new to the forum here. I know this is a 1299 forum but hey Im pitching my chance Lol. So I'm looking to buy a used 959 around $10,000. And I've been eyeing at several private listings for sale in NY.

1. 2016 959 arctic white, all stock with minor aesthetic changes(lights and signals), 7700 miles. Asking for 10,400
2. 2017 959 arctic white, termi exhaust, clear clutch cover, under 4k miles, asking for 11,500
3. 2017 959 white, complete stock, 213 miles, 12,000

I checked out the first bike in person and everything ticks of well. It's getting serviced at a ducati dealership very soon. But I can't decide if I want to pay 10,200 for a 959 with 7700 miles, when I can pay a little more for much lower mileage.

Your helps and experiences are all much appreciated!! Thank you.
 
First,

Make sure the suspension checks out and there’s no signs of wear and there’s good bounce and rebound.

Now, ideally I’d go for number 3 with 213 miles, but number 2 is also nice. For me it would be one of those two.

Check out youtube on used cycle buying tips. This will give you a good base to start from.
 
The desmo service is at 15k and cost north of $ 1200 to have done a bike with 7700 mi is half way there vs a bike with under 1000 mi.
Factor that in
