I recently tried to buy a z250 from a private seller. The seller did inform me he got it 2nd hand. Just so happens that the bike he was selling was one i had my eye ons ( Seller bought it 2nd hand from a shop and if i bought it I would be 3rd owner). The shop selling price was RM8500 and he was trying to sell it for RM8700, when i asked him about this he said that it was because he gotten new tires, chain and other maintenance parts for the bike. But as the seller trying to sell it as 3rd hand shouldn't it go for cheaper because of how many people the bike has been through? Can anyone share their thoughts and opinions on this? Is Malaysia's private motorcycle sales market really just " harga ikut hati"?

QUOTE(ave666 @ Oct 25 2021, 08:06 PM) What's the secondhand market value for this bike currently? And what's the condition? Service record? Market value is about 10k-13k, condition was good and not sure of service records but said to be good. i understand its below market value, but I'm curious, shouldn't third hand become cheaper? OR did i miss a steal hahah

QUOTE(jacktay94 @ Oct 27 2021, 10:24 PM) you missed a steal bro. 2nd hand 3rd hand 4th hand doesn't bring down the price. It is all about market pricing. If 1st owner bought and didn't use (maybe put number plate), does it make the bike less valuable? In the end the bike condition is the main factor, not the number of past owners I guess. so its actually see the condition rather than the amount of owners la? what about the fact that he selling for more than he bought? is that right actually or should he sell at same price or slightly lower only?
