Asking for a better price?

[Little Miss Trouble]

Thanks all, deal is done. Maybe I could have offered a bit lower and seen if they'd take that but I'm happy, they're happy & will definitely be getting my repeat business also.
Now sitting impatiantly waiting for someone to come get me so I can go collect my new toy. Pics (of the bike) to follow.

Merry Christmas to meeeeee!

[Headbanger]

so....wheres these pics then?

[Little Miss Trouble]

Well, flatmate is not home yet to drop me back over to the shop to pick her up so no pics have been taken yet.

[Little Miss Trouble]

Arrg! this is frustrating, have sorted insurance etc and they STILL aren't home I want to go get her now!!

[BMWST?]

well done.....sure you may have been able to get it cheaper...and maybe not,youre happy and so is the dealer...so only more fulfilment to follow!

[Little Miss Trouble]

Me? OCD? never! Why aren't they here yet??!

[Devil]

Congrats. If it's the one you mentioned earlier, i'm sure you'll be quite happy!

[Little Miss Trouble]

Yep very tidy. The answer to that is 'enough' like I said, in all actuality the ticket price was quite fair given the prices I'd seen for earlier models, I made an offer, he had a think and asked when did I want to take her home

For weeks I haven't bothered to check the weather reports but it's looking pretty good for this week

Nice looking bike - I have always liked the SV650. That's the later one - what year and kms? If low kms anything remotely under $8k was excellent value.

2007 with just over 13,000 on the clock.
Very pleased now that I managed to be patiant enough to wait for this one to come along.

On the shopping list:
1, Radar detector. (bloody hell I love the torque of V-twins)
2, New exhaust. (already sounds good the growlier the better)
3, pack rack (ugly but very worthwhile for the longer trips)

Well done - you were correct in thinking it was good price to start with.

Neptune mufflers in Wellington do a nice pipe for the SV650 - available in several different finishes, and they sound very good.
