I am looking at an 03 with 6k miles. Is this a good year? What should I be asking about or looking for? It has chrome wheels, two brothers carbon, and a couple of other things.

Yep.

'03 is just fine, price should be between 5000 and 6000. Chrome Wheels?

5k for an 03?

Where do you guys get these prices from? I just got an 02 955i for 5900 with 1500 miles. I though it was a good deal.

Someone posted they saw a brand new leftover for 8200?
Here in New England 8200 gets you a used 03 or 04 with 3000 miles from the dealer.

And the private sale dudes are asking 6000 for 955i with 25k miles :wow:

fair enough

still, seems like a much better deal than you can get around here

I paid $6500 for my CE but California has higher Blue Book values for some reason. I also called it a wash because he had over $4000 is performance parts to include Ohlins internals in the front and an adjustible Ohlins rear shock. I think I got a good deal...

The rear suspension that I have on mine is a 46 HRCLS which lists for $1022.95 (uninstalled).

With the front forks, it really depends on what you want done. You could spend as little as $350 for an ohlins rebuild which I'm told consists of springs, valves and seals which is a lot better than OEM but not really great.

Keeping your original cartridges, I'm told you can get them revalved to use the 25mm valves, which is the same as they use in GP so I'm told. A buddy of mine with a ZX-10 just had that done to the tune of $4000. This makes your original forks as good as they can get.

New GP style forks (if you have a bike that will accept them) starts at around $8000 to a cost of something that will scare the hell out of $15000. Keep in mind that these prices are all not including labor and personal adjustments that must be made to the individual rider.

To be honest with you, I don't really need the ohlins but it came with the bike, so what the hell. :-D

Most of what I've just told you is word of mouth so it might not be 100% accurate. The price on the rear suspension of my bike is accurate though.

Dad_Roman,

You called and the bike was sold for $5800? I think they did good because that is more than I was willing to pay for a painted 03 955 with too much bling (chrome).

I think I may be heading toward a Aprillia Mille Factory. We'll see.
