As they mentioned, price the parts. I think I would try and get the dealer to go ahead and replace damaged pieces... Or, if not, I'd go ahead and offer a price allowing you to still get the bike into the shape you want for less than $4k. Otherwise, another will come up before too long. They are pretty rare nowadays but many people don't know what they are so deals are out there. I got my 98 a couple years back with pristine plastics and lots of aftermarket goodies for $3750. At the time I thought it was high because I was comparing it to a CBR 600 of same age. I didn't know what the VFR was.
