Ultimate Honda Grom Buyer's Guide

After owning 4 Honda Groms I figured it was time to put together a Ultimate Honda Grom Buyer's Guide for those looking for how much to pay when purchasing a new or used Honda Grom from the dealership or from a private seller. #hondagrom #grom #buyersguide

You should make another video on the other side of things “don’t over charge for a Grom”. Most Grom owners don’t know how devaluation works, your 2015 6k mile Grom ain’t work 3.2k even with mods.

[@Photogromer]

Well this video is probably being watched by sellers too. If they don’t get their $3.2k maybe they will figure it out. I dunno it’s a tough pill for some people to swallow when going to sell. Best advise is part every mod out and return the grom to stock. You’ll maximize your return.

[@hipskipne1984]

I hear ya. Makes me want to buy new, though im highly inexperienced mechanically to call out all the red flags

[@2kanchoo]

I have no qualms about buying a used grom but all of them for sale around me are asking way over the price of a new one so new one for me it is. Also the new ones have a 5th gear and few other changes anyway. Was gonna buy a new 2020 from a dealership but they wouldn't honor the 400 rebate listed on the honda website so the difference to a 22 is 200 bucks. Might as well get the new one for that little difference.

[@itshybrids3136]

They are cheap brand new

[@Ray_Conda]

I WISH people around my area would watch this. All the used groms are priced at 3000-3500 and it’s because they dumped 1k into aftermarket parts. I’ve tried so hard to negotiate and I always get “I know what it’s worth.” So stupid!!

You must be in florida. Every single person is a con artist or scamer, sack of shit. Fb market place is asking for 2k for a bike with rust no tires missing half the engine and no wheels so that's like all the other ones on market place. Also if they have an actual bike that works they have like 80k- 100k miles. I want out of this shity state. God I can't wait. Hope this state falls in the ocean with everyone.

[@tommydeets]

This guide was clearly made before COVID. Used Groms are going for $3000+ on the marketplace. Many for more than the $3500 sticker price of a new one.

[@ohlalalala1000]

Used OG grom usually sold around RM5000 (Around $1200+) when it available to sale. Pretty rare. Used AF model start around $1.6k to $2.1K here in Malaysia. Yea, overprice used grom exist. Its better just a buy a new one. New 2019/2020 model price at $2.8k (including tax+insurance). Most people I know, import their grom directly from Thailand. Brand new cost only $2.2k.

Hello Photogromer, my name is Steve from Sydney, Australia. I really liked this video to give me some scope into how much groms are in the U.S. I have 2 groms 2017 blue & a 2016 yellow I bought my 1st grom from the dealership in Sydney, for $3750 AUD. ( roughly $2700 USD ) that was with tax and with a year of on road cost. Aka registration and insurance. There is definitely a bit of a price difference between our 2 countries. I just found that interesting. I can't wait to see the new 2021 Honda Grom colors. I've been looking around for them since you showed them in a older video of yours. Take care all the best All the way from Sydney Australia SHTOIVEN 😝

[@troyhorton7845]

Do you think a 2019 grom abs with 500 mild, exhaust for listed price of 3,300 I should ask 2,500.00 or should I give him more, and should I get a ABS one?

[@Photogromer]

Depends on your market but I wouldn’t pay that much. What exhaust? How much is it new? Abs is a joke on a grom so I wouldn’t pay extra for it although msrp is higher for it so the seller might have more money into it because he bought a abs grom (his problem). Unless you’re brand new to riding and panic brake is a real possibility, the abs isn’t worth it on a glorified scooter. As I said in the video I wouldn’t pay more than 2500$ for a grom but I also have one already so if it’s my first grom maybe if you want it bad you’re willing to over pay instead of waiting to save a couple hundred bucks. I’d say under $2800 you’re over paying but could sleep at night. Again supply demand for your area.

[@PuffPuffPlay]

Was thinking to go the dealership route but naaaahhh thanks for the info I subbed

[@ReadyAsHeWillEverBe]
