Outfit out of Irvine CA will ship you a new 2002 xr400 for ~4,400 (go
see cycletrader.com... Not that yours isn't worth 3500 but your
"(You’ll pay $5100 OTD for a new one)" is a little presumptious
on your part....

Charlotte Honda just sold a new '01 for $3699 and the 600 is going for
$3999. That was a couple weeks ago. I'm sure they're gone...

"OBO - Or Best Offer" surely suggests that I would take what the thing is
worth.

$3300 would be a very fair price here in the Pacific Northwest. Any
dirt bike sells for more than a price guide price around here.

NADA, right? I find Kelly Blue Book, http://www.kbb.com, much closer to
street price at least where the Colorado front range (where XR hold their
value well) is concerned:

1998 Honda XR400R
1-Cylinder
4-Stroke
400cc

Suggested Retail Value $3415

Get a few dirtbikes,
Do a bit of wrenching,
Find new single-track,
On your own ...

This is great. About a month ago I posted a Kelly price... just because it
was the first I came too. And got informed that NADA was the way to go. Now
I quote a NADA price and someone thinks Kelly is better. :) LOL.
BTW - both of these ask for your zip code which would lead me to beleive
that the prices are adjusted based on that.
Of course if I'm selling I check both and go with the higher and if I'm
buying... the lower.

I think $3300 is a bit much for a 98 XR4 here in Ky. $2900 maybe even $3000
sounds more like it. No way $3400+.

My experience is that people pay way too much attention to price and not
enough to condition on used bikes.

If an average 98 XR is worth $3000, a really nice one should easily be worth
$3500 (or more) and a crappy one should be worth $2500 (or less). People
will sink $500 into plastic, graphics, pipes, handlebars, etc. before they
ride their bike the first time, but balk at paying $500 over market for a
immaculate, non-abused, perfectly maintained bike. False economy in my
book. Unless your into wrenching, pay a little more and go ride.
