Just bought a 2015 Rebel 250 with 8600 miles on it from the local Honda dealer.. Paid $2500 for it. New tires, seems to run great. My question is the price a good deal? to me it seemed extremly good, miles seem a little high.

Welcome to forum n enjoy your ride. Price seems good 8000mile is nothing for a rebel We have a member here with over than 100,000 miles on one and still going well and all original

Changed the oil right off, seemed a little dark and watery. other than that.
One would think any dealership worth their salt would perform basic maintenance and safety inspections on any bike taken in trade. I mean this wasn't Earl's Yoozed Bikez was it? ;)

Welcome to the forum. You can look at it several different ways, and who's to say what is right, fair, or true.

$2500 seems about right and a fair price for a 2015 Rebel from an individual, but usually with a lot less miles.

$2500 seems high for a Rebel with 8600 miles on it, but it is relatively new, so maybe that boosts it some.

$2500 seems way too low for a 2015 Rebel from a dealer regardless of miles.

Take your pick.

There have been many people who have paid more than that for an older Rebel or for one with more miles, however there are many more people who have paid much less than that for a Rebel with much less miles.

There are lots of Rebels out there in good shape going for $1000-1500, but it requires patience to find them, and dickering to get the best deal. There are quite a few non-running Rebels out there that can be had for a <$500 whose owners ignored them for too long, that probably only need a carb cleaning, but may also have blown engines, that are always a gamble. Then there are too many Rebels sitting in dealerships who want $2999 for them to support their overhead.

My personal Rebel was purchased when it was 3 years old with less than 500 miles in pristine condition for $1400 from the 2nd owner whose wife would not let him ride it after he bought it from a female who learned to ride on it and then moved up.

Only you can determine which is right for you, or whether you got a good deal on whatever you bought. My advice is quit worrying about whether you got a good deal or not, since that is water under the bridge in the rear view mirror. Just focus on the view out the windshield, and enjoy your new ride.

I think the price is in the general range of fair, especially with the seller being a dealer...About the only thing I can think might be needed would be a valve adjustment although I forget the mileage recommended for this service. (Additionally, this I a relatively "easy" do it yourelf task for many bikers)

I bought my first bike new and still have it. Despite the recent pricey repair it required, it was worth every penny in new-purchase-price for the last 20 years I've been enjoying it...simply put you can not put a price tag on miles of smiles.
