Follow Up: Helix Fair Price?

[radio1960]

Still on a search for a Helix. Have talked with the owner of a 2001 Black Helix. He sent the following information:

No scratches cracks or cosmetic issues. 24k service done in May. New plug, air filter, crank case breather, Changed oil, brake fluid, coolant. New final drive belt, fuel line cleaned. New front brakes. New tires less than 200 miles. Garaged stored, adult owned. Includes helmet, Honda Shop Manual, backrest, and extra windshield.
Asked about new rollers. He said it wasn't indicated at 24k.
Pics look good. Owner lives several hours away. Says only selling because he bought a larger scooter.

Price: $1,900.00.

Any input appreciated.

Thanks

That's a fair price if it really is in excellent condition

I would pay that much for a Helix

I bought my Helix in rough cosmetic condition for $900. It had 25,000 miles on the odometer. It too had required services completed along with new tires. In my neck of the woods, a Reflex could be had for around $1500. IMO opinion, a $1900 Helix seems a little too close to retail price.

Yep, ditto, too high.

The Helix maybe in great condition, but if the guy wants $1900 for it, he may be figuring on being jewed down some. So you can offer him $1200 and he will come back with a more reasonable price. Just a thought...
