I just wanted to clarify because some posts will get locked if not placed in the classifieds.

I'm not 100% positive, as of yet, but I'm strongly considering it.

Hell, if someone showed up w/ $3k tomorrow, I guess I'd kiss it goodbye!

Haha I bought the identical bike above with identical upgrades but 710 miles for $3600. In CA bay area = premium price.

Don't fret the bike was a smoking deal but I had to bring it into Canada from NJ.
$350 shipping, $200 Import tax (just because), $89 for a used carb (the previous owner made a mess of it) and I will some day have to replace the seat because the previous owner carved out an inch of foam to reduce the height. All that and I am still about $300-$500 ahead of buying the bike in Canada. If a KLX250S / 700 miles listed here for $3600 in the spring time I think it would sell quick. Enjoy your ride, you got a fair deal and a great bike.

I got my 09 sf with 400miles on it last fall for $2500, completely stock (well it had the rear end trimmed up a bit, he did a good job at it I think). Don't ask me how, it just kinda happened, I had just sold my 99 Cobra and had cash in hand... and I let him sit for a month on it because I refused to pay anymore for the bike, at the time I just couldn't afford it.

Good deals are there if you have the patience.

I picked my all stock '09 w/ 1200 miles off CL for $2500 (was asking $3K). Best thing a seller ever said to me on the phone when I asked what his best price was..."I don't know, I'm not very good at negotiating".

Now all I have to worry about are all the dead spots through out the rpms since 2nd owner installed an fmf system without jetting for 500 miles.

My FMF powercore ran fine with no flat spots at without jetting so I think if you have issues it has another cause.

I got my '09 at the end of March, 2011... brand NEW, from a dealer, 1 mile on Odo, with 1 year warranty, for $3499.

Extras do not bring extra $ on a sale, so don't count on that to help. Your bike may bring $2500, if it's still in pretty good shape. If you find the right buyer (desperate) you might be able to squeeze $3100 out of it... maybe, if you wait long enough and sell it in the spring.

My 2009 S had 46 miles on it. 2500.00. Good deals are out there, you just have to keep looking. I didn't NEED to buy a bike, and the seller felt they had to sell. It's the cheapest way to buy anything...
