Trading in bike for upgrade

[sops]

Firstly, I do apologise if this thread has been started before. Been having problems with the search function.

 

I'm currently riding a class 2b bike and I bought it first hand. I like the bike, but at times, I wish it has a bit more power for expressways and in the trails and especially when I'm carrying pillion. Regretted my friend's advice to get a second hand bike until I get a class 2 as I never was a bike enthusiast and wanted a bike more for transport. Things changed ever since I started riding.

 

I would like to ask what's the process for trading in. I still have about 2.5 years left of installments. I've approached the shop that I bought my current bike. They say that they will place a market value on my bike and I will have to top up the difference should it be lesser than the payment that is left for the bike. After that, the same process of buying a new bike applies. Is it the same for other bike shops?

 

How about trading in with other bike shops? I've got my eye for a particular class 2 bike but Mah seems to be the only one selling Husqvarnas. Do they allow trading in and what's the standard procedures?

 

I wish to ask from any of you who have done trade in before and honestly, I would like to get a good deal and not get short changed. Hope you guys can help. Thanks!

sell your bike at the garage sales in the forum.

Just ask the buyer to COI your bike and top u up.

 

 

If trading withh the shop it would be lets say, shop agreed to take the bike for ($X,XXX) and the 30 mths total installment is ($XXX) it means the shop will pay you back.

 

If the installment amount is more than the current trade in price, you need to top up.

 

This is the standard for all the bike shop.
