Hey fellow S4bikers. Juz got my 2A licence. So, I'm planning to get 2nd hand Spec3. There's this particular one at M1, the motortiam at kembangan, the sales guy quote me $10.5k machine price for FBB plate. Mileage 38k. Personally, I think the sale guy there is very nice to me, friendly too. I don't usually go to M1 or recommend my friends to go to this shop coz I heard they always quote high price,but after my own experience with them, I think I might consider getting the Spec3. Here's my story...
I went there yesterday after I got to know there's a 2nd hand Spec3 for sale. When I got there I saw this FBB plater. Honestly,it wasn't a love at first sight coz of the outlook (a lil bit dusty n sport rims were damn dirty). On top of that, rear tyre is gone case n both crash bar was rusty but only at the screws. But the factory paintwork is still good tho. No scratches or cracks.
I'm sure everyone here agrees with me if we want a 2nd hand bike which we buy from a shop, we expect it to look good inside out, if possible, look n feels like a new bike. Small2 thing also ask to change. Right? So, I pin pointed all of the stuff that I don't like. Especially tyres. At first, the sales guy hesitates. Of coz lah, coz I didn't mention that I confirm buying the bike. Then I say, let say I take what he can offer me. He says only rear tyre n servicing. I disagree with him n this is where the battle for accessories n the final price began.
After the rear tyre issue, I asked for a new chrome crash bars n a pair of side mirrors. When I got them, he asked me how much is my downpayment. I said $3000. He then took out his calculator. We both calculate the price coz I really think $10.5k for a FBB plate is still ex. So I asked can lower the machine price he gave me $100 off ONLY. So now $10.4k, rmb, new crash bar n side mirrors. After that, I don't know why, maybe he see me very sincere to get the bike, he offers brand new front n rear Pirelli tyres n new chain n spockets for free. Personally, I think it's a very good deal. On top of that,full servicing which is normal. Let's break it down...
