I have been looking for a 250 cc Hyosung Mirage for a bit of time now, and in my small town, i finally found one. it is a 2003 with 10,000km and some Harley Saddle bags (no box or sissy stick).

they want 2,000,000 for it, how does this sound? is this a reasonable price? for those that have bought from a dealer in Korea, how much will they negotiate? will i be lucky to drop it 100,000, or should i expect to get it down atleast to 1,700,000?

on some online auctions, i have seen the price range from 1,400,000 to 1,800,000. when i showed them the copies of these, they said their's was newew, the bike online for 1.8 was a 2004 with 12,000km (no add ons) they said it was a lie. on the internet, will they lie, or is the dealer just trying to sell theirs?

thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I got mine for 1.7 last year and I found a nice Honda Shadow, but the trade in value is 1. 5, so 1.7 is the most you should pay.

But the Mirage 250 is a descent bike and great for small town cruise'n which is what I do all the time WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE! Sorry, this rain is kinda gett'n to me so had to vent!

G'luck!
