Not that I've been looking much , but the average price is around £8500 dealer, but yours has higher mileage than average, but a nice set of wheels! So maybe push up to £9k for a private sale. Unfortunately never going to get anywhere near the money back on the carbon bits, not unless you fall lucky with the right buyer. Maybe get £10k.
what a cracking bike,be a shame to have to sell it so soon, and it seems a crime to return it to standard, but you will get more money this way
Go to webuyanybike and get a valuation then add on £500 to their figure. You will be disappointed with the end figure but it's what you will get selling private. The extras are not taken into consideration when getting a secondhand price so take them off and sell them separately.
Seriously? Don't. The amount you will realise to put to the house equates to less than £50 a month added to the mortgage. Look at it this way. Second hand bikes go to dealers at knock down prices or cash buyers. There are plenty of people who will want your bike but precious few, if any, both able and willing to pay what it has cost you. Ultimately it is only worth what someone is prepared to pay and what makes it special to you merely makes it marginally more desirable to a purchaser but not significantly more valuable. It is more in the nature of a tie breaker - like distance to travel. Finally, you will not get the advertised price. You will haggle down and be left feeling you let it go too cheap. Sell it when you fall out of love - not because your arm is being ripped out of its socket. Money is cheap to borrow on real estate. Look again at your housing budget.
I went to p/ex a bike with about £5k of extras on and the dealer offered me about an extra £500 saying that the parts are almost worthless second hand. But I know that if he advertised my bike the parts would be worth about £3k when advertised. I ended up selling it private with all the extras on and I probably got an extra £1000 over a standard model, but it didn't sell easily that's for sure. That's a crackin looking bike and I'm sure adding and sourcing the parts has given you an awful lot of pleasure over the last 18 months, that's the only way to look at it.. Keep it, it won't depreciate much more.
When ever I sell a bike, I always strip the parts off and then sell them seperately. You then have a nice wee pot of money to buy shiny bits for the new bike. I know this doesn't apply this time, but you'll never get close to the value of the parts in a sale. When you've spent £5k on bits, you'll do well to get £1k extra on the sale price, a shame, but it is true. Strip and sell, you'll get big money just for the carbon wheels. Sure the triple owners on here would happily give you money for some bargain priced carbon trinkets !!!! Even if you sell as a whole, keep hold of standard bits, the wheels with tyres & discs will be worth hundreds sold seperately.
I agree with Mr O, strip and sell the after market parts separately, you will get more money for them than leaving them on the bike. In the past I have always removed the after market stuff and sold separate, all parts have always sold for what I asked or very near to it. Shame to sell the bike after putting all that effort into transforming it into what you wanted, but needs must sometimes, been there done that!
