So I'm trying to buy my buddy's 1991 650sx
I picked up because it was going to be trashed at his old job and I wanted to start a new sport. it hadnt been used since 1995 but it started right up.
I took it out on a lake with my other friend and I had so much fun on it, and felt pretty comfortable on it for being my 1st time. It eventually started taking on water because the mid-shaft seal has a tear in it..
I offered him $500 but he kinda freaked.. I looked on craigslist before and seen them for around that price but they all have different stories like a missing title or one "small" fix.. I'm in the ft.lauderdale area and Im seeing solid clean title skis in the same engine class going for a lil over a grand. So then I was thinking I'd offer $800... It also has some mickey mouse fiberglass work on the nose but it seamed to be holding up fine...
long story short.. the skis rides great but I have to invest $130 for that seal and its not the prettiest looking 650..
I dont wanna bone my buddy but I'm looking for a deal on my first ski. What's a good price?
