"How much is my bike worth on trade?"

[Waltr]

If you are looking for a California 1400 the short answer to the above question is, at least $2,000.00.  That is what Guzzi will pay you to trade in anything with a title for a new Cali.  Plus Great financing.  Check with you dealer before March 31.

Yep, we're doing this deal and Guzzi USA has been great about it. KBB trade in value + $2000 on anything brought in with a KBB over $2000. 0.9% for 36 months or 3.99% for 60 months.

[Perazzimx14]

I'm confused. Is it $2,000 for anything with a title or does it have to have a KBB retail/trade value of $2,000 to get $2,000?

[pocphil]

They will match the value of your trade up to $2000

Example:

Bring in a Beater that's only worth $800 and they'll give you $1600 towards your Cali 1400.

Bring in a nice bike that's worth $7000 and they'll give you $9000 towards your Cali 1400.

We had a guy who bought a Harley Sportster 2 years ago and spent $13,000 otd. Well, KBB on it was only $8k or so, giving him $10k on the trade made him much happier and got him on a Guzzi.

Or, bring in no trade and take $1500 of the bike. All other deals still apply.

I'm guessing that the better deal for Guzzi would be to give you $2000 if you brought this thing in, and $2500 if you left it home and they didn't have to pay the landfill fees ... !

Oh man... So with my Buell it would be like $7k for a Cali Custom, and with my Sportster it would be $5k. :o

Oh well, timing isn't right anyway....

But I hope some people take advantage of the deal!

[Waltr]

   The Guzzi deal says they will allow $2,000.00 for any trade in. No mention of KBB or anything else just they (Guzzi) will add to any trade-in a sum of $2,000.00 when trading for a California model year 2014.
  They will do $1,500.00 with no trade so if you plan on trading it is even a better deal. If you don't have a trade you still have them dropping $1,500.00 to help the deal. 
  As a dealer we are kicking in $1,500.00 as long as they last.  We give 10% off M-G accessories at time of purchase.

M-G is serious with low financing rates.

I'm no math whiz but I can take $1,500 off the price with no trade or I can trade in my $800 bike and get $1,600 off the price. Seems as though I am only getting $100 for my $800 bike.  

Even the Harley example the guy got an additional $500 not $2,000. The $1,500 incentive was always there.

How is the trade in valued? I have a 1975 850T that I value at $20,000 + the $2,000 from Guzzi I have $22,000 burnin' a hole in my pocket. I'll be by tomorrow to pick up my new Cali. If you don't have enough cash in the till you can just write me a check for the difference :BEER:

[Waltr]

If your bike is worth $800.00 they will add $2,000.00 to that for a total of $2,800.00.

[Kev m]

So the whole negotiation revolves around valuing the trade

[Waltr]

Perazzimx14,  
That would be great but trade in vehicles are not legal tender if they were you could take them to the bank and deposit them.  A deal placing a value on a vehicle being traded in is up to the judgement of the dealer and buyer together.  Of course everyone knows this.  

[Waltr]

No it evolves around M-G kicking in some cash.  My original post and picture was kind of a joke but not really because, as it was explained to me, there are very little in the way or qualifiers in the trade-in deal.

This really boils down to $500 over what you negotiate your trade in value to be. A value that will most certainly be $100's or possibly $1,000's under retail.

The $1,500 is there if you do or don't trade.

That is pretty much it.
For a person who is trading anyway this adds another $500.00 incentive above no trade at all, is this a BAD thing?

But no when you boil it down, regardless of the trade you can negotiate any deal you (the dealer) or the customer wants/can, but it boils down to valuing the trade..

If the dealer negotiates a trade value that is $2k less than market, the +$2k is meaningless.

OK.   Trade my EV for $3k and $2k from Guzzi? ($5k tot)

what about the other $1500?

[pocphil]

Ok, sorry for any confusion....

If you bring in your $500 beater - You're getting $2500 off the Cali 1400

If you bring in your $4500 daily driver - You're getting $6500 off

If you bring in your $12,000 Harley - You're getting $14,000 0ff

If you bring in NOTHING - You're getting $1500 off.

Pretty simple, Huh?

So, bring in your beater, or bring in nothing, or get more money for your trade than someone else was offering. Or who cares? It's a screaming deal. And it won't be around after March.
