Title: Good price? You tell me
Post by: smoker on March 31, 2004, 05:53:08 PM
'96 GS500E, Black, nice paint, minor scuffs on engine cover (previous owner teaching his sister to ride, laid it left), ran fine (until I started messing with it, but I'm sure it's something minor that will be fixed shortly, ie, fuel air mix, vacuum leak...), 6.5k miles, two previous owners (I think the first was a girl).  Some very minor surface rust on header pipes, and on a couple of bolts, but altogether real nice looking for it's age.  I paid $1400.  Should I be bending over :( , or should the seller :) ?  I think it was pretty straight both ways, maybe I even got a  deal from what I can tell...  Just wonderin what y'all think...

Well I paid $1500 for my 1996 Red with I think 7k miles and a Cobra F1R slip-on. 2 previous owners couple dents and a little rust on the headers. So I think you got a damn good deal on yours.
