This was the listing:
" *1986 ATC 350X, Second Owner
*95% original plastics (no cracks)
*Tip top shape
*Runs mint
Will not find one is this condition!! Please email for additional photos. "
And I found -
Smoked on start up, ripped fork boot, pitted forks, bent grab bar, automotive import cobbled exhaust, visible form-a-gasket on the engine, cracked rear fender, repainted and dented tank, squeaking suspension and swinger pivot.....
I had 1500$ in one pocket and the 3 other pockets had another 100$ each, I was the 1st to look at it. Very nice guy, if anyone wanted to pay about 1200$ he may take it after a couple of weeks.
I pointed everything out and told him that he was gonna get allot of unhappy prospective buyers. I told him it should be priced about 1000$ but I couldn't even pay that much.
Shame, I thought I stumbled upon a goldmine - I didn't even bother to ride it :cry:
