Hey, I picked this up last night, New york is the ideal location for a site considering its both a state and a city, hah. Previous owner had owned it since 2001, it was dropped yesterday (something may have happened to him or his business because he owned 3000+ sites and most of them are dropping). Anyways, Where would you guys average its worth? A search of New "York Suzuki" wields 17.5 million results.
That wouldnt be true, suzuki is a common japanese name. Also a official Suzuki Dealer could put it to use, which would cancel any infraction. I have no plans on building on it, or creating a mirror site.
There are potential trademark issues, but you are correct in being able to get around them potentially. The problem would arise if you, without having written approval, put up an existing suzuki logo, offered to sell it to any one of the suzuki companies or even to that dealer who may or may not be able to use it. If they come to you, fine... If you go to them, not fine. All that said, there is some potential in the name, although it may take some time to come to you. I would estimate 50-75usd as a good selling point.
