Re: Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 Owners Review and Experience
I sold my Discover 2011 model disc before buying 200NS. But the dealer asked for a funny price of 16-17K. Now isn't that silly?. Why?, for an 18K KMs ran, 65+ mileage returning bike in a good condition sells for just 17K, which I bought some 2.5 years back for 58K?. The answer he said was "Your Discover model now does not exist...!!! Now Was that my fault?. The KTM-Bajaj dealer said even if I bought a duke 200 and came back to sell in few months, he would only buy it ~1Lac, because Bajaj always has poor resale value as compared to Honda or Hero (Because of mediocre quality and degradation of parts over year). Well, I accept the quality perspective and their life time, but still the exchange price was very less and looked funny to me. I live in Chennai. Searched through many OLX post, but shocked to see that many guys have put the prices as high as 35-40K for the same model, but I could see the same 2-3 years old FZ(earlier version) sells for the same. Called up some owners and asked about the price, then they too revealed that through dealer it sells only <20K any day.
I got exhausted in threatening them saying I would buy from some other dealer as they are quoting less price, but surprisingly all 4 dealers (major) didn't even bother that.
Now understand this, through dealer, he calls up for another buyer who regularly buys from dealer the second hand bikes and quotes the price. Now to sum up the dealers profit + buyer profit(broker/agent) they usually quote very less. Now the best place to avoid this is sell through OLX\Quikr. I have sold many items through that.
Some tips
1. Put a reasonable price, say 30-36K (depending on your bike condition) and say negotiable. Otherwise none will even bother to contact you
2. Add a detail info about your bike, year, date, features, number service done, last service time, bills that you have, etc
3. Give more pictures (Clean the bike before taking pictures)
4. Mention, that you would water wash the bike once before giving, and also you'll allow for test rides
Now another advantage through selling this portal is, you can sell the bike thereby transferring the registration and insurance through a local vehicle license agent easilly. It might cost around 400-500 only. It takes just few minutes to give them both of your details and the buyer can get the RC book the next day. This is good rather than giving it to some dealer who can possibly misuse, you never know.
Since your model is 2013, I hope it can surely sell for 28-30k through dealer and through OLX means add extra 3-5K.
I sold mine for 24.5K
