2wheels4me Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'm thinking of trading up to a 2012 VFR, trading in my 2007. I have seen one that is listing for 11,400, with 4k on the milage. I'm sure they will come down a bit as in any trader negotiation, but just wondering what a fair offer would be? Is all stock and in excellent conditon by the way. I missed out on all the rebates/clearance pricing for the 10's, and these aren't discounted as of yet,for a brand new one anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Switchblade Posted May 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 9, 2013 Who is they, if its a dealer there gonna use Kelly Blue Book or something similar but make sure you use the same book for your trade in value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer luvtoleanit Posted May 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think we have a member that is going to sell his '10 for $9500 or so. It only has 2700 miles. I'll PM you his email to see if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volfy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've seen used '10 advertised typically between $8.5k and 10k, depending on mileage and location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volfy Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Why do you say you missed out on all the rebates/clearance pricing for the 10's. There are still some leftover '10 brand new sitting on the showroom floor. What I do notice is that those are typically held by dealers that just don't want to deal. There are a couple here in town that still want $12k +TTL. I told them they are gonna keep them forever if they want that kinda price. Heck, I'm starting to see '12 leftovers getting some healthy discounts already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted May 9, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 9, 2013 Remember, the 13's are hitting the showrooms now. You can find brand new 0 mile 12's still in the crate for 11k OTD right now. Ask me how I know.

Heck, I'm starting to see '12 leftovers getting some healthy discounts already. I say missed out, because at the time that most of the clearance pricing was going on for the 10's I wasn't really in the market to change bikes. Unfortunately, there never are many in my area anyway, so whether it's a leftover 10 or 12 it will require a bit of travel. So since a used 12 popped up literally down the street, I thought it might be a good time to go for it. Remember, the 13's are hitting the showrooms now.

Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted May 10, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 10, 2013 DFW Honda, ask for Charles, 11313 otd. 2012 with 0 miles, full warranty, still in the crate, prepping her today, I pick her up tomorrow morning. Local dealer wouldn't budge. I will travel about 2 hours to save 2k instead of using my local dealer. Hope this helps. Sent from my crazy hand held thingy using Tapatalk 2 Let me know if you call him so I can get some referral goodies from him lol. I need a center stand now. Sucks that the 7th gen doesn't come with one. Sent from my crazy hand held thingy using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted May 10, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 10, 2013 DFW Honda is where I bought my 94 ! The owner is the son of Al Lamb (of Al Lamb's Honda - one of the largest Honda dealers in Texas.) Terry Poovey a famous flat track racer was teh head mechanic at DFW Honda when I lived in TX, Terry has since been severly injured in a racing incident and I lost track of his progress. Mark Lamb is the owner I believe. Great group. Enjoy the ride home and try to stay off of I-35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the black but blue is sweet! Thanks pw and sorry, Adam was quick. He was grinning from ear to ear after he test drove it so I think he is gonna like it. I do like the black better but I like the blue also and the price was damn hard to pass on. I will keep my eyes open for a clean 5th gen for you though. They do come up around here once in a while and for pretty good prices. Sent from my crazy hand held thingy using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2FAST4U Posted May 10, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 10, 2013 Something to keep in mind is the cost of insurance. Here in Dallas, a '12 costs almost twice as much to insure as a '10. As for the bike itself, pre-owned mint condition '10's are routinely selling for $9k now. A new '10 will typically run at least $3k more because a lot of dealerships that still have them are unwilling to budge on price. Sooner or later they're gonna have to bite the bullet and just take a loss on them. As for '12's, the best price I've seen for a new one is $11k. Pre-owned '12's in mint condition can go for as low as $10k. All of these are for non-DCT's. If you get a pre-owned 7th gen, take into account how close the bike is to needing the 16k service. It runs $800-$900. No joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted May 11, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 11, 2013 I just insured my fz6 and my 12 VFR with full coverage, disappearing deductibles, and 3k accessory coverage each for a total of 580 for the year. The 12 was not much more than my 07. Progressive has some pretty good rates. Sent from my crazy hand held thingy using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JED13 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 In Feb 2013 from a dealer in State College, PA, I bought : $10,999 (new 2012 VFR 1200) $ 149 (Set up) $ 189 (installed centerstand) $ 835 shipping to AZ Added: Givi windscreen $119 Heli Bars $298 Knight Blue 1" drop pegs $149 Honda Bags $1100 In the process of upgrading the seat - priceless.

If I lived in rural Oklahoma, I'm sure my rates would be significantly lower (more in line with what you're paying.) My VFR800 is insured through Progressive, too. In Feb 2013 from a dealer in State College, PA, I bought : $10,999 (new 2012 VFR 1200) $ 149 (Set up) $ 189 (installed centerstand) $ 835 shipping to AZ Added: Givi windscreen $119 Heli Bars $298 Knight Blue 1" drop pegs $149 Honda Bags $1100 In the process of upgrading the seat - priceless. I looked into buying that bike from Track 'N' Trail but, ultimately, I decided to put those plans on hold. If I do get that '12 next year, I'd paint the rear cowl blue, put on a DAM can and get a Thurn fender eliminator kit. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JED13 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 That is the dealer I bought it from. I actually bought it in Jan 2013 - it took 3 weeks to get to AZ by the shipper. If they have another one and you elect to pull the trigger, this is an excellent place to do business. E-mail me for recommendation on the shipper. Found an excellent one - enclosed shipping, perfect condition when it arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once did a 600 mile trip (through Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota) in 30 degree weather. Cagers were giving me the "are you out of your mind?" look. LOL.

That is full coverage with UIM, etc. I have a '09 R1 and a '10 Zuma 125 also. I pay right at $1400 for all 3 but the R1 is by far the biggest portion of that. The VFR wasn't shit to insure.

Member Contributer huntinggunns Posted May 12, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted May 12, 2013 What I found out after shopping around some is that some companies consider the 1200 as a high performance bike. I have been with Allstate for years. When I got a quote for the 1200 they wanted almost 1300 dollars a year to insure it. State farm was the same way. Luck of the draw I guess and I am happy with 582 for both bikes for the year with full coverage, uim, and 3k accessory coverage.
