Selling an old motorcycle is more of an emotional affair because it has been with you for some time and is attached to your emotions. You would want to upgrade, change the motorcycle saddle, or just get rid of the old motorcycle. Whatever the situation, here are a few things you need to keep in mind before selling your vintage motorcycle so it goes as smoothly and successfully as possible.
Condition
and Documents:
Proper documentation
adds immense value to your bike. You should have a clean title and registration
up-to-date. Check the bike's condition before selling. Get together the
maintenance records, repair receipts, and parts replaced to serve as proof of
history and care for your bike.
Market
Value Research:
Know the market price
of your vintage Indian Daytona
parts. Gather data on similar models, which might be researched to
determine what they are selling for. Find other motorcycle sales in recent
auctions to learn the value. The vintage bikes secure more value in the
auction.
Selling
Method:
Decide how you are
going to sell your bike. You can sell directly to some buyers in private sales.
Auctions can make everything smoother, but they charge money. Advertise your
bike on websites online. You may get calls and emails, and it will probably be
a little bargain.
Timing:
Your timing may be all
that determines how you sell the motorcycle for more value. Think of it as warm
across the spring and summer seasons, and you will see high motorcycle sales
simply because people just love riding around more when the temperature does
start to rise.
Emotional
Attachment:
It is not easy to let
go of your vintage motorcycle if you have had it as a companion for some time.
You come to this with the realization of what is compelling you to sell the
motorcycle and whether it's something that you are at ease with.
