What's this worth??

[stuntman_12]

What is an 01' yz 250 dirt bike worth? It's got low hours, fresh looking plastics, fmf pipe and silencer. It's still got a ton of compression too. This guy is wanting to trade for my 416ex.... i kinda don't want to, but i will if it's worth as much or more than my 400... will it be as easy to sell? I eventually want to wind up w/ a 450r...

Trade-In Value (Good Condition) $1730 Trade-in Value is what consumers can expect to receive from a dealer for a trade-in unit assuming an accurate appraisal of condition. This value will likely be less than you would receive from a private party sale because the reselling dealer incurs the cost of safety inspections, reconditioning and other costs of doing business. Trade-in values are based on clean units in good condition, with all original standard equipment. Mileage/condition and additional equipment may have a substantial impact on the value shown above.

Dirtbikes, especially any "bigger" bike, have horrible resale value. You are much better off keeping the quad, or if anything selling it and using the money to buy a bike with plenty left over.
