Whats with Triumph values

[Whylee]

Just on a whim I checked into trade in value on my 2023 Rocket GT, I cant believe what I got back. On 2 different dealers I got 13,500 and 13, 800.
This is basically a brand new Triumph since it has been snowing since I got it and its still under 100 miles on it.

There is a 2021 for sale here locally for 16k or best offer, one could probably get it for 14k cash in hand, that is good for us used market buyers. Even the old style bikes sell pretty cheap, sorry for the bad experience

Do not go by trade in value, AND the websites for evaluations are run by an automotive group to increase the profits for dealers. Scan through ads across the country, you will get a better outlook.

Secondhand prices are fairly strong here in the UK, but generally I get the impression that sales are very slow at the moment due to the wider economic problems.
The dealers have been offering discounts on new Rockets that are existing 2022 stock, but these bikes are limited production batches, so I doubt that there will be much in the way of any discounts available on 2023 bikes till the end of the year.

I look at cycletrader to get an idea of used prices from private sales. Dealers can make more profit reselling used bikes, buy low sell high.

The value is in the thrill.

It's a house of financial cards now.

IMO in 5-7 years anything internal combustion will have little value as electric becomes more prevalent in both cars and bikes.

They'll have to pry my internal combustion out of my cold dead cylinders!
