Anyone ever managed to do a trade in with any big bike dealer here in Thailand ???  say trading a low mileage 2022 Z900  for a triumph  or Honda ???

seems they are only interested in selling new bikes   ????

You will get around 40% less than marked value.

 

At a used bike shop, you might get 65-70% of the marked value. 

 

Extras is not worth anything and best sold separately

I traded in a 650cc to buy a 1,000cc and got a good deal in doing that. The 650 cc was less than around 1.5 years old and the dealer paid me 60% of the purchase price of a new bike. This was during Covid when all dealers had a hard time selling new bikes. For the 1,000 cc I received an additional discount of close to 30%.

I have had no luck with marketplace or Baht and sold , bike was on there for 3 months very realisticly priced ,210k   , no interest at all,, there are several Z900 on there at higher prices and older, higher miles  and less spec also no interest .

 

I dont mind losing a bit to get rid of it or Px it thats why I priced it low ,

 

i want a smaller lighter bike maybe a Triumph trident 660  or new  Enfield 650 Bear 

I still have my Ducati S4 here too its much lighter than the kawasaki  but I have some people interested in buying it for 140,000 baht so its probably going soon .

Im off to Uk on 12th as my Thai daughter is having a baby at Xmas in UK  and probably not back here for a few months   ,, so may have to shelf getting rid of the Kawasaki  until I get back   I do love it but its heavy for me now ,,,

in UK I have  Ducati Monster 750  and a Kawasaki 650

Was the 650 you traded in of the same brand as the 1000 you bought? If so maybe then it is easier to get a good deal than if you change brands.

No, the 650 was a Honda, the 1,000 Kawasaki. At that time I went to Honda, BMW and Kawasaki. The trade in price at Honda and Kawasaki was similar, BMW wanted to pay less. But the additional promotion discount at Kawasaki gave me a once in a life deal.

But as mentioned this was during Covid and at that time all dealers had a hard time.
