New wee value!

[malcolm]

I have been told by more than one stealer that the book value for a 2011new shape wee is £3600 that is £200  less than I got for my 2009 wee with 9k miles 8 months ago!
It has done 2k miles that's more than a £1 a mile depreciation.

I got 3450 px for my 2008 wee with 12k on it.

The new wee can't be very popular it looks like people are buying late old models. The new wee was launched at £7000 you can now buy them for £5500 new. that's why the second hand value is so bad

I don't see a problem. I bought mine to ride, not to sell on. I've never looked at any of my bikes as a sell on value. Bikes and cars and lots of other thing depreciate in value. It's a fact of life.

[blackops]

New cars and bikes are never going to be an investment. I bought a demo 2012 wee to use and enjoy it cost me  £5500 with all the bits on and I absolutely love it.Its probably one of the nicest bikes I've ever ridden and take it from me I've had a few in my time, 47 as a matter of fact !

I wonder if things would be different if they had released an 800+cc wee instead of the same 650 capacity?

The engine's a gem as it is

There is nothing wrong with the bike its great I just fancied trading up to something bigger. Ill just have to keep it for a couple of years I don't think it will loose much more and hopefully XTZ1200 and versys 1000 will have similar depreciation. I just wish Suzuki had sold it at its true value £5500 in the first place and saved me and a few others this massive depreciation

part-exed my 12k 09 for 3250 this month

[doboy]

don't listen to dealers they want to give you rock bottom prices for your trade in then stick it in the showroom for top dollar ...

[cearnshaw]

and it's up for £4200  

Still I got a great discount on the Versys 1000, have some bits to sell off the Wee as well and it was £750 more than Triumph were offering, and I bought it for £5k so in 12000 miles I lost £1750
