Not to be out done by "My $250 KX250 1986" thread seen here:

Just picked up like 3 hours ago a 1986 KX250 for $300
The BAD:
Does not run.
Mikuni VM round carb.
Reeds.
Don't see coolant. Where did it go? The seller didn't have an answer.
Lot of oil under engine. Shift shaft seal leaky? Most of it is red filter oil?
Rust in a lot of places
Seat mounting tab on frame has been spot welded.
Rear brakes pads almost gone
Cylinder has a lot of vertical scratches and unknown bore.
Gas looks brown.
Someone painted the carb boot and it is flaking.
Pipe has dents.
No case saver.
Should have tried to offer $250
The GOOD:
Cylinder is sleeved and has compression.
Has spark.
Front forks not rusted. No leaks. Feel good.
Rear shock good and not looking stock with no leaks.
Brakes work.
Shifts in all gears and turns the crankshaft.
Oil is clean (new?)
Clutch basket is not grooved.
Pro Circuit Pipe / DG Silencer
Seat cover
Plastics and tank
Rims / rear tire
Chain / sprockets ok.
Frame/ triples / bars / swingarm
Grips
Air box carb boot (I have three bad ones)
Air filter
Nut and bolt heads not all rounded and stripped.
Radiators
Carb boot
Pretty much complete.
