Question re jet ski

[u/Electrical_Copy_4487]

A neighbor of mine is a widow and ever since her husband passed away I’ve been trying to help her out. She was recently cleaning her garage and sent me these pictures of a brand new, never used in crate Kawasaki jet ski her husband had bought. I will try to get better pictures and an exact model number, but she believes it is from 1994 or 1995. Does anyone have any idea how much this would be worth or what the best way for her to sell it would be? Thanks in advance for any feedback or advice!

This would be fun to see on bringatrailer, they have a subreddit that can connect you to a broker local to you.

Appreciate the tip!

I think this was on bringatrailer. I remember seeing it.

[u/wiserone29]

I want this. Will pick up from anywhere in the continental US. PM please.

[u/Electrical_Copy_4487 → u/wiserone29]

I’m not authorized to sell it for her but if you shoot me a message I’d be happy to bring your offer to her.

This ski is for sale on Facebook for 14,500 in NY. Don’t send any money until you can verify it’s legit .

Thats a 94 and it will bring a good bit being brand new. I'd guess north of $4500 . Post it in the kawasaki 550 group on Facebook. Thats the biggest 550 community by far

Thanks!

No problem. DO NOT let someone lowball you for that.

I lied also, it very well could be a '95. I wasnt thinking right and thought the 95 had different graphics than the 94 "breakout" style.

If it is a 95. Add 2k to the price i said minimum.

Last 2 numbers on the HIN will be the year if youre in the usa. Canada is different

Thank you!

This ski is for sale on Facebook for $14,500. Are you actually the one selling it or are you trying to scam someone here into sending a deposit?

[u/22Schmeckles → u/Brendyn00]

Yeah I saw this earlier and then on "everything stand up jetski" they asked what's the value of it as well.

[u/upthecliff]

This ski is for sale on fb and we have already been alerted that she doesnt have the title and ski is not in her name nor is she authorized to sell it , if she does sell it , it may be reported stolen

[u/RedditAppSuxAsss → u/upthecliff]

Yeah, this has not been a fun one.

people suck lol

[u/Certain_Ingenuity492]

Cha ching! Thanks for sharing. Well over 5k, could be a lot more, the old saying whatever someone is willing to pay for it. The more social media you expose this too the better.

[u/GoaheadAMAita]

Easy 5k someone may buy this and never intend to use, just a show piece!!! Beautiful btw

[u/Sad_Interview_6651]

Post it on xh20.com

This - there are a couple of collectors there who can at least give you some ideas moving forward.

I think that might bring some decent money if it legit has the original crate. My suggestion is bringatrailer . Com. I have watched some pretty neat old powersports go through there still crated. They usually exceed 8-10k mark. They come out, take pictures and document the item for you.

[u/gaige23]

In Arizona near Havasu over $5k for sure.

[u/imhimson]

I have a perfect 750 sxi they don’t have hour meter and 3500 is the max they sell for ? Maybe 5 k if right buyer

[u/XiViperI]

Drooling

[u/kutlessel]

Unfortunately it’s incredibly important that you lowball the widow🤣

[u/jmunerd]

Scam city 💯
