After much thought and consideration, due to a change of circs, I have decided to place a returns request on my R1200GS with BMW Finance.
There will be a shortfall to pay unless I can offload elsewhere, namely the dealer I bought it from, as suggested by BMW Finance.
They also asked if I'd considered selling it privately.
The settlement stands at £8952.12
Shortfall £2,309.17
Looking at current used R1200GS prices online, and in various dealerships, I note that they are listing bikes older than mine and with much higher mileage for more than this figure. Now, I am not a believer that any dealer is particularly generous in their offerings, and I understand they have overheads, but would this be a realistic figure for them to part with to take it off my hands?
R1200GS TU
2012 12 plate.
6,140 miles
Up to date service history.
H/Grips - ABS - Computor - TC - Hand Guards.
I would consider the condition to be pretty much what you'd expect at this age and mileage.
There are no accessories left on the bike so it is specced exactly as it left the showroom.
I am not up on the used figures for these bikes and so any (sensible) views would be appreciated.
Although this pic was taken a few months after initial purchase, it provides accuracy in so much as portraying the naked bike with no add ons. Yes, I know, the muffs are still in place.
