SXR 800 SX-R NADA and Kelley Blue Book Values

[trailrider]

Looking at a 2005 800 SX-R. Used prices from individuals seem to be way over NADA and Kelley Blue book ($4000 asking). NADA has an average retail price of around $2400. Kelley Blue Book has $2835. These are supposedly dealer prices not private party. What gives? I don't think they are going for this.

Thanks,

Mike

In my opinion Kelly Blue book and NADA guide prices do not correlate very well with actual jetski sale prices.

It can most likely be traced to the simplest roots of economics, supply and demand. In most areas, including the Seattle metro area, $4000 for a clean 05 sxr is a great price and would likely sell quick.

something is only worth what somebody will pay for it. I tell buyers, that want NADA prices, to pound sand. and good luck finding a desirable item for NADA prices.

NADA and Kelley Blue Book seem closer on couch skis. Last May I bought a clean '07 Kawasaki Ultra LX with a trailer that had 110 hrs for $3950. It is probably the limited supply of stand ups. I hate spending about the same money for a ski two years older with a lower original MSRP and without a trailer. I probably will though.

Thanks for the replies
