Inspection & negotiation
Prepared for the viewing, factual about the price
Two moments decide a used purchase: what you notice at the inspection and what you say about the price. Salomoto helps you prepare for both.
A checklist for this exact candidate
The inspection brings together check items from several sources — in an order you can follow on site.
Every motorcycle
Papers and VIN, tyres, brakes, drivetrain, steering-head, wheel and swingarm bearings, engine, electrics, test ride.
This listing
What the listing claims or leaves out becomes a check item.
This seller
They say the service was done? The checklist reminds you to ask for the invoice.
This model
Known weak spots as suggestions to check — labelled as general knowledge, not as a finding.
On site
Tick off, take photos, ask
Every check item explains what to look for and why. Record findings with photos, and export the checklist as a PDF.
- Guidance per check item, expanded when you want it
- OK, flagged or unsure — with up to six photos per item
- The inspection assistant answers questions about this exact candidate: 5 free per checked motorcycle
- Doesn't replace an inspection by a mechanic — and tells you when one is worth it
Negotiation · Salomoto Plus
Arguments before, not after
What you can back up — upcoming costs, inspection findings, seller statements — becomes a negotiating position. We don't claim a market value.
- A range derived from points you can back up, not from an invented value
- Your strongest arguments, with their source
- Alternatives to a discount, such as a service or tyres before handover
- A message to the seller you can adapt
Questions
About inspection and negotiation
Does this replace an inspection by a professional?
No. The checklist guides you through your own inspection. It can't judge whether a motorcycle is mechanically sound — if something looks risky, have a mechanic take a look.
Where do the negotiation numbers come from?
From this candidate's facts: estimated upcoming costs, inspection findings and the seller's statements. We don't know comparable offers, so we don't name a market value or a fair price.
Do you negotiate for me?
No. You negotiate — it's your money and your conversation. We don't promise any savings.
