used 2006 yz250f

[Foxman06]

i went to the local dealer today. and i was looking looking at the new 07 250f when i saw a used 06 250f. i went over and its in fairly good condition. minor scratches. the levers are scratched up a bit. it has a powerbomb header. the left side shroud graphic is pealing and thats about it. i checked out the tires, chain, sprockets, brakes, cables, started it. everything was great. it sounded different from a new 06 250f, but im guessing that is from the Powerbomb. it is listed for 3995$. DO you guys think this is a good price for this bike sry no pics.

I think thats a decent price for an '06. But you are going to pay a lot more for it. Tax is another couple hundred, and they tack on their "dealers fee" of about 500$. Go for it if you want, but unless you have a couple money tree's in the back yard, I'd look in the classifieds or on craigslist. just my opinion i guess

i would go with the new 07...wasn't the 06 the one with the bad valve stems....it is a good price, but there is more info that you will need from the previous owner b4 you buy it... here are some question to ask yourself and the owner

Ask the dealer if the Valve recall has been done to it? Also ask if their is any other fees involved? If all is good offer $3700 and see what they say? I have an 06 that the recall work has been done. I have about 30 hours on it and no problems. The way I understand it is Yamaha will do the recall for whoever owns the bike (does not have to be original owner).

am I missing something here? You could've gotten a new '07 for that.

I picked up a used '06 for $3750 from a private sale, felt like I got a pretty good deal. It was a better deal after I dumped a some bux for a HC big bore, wave rotors, triple clamps, tires, drive train, graphics, and suspension re-spring / revalve and still paid less than a new '07. ( yeah, I'm bragging) I'd say $3995 from a dealer isn't too bad (but I'd still try to hammer them on the price).

Dealers always have 'fluff' built into thier prices, especially cause they dont give crap on trade-in on dirt cycles. Offer them 3200, they will counter with like 3800. Tell them you will think about it and ask for the salesman's name and work number/ext.

call back in a day or 2days, call him by name, and tell him you like it but think 3500 is a better ballpark, I bet you walk out of there with it for 36-3700 plus tax. Dont pay any other fees except they may have a $50ish documention fee you cant avoid.

by the way, i worked at a bike dealership last summer. They love when you walk in there an only ask for 100-200 less, as that is a given to them. So start way low, you can always come up.
