure is pretty. LOL
Leave him your number and tell him to call you......and tell him don't wait long.

Log on to Craigslist.com
I found my bike on there.

take 9k in cash, show it to him and tell him he has a week to decide before you buy something else...cash in hand sometimes makes people bend.

 

I know I'm not comparing apples to apples but I had a mercedes that I was saving for my son for when he got his license. The car sat and didn't get much use. When the time came to use the car we had several problems that I'm sure wouldn't have been an issue had the car been used daily. Gaskets and seals dried up and rubber deteriorated. Now, I'm afraid to put any money into it because I'm not so sure when the bleeding will stop.
