this is what the ad says -

1982 big red needs some work. Engine leaks oil tires leak.Had running at the begining of summer I used it to haul fire wood but now it just sits. No Title

[dirtface]

What kind of price? If it's $50.00, yes. If It's $900.00, no.

Depends, how much do they want for it? The oil leak might be as simple as one gasket or it might need a complete overhaul who knows. Did he say anything about smoking while its running. If it runs but doesnt smoke it might be a good deal.

[Ken99287]

he wants $200, i think

[YTM 225dx]

Seems a little high to me. Try and barter down to 150 or less, and use the no-title thing as a bartering point. hope this helps

[Ken99287]

that's what i thought - too high! maybe if it ran well - i'll wait

[dirtface]

As long as it runs decent and doesn't smoke, it is worth $200. I really wouldn't give much more than that. If it would need bearings, cables ,brake pads, air filter, etc. This stuff adds up real quick and you can end up with more into it than if you went out and found a nice one. Speaking from experience, be careful, I've been had before.:lol:

Id offer $100 and go from there. Really yea its probably worth $200 but if you have to put any money into it then it will add up quickly!

I saw that for sale also. From the pics it's not worth it IMO.

being a honda, parts are pretty cheap and available. If you just want a trike to play around with, wouldnt it be a decent trike to start with? Some might say its worth 100 bucks, others 150. in the end after you get all the parts and get it running, is the extra 50 or 100 bucks really going to make that much difference? I say buy it, fix it up and enjoy it. At least you'll have a trike that you can say you built. Jim
