should I buy 99 Venture with 58000 miles

[troymorrison5]

I'm considering trading my 03 v star 1100 classic with 18k miles for a 99 venture with 58k miles for $2999. Assuming bike was well cared for, what should i be concerned with, and am i getting a good deal?

You'll be getting more of a bike but in my opinion it don't seem like a deal

[Flyinfool]

It all depends on the condition of both vehicles as to whether it is a good deal.

 

58K miles is no big deal on these bikes.

Heck Yes...My 99 only had 48K on it before the fire and would jump at the chance, if she doesn't clean up, to get one like her for under $3K.

Go For It!

,, is this an even up swap - your 03 Classic for the Venture? If so - GO FOR IT!! If its your Classic PLUS $2999,,,, not so much IMHO...

Oopss, more to your question,,, take a peek at the mono,, look for oil dampness on the bottom of the shock.. Also might wanna test ride it and see how much clutch whine it has and whether you can live with what ever it produces - some folks can and some folks cant..

What Cowpuc said plus make sure the modification to the trunk mounting has been completed.

I have one with 70K on it and I am hoping to get $3500 out of it so your bike and $2999 would be not be a good deal for you.
