round nose value check?

[Mouthfulloflake]

A freind of mine has a 1996 SJ for sale, its got a factory dry pipe ( or type 9) NOT B pipe, solas impeller, buckshot 44 carbs, bilge and the basic stuff.

is it worth $3000?

it is REALLY clean, with a low hour fresh trued and welded crank and fresh bore/top end.

Wiseco pistons, protec head, water injection, jettrim mats, graphics decals, UMI bars and throttle, Boyeson reeds, adjustable modified stock CDI.

Ive been wanting to get it for a while, but it seems like alot of $$$ for an old ski, but I dont think I could duplicate it for that much money.

any input from you guys?

 

[bad93blaster]

stockers around here go $2500 if thats any help

 

[nikad58]

sounds about right on this side of the country.. buy it !!!!

 

[Scorn800]

that's about the going rate.
The cleaner the better.

 

[Mile9c1]

I haven't seen any advertised for cheaper lately. If it's clean... that's the most important thing.

 

[Shonuff]

Yep.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

its too clean to cut up though in my mind, I wouldnt want to ad footholds and stuff to it!

hmmmm.....

Ill think about it some more.

That's a ridiculous statement. They are SUPPOSED to be abused. :wink:

Besides, footholds add value.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

thats why I said IN MY MIND.

I dont like the pressure of trying to make stuff look nice after I use it!

( I use and abuse my junk!)

 

[Shonuff]

At 3K, I don't think you're allowed to use the word "junk".

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I know, thats what I am saying, that is 10x what my 2 other superjets cost me!

I give the round noses three different values. This is for stock ski's of same condition/wear.

96-97 2-2.5k Costs money to lose the purple, Ski's are getting old.
98-03 2.5-3.5k Love the blue
04-06 4-5.5k Black looks sweet.

 

[superrob750]

Its a pretty fair deal..

 

[hangtime]

It does cost some money to lose the purple .
The very first thing I did to my 97 was strip all the purple off and stock stickers .
It looked real nice after that .

I paid $2500 for my 97 with a stock motor and about $1000 in handling mods and real clean so $3000 with a b pipe sounds about right to me :cool2:

Wave $2500 in his face :sneaky:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

Ill get in touch with him, and prepare the wife.

I had been thinking about an older metric cruiser, but a newer SJ might be fun too.

then I could sell off a beater squarenose
