    i really like the tecates. anyway your looking in the right place. try placing a wtb ad in the classifieds here. check ebay, they pop up on their every once in a while. try looking on craigslist and placing wtb ads on it also. try placing ads in your local paper. some members have them so maybe someones willing to sell you one? idk maybe this helps?

    keep on looking. like 3 wheeler said, use all your resources. they are a bit harder to come by but if you doing the right research you will find one. i got lucky and jumped on my 86 i think like 2 or 3 minutes after it was posted on here. paid 260, was a rust ridden cowshit covered roller, but i had myself an 86 t3 finally cuz i have always wanted both generations. little time later, after a complete teardown, go thru, some new plastics, and seat, i am just waiting to get a nice newer kx250 motor for it. and its done. like i said keep searching, one will pop up.

    Look near the bottom of the page and it seems an 87 was sold in the Milwaukee area after this March 8th ad was posted.

    Try Craigslist and make sure you search for a "Tecate" and not a "Tecade".
