Looking at a 2003 Roller with a blown Motor

Post by 80elkster »

Guys I need advice here I'm looking to buy a 2003 Kx125 rolling chasis that has all new plastics, graphics, suspension has been revalved for hair scrambles. The going in price is $800 OBO so I was thinking of offering $600 what do you think about the price? What have you guys paid for rolling chasis?

900 for my running 02 and it was in pretty rough condition (didn't matter since I was gonna replace everything (bearing, plastics...) with new ones. This was the only decent deal I found in the area after looking for a year.
It sounds like a good deal for 600-800 (assuming the valving is good to your needs.)

I think even 800 is fair, especially if the suspension is fresh and set up close to where you want it.

It is fair, and I doubt you pull it off, but it never hurts to try. You'll be surprised at how much people will drop before they sell. Plus thats $200 you could of spent on the hybrid.

Bought it for $600 talked with the owner all bearings were just replaced including suspension, head stock and wheel. Engine was just rebuilt but a hole in the radiator took it out. I'll be parting out the motor, pipe etc. Now I'm on a mission to find a 95 or newer kdx 200.
I'll post pics later
