How much should I pay for this 2003 Honda Shadow?? purchasing used motorcycle guide

Come with me and let’s see what’s going on with this customers motorcycle who wants to sell it to my dealership. What do you think I will pay for this 2003 Horna shadow?

[@richardlord4132]

rule number one never use a dealer for a trade in or to buy or sale your motorcycle and never use their financing ever.

[@thomasjordan5578]

Exception to every rule. Four years ago I got a 2012 Honda Aero Shadow, 4000 Miles - $4000. only booboo a Hard to see fender crease above the taillight. This was to replace my 05 Aero which got totaled along with my left leg which was also replaced. Took me a year to accessorize and equip with thumb shift, handle on sidestand. I now have almost 14000 miles on it no issues. Only thing is when we went to pick it up the dealer was in a hurry to get us out of there, he said I was bad for business 😉🙏

[@azerogliev6520]

Honda has a 4.99% APR financing promotion right now. It's a pretty good deal. All the banks are giving 7-10% right now.

Seemed like a fair assessment

[@bruceshearer1719]

Thank you,Sir....very helpful.

[@vinnyavalanche]

I guess I did real good....the bike I purchased today is a 2003 shadow almost zero rust...with tires that only had 800 miles on them no cracks and nice. Payed 1200 this video really really helped thanx

[@markkaplan2133]

You scored. I put over 150K on my 2001. Enjoy your new ride. Don't be a sucker, keep it forever.

[@bubbaslaughter8379]

Paid 2k for mine today

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

The tires are one of the most important parts of any bike. It is one of the first things anyone should look at when buying a bike. Anyone that will ride a bike with bad tires obviously doesn't understand the importance that they play in the safe operation of a motorcycle and you have to figure that if they don't know about the importance of tires there is good chance that they don't know a lot of other things as well.

[@kelleymanning1137]

I bought a 2005 shadow aero 750 with 8000 miles for $2600 in Tennessee.

[@colebear5674]

I’m kinda close to you. I bought a 2002 shadow 750 ace with 12,000 miles with new tires and speakers and and it came with some other accessories for 3,000. I also live in TN and bought it last week

Well I happen to agree with him. Those bikes sale around here from 1500 up to about 2500

[@michaelobe1203]

I just bought one, exactly the same trim, and even plastidipped black (it was red too) hahah exactly the same condition, but with v&h exhaust and cobra foot boards for $250

[@TwoTall1988]

lol since everyone else is doing it. I just bought a 2001 Honda Shadow Spirit (VT750DC1) with unknown miles (but the original owner was a rich kid that daily drove it), non-running and sat in Central Florida weather for about a year. Light surface rust here or there and needs a new battery, carb rebuilt, forks rebuilt (shot dust shields/wiper seals) but it will most likely fire right up once I get a battery and clean gas in it even without the carb rebuild. Paid $250 to my brother-in-law and he paid $1,250 before he let it sit.

[@geraldscott4302]

That looks like it used to be a red and chrome bike that was totally destroyed with flat black paint. It has a lot of rust and corrosion. What's UP with the front fender? It's not a dirt bike. Absolutely amazing it has the stock exhaust on it. I always liked the big huge 2 into 1 stock pipes on the early Shadow 750 ACE. Depending on its mechanical condition, I could build a nice rat bike out of that. It already has a good start on one.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

Thanks. I am about to buy my first motorbike and every bit that I can learn before doing so can only help me. You obviously buy and sell motorbikes for a living so I look forward to seeing other videos before I part with my hard earned money. Thanks again.

[@kevinmcdonald6446]

Pro-tip - Clean the freaking bike, straighten up things, before you take it in. Good video, appreciate the info. This bike shows the owner didn't give a rip about it or what he might get in trade-in.

[@EDPowersports]

Thank you Mr. McDonald. Great input and very on point.

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

I totally agree and this is how all dealerships should approach the running of their business. I'm guessing that when people see this man's videos they will see him as a good businessman who wants the best for his customers.

[@kennethcalimpong7919]

[@EDPowersports]

Thank you Ken!

[@xxLaNcExx07]

Its prolly worth 1500 but in todays market it'll be listed for $2500

[@magnuspym]

$500.tops

Naa not that bike unless some one fell an hit their head

he is out to make himself and the dealer money at your loss.

[@bobdailey9735]

Clutch lever ball end is broken off. This bike was dropped or layed down in an accident. Rear hub damage, fluid leaks, odometer not working. The bike is a can of worms. I would pass on it.

[@terryscogins5575]

I would bet that little bike has sat outside in the weather for a lot of its life. Guarantee ya it’s still dependable af though.

[@barrygoodson4952]

I have a 02 750 ACE that shames that bike. Only have 4k original miles on mine. V&H pipes . Can be yours for $2,500 !

[@markkaplan2133]

Funny, you'd pass on the bike because of the tires, not because of the pitting, rust, and jacked up rear wheel. Doesn't sound legit.

[@yeahboy28100]

This is a shame. Why would you want to get rid of that bike? I guess if you have to? You have to. That's a very nice bike😊

[@azerogliev6520]

It's not nice. It's rough. Have you even watched the video? Broken parts all over the bike, rust, missing parts, worn bushings, and who knows if engine is not sputtering bolts and is on last leg of life.

[@antoniochacon8282]

Hello…How much is it…750…?

[@colebear5674]

Do y’all think I overplayed? I just bought a 2002 Honda shadow ace 750 w 12,000 miles with new tires and new speakers on the bike and a few other accessories for 3,000 in TN. I just bought it last week

[@azerogliev6520]

$250 is the max I would pay for 2002. And only if seller throws in a nice gear.

[@uriassmith4110]

Without seeing the bike it’s hard to tell but in my area they run between 2-3k w/ some having a lot more miles.

[@manuelcarvalho4199]

Bro I bought a 2007 honda aero 11k here Cali no rust looks great except for a small dink on the front left side of gas take . Everything else works no leaks . I payed $ 3600 . Did I pay to much . First bike. Please 🙏 let me know your thoughts .

[@coltwinchester6124]

I found a 2003 Aero for a friend of mine. 724 miles on it. Small rust spots on the chrome cleaned right off. Change all the fluids, tires, and battery. Cleaned the tank and carbs. Shined it all up brand new. looks and runs like brand new. Put about $500 into it, paid $2,000 for it. So, for $2,500 he got a nice new motorcycle.

[@azerogliev6520]

@@coltwinchester6124 $2500 for a 20 year old bike. Sheesh. $250 is more like it and only if you throw in a nice gear.

Is the 2005 carbonated or fuel ejected?

[@needparalegal]

@@TylerTheWelder Carbureted, and the most convoluted carburetor I have ever delt with. Its just stupid. I am trying to adapt universal carbs but the way the tank sits over the engine makes it difficult to engineer.

[@azerogliev6520]

I can see you are moronic imbecile that knows nothing about bikes and even less about repairs. That rear wheel hub is alone worth more than $200 and probably 8 times more than your life. Allah Inshallah.

[@tomakafrankconlon3207]

Never think a tire is good just because it has no wear. Look at the year it was made. If its older than 5 years it will have lost over 40% of it grip capabilites due to the rubber hardening. DOT markings are there for a reason.

[@silverwiskers7371]

one offer of $300, take it or leave it that is you pay me that much to haul it off

Sketchy ass dealership are a no go when it comes to selling or trading your bikes be watchful of who looks at and purchases it at one of these places because the owner of the dealership will send some dummy out to talk to you about and Buddy will have no experience with the market in bike shops
