Title: Wait, WHAT?
Post by: PaviSays on October 19, 2009, 02:29:51 PM
I paid $1400 for my '97 E model, and now there's an '04 F model for $1000?!

Something's fishy here.  Or maybe there's just a really good deal on the table.  I'm not interesting in buying a second or replacing the one I have, but damn, someone needs to investigate.

sounds fair to me, if it runs. there isn't much difference between a 08 and a 90 really

They better knock that crap out. I'm gonna put my GS on craigslist this spring and I'm hoping to get at least $1000 out of it. It's a 1991.

Who knows what the deal is. He might be the 2nd or 3rd owner, he might've lost his job, and took into account the fact that it's gone below 40 degrees a couple times this past week, nd just wants it gone. Bad economies are great when you're looking to buy!

that's wayyyyyy less than it should be. there must be a reason why it's so cheap.

Would you really buy a GS500 that is tethered to a lawnmower just to keep it up? Its more likely salvage.. and yes they are worth more...

If its too good to be true.. well it usually is.

You could put a $150 motor in it if needed and sell it for 2K plus!


That's what i'd do, Bob!

I gave 25 for my 06, 2500 miles.  Good deal or Bad? I thought good.
