How much to ask for 1987 Harley Sportster?

Question

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to assist but I figured I'd "throw it out" to see if you all can advise. I am about to list my hubbys Harley for sale as it is just sitting in the garage. It does need a fix that we are advised will cost around 300-400 but hubby does not want to fool with it - just wants to sell it. Anyway, it's a 1987 Sportster "Hugger" with 15K miles only. It is all pd. off so no bank involved...okay, so...if you were listing this would you list it on eBay or Craigslist or __________ (other suggestion)? and how much would you list it for?

thank you! I was not wanting anyone to do research FOR me - I just didn't know where the best place to look was & figured you all that are into motorcycles would be better informed than me. Thanks for the site ideas ... I'm on my way to look :) thanks again!

Answer 1

go to kelley bluebook {kbb.com}and look under motocylce type in year make model and mileageif in good working order 3385 but needing work how much money do you need or want for it

Answer 2

Ask $4995 and take $3995. This motor has no value as a dirttracker, but the bike is ok looking. Keep in mind, if it does not run, no matter what you say, you can only sell it for scrap parts.
You will be lucky to get $2000 in non working order.
Better yet, you get a tramp stamp and ride it. Tell woosy boy to clean the dishes while you have fun!

Answer 3

I'm not going to do your research for you. Look on www.cycletrader.com, and see what they are listed at. Then check eBay, see what similar bikes have SOLD for (on the left, "Completed Items") and somewhere in between is where you should list yours!

Are you in a big city, or small town? Big cities tend to bring more money, because there are more people looking for large items like this.

Answer 4

You should list it for about $150.00. If you through in a full tank of gas I'll take it.
