Kawi Mule longevity

[RamsesRibb]

I'm wondering how long should a Mule last. I'm looking at one with 1700 hours on the meter. How much should it be worth? I talked to the guy and he said his wife was using it. He wants $1500.

My uncle has one, its an early 90s model I think. He's the 3rd or 4th owner and has had it for probably 8 years, its survived him and me using it around the farm with very poor maintenance. Parts are difficult to find due to the age. Slow, underpowered and undersuspended, terrible in the mud (2wd) but otherwise a handy utility vehicle. I think the "newer" units have much improved over this ole girl. Good luck

Btw, his is a gas version
