Lie I said, I'd come at him with the absolute worst-case scenario and a low offer. See if he bites or if he doesn't want to flex at all on the price. Just because the carbs were cleaned a year ago doesn't mean that they aren't clogged up with a year's worth of dried up gas or even that the job was done right.

Alright, I'll come at him with $500 or so in cash. He's a kid who needs money hopefully the green paper can sway him.

Welcome!

Welcome here. WB gave some solid gold advise there. Could still go either way, worst or best case scenario, but at least you'll know what to scrutinize. It's def worth the try.

Off: you may have seen this before but just for laughs..

Yeah I have all that stuff written down to check, a little silly i guess but I want to be thorough.

About the "Killing a Toyota" vids, they come up about once a week on the Toyota forums. But I gotta be honest it's true, they are unbreakable. My 4Runner has 300K on it.

The issues with that bike may sway most folks away from it, but that's how I got such a steal($400) on mine. It was basically a basket-case due to the P.O. dismantling it. I will have mine on the road for well under $1000 total investment, and most of the stuff that's mentioned are things you would probably go thru before riding it anyway. Good Luck!




Hmmm, did somebody mention something about 4 wheeling?

Thanks for the luck! It's great finding good deals on Craigslist.

4 wheeling =

Well guys, I bought the Katana yesterday for $600.

I am picking it up later this week. Pics to come!

Congrats. More than you were hoping to pay but still not a bad deal (probably). Keep in mind that just like any used vehicle, you've just bought someone else's problems. Expect the worst and then the only surprises will be good ones.

Yeah I am fine paying $600 I think it's a good deal IMO. I know for a fact that the vehicle runs and doesn't burn any oil (that I could see) no blue smoke on startup.

You make a good point there about expecting the worst. I've bought used vehicles before so I know how that goes lol

[Swimmerboy]

Going to pick the bike up this weekend (neither of us had ramps to get it into my truck) I will get some pics then!
