Thinking of buying a engine kit from craigslist help please?

never heard a price that low, but it is so low that I would go look at it if I were in that area
 
I have called him, he said he could do $75 for the motor kit or $145 for bike w/ motor on it. im going to try it out
 
if it isn't a new kit, but rather one that has been installed on a bike already, then you may have problem - bought a dead bike once for $125 that looked nice & motor wasn't seized

turns out the guy had built a few and had put all his dead parts on this one bike - dead CDI, dead mag coil, cracked carb and the motor had both mains loose so that firing it up caused the seals to lift at high rpm - oh yeah, and the rear derailer had broken spring

still looks pretty tho, so I've fixed all and am keeping it for myself
 
I have called him, he said he could do $75 for the motor kit
How many $75 full kits does he have for sale?

Did he happen to say why he was selling the kit/s was so cheap?

$75 is a below wholesale price for a kit and about what the biggest
importer Gasbike.net pays for container loads of motors after all their
costs.

Anyway please let us know how the deal goes. :)

It's a deal if you can pick it up yourself. If he ships it to ya ($20+) Then it's close to the same price as a BGF engine. My last BGF engine kit was $106 to the door.
