Advice needed

[MIG1773]

I have 2 manco 2 seater carts that I am looking at fixing up. One is a Magnum Express the other is a digno... Both need some TLC. My plan is to keep one and sell the other to buy a nice 1 seater. My question is this, in good condition and proper running order, what can I expect to get for each of them... AND repair costs not being a factor, if I were going to keep one, is there one that would be the better of the two to keep? The planned use for this is to have a fun kart my wife and daughter can use and possibly do some light off road riding.
Thanks for any advice you may have.

keep your red one sell the green one

That is the way I was leaning ... now tell me why you think I should do that.

Red one has suspension, keep it and sell the green one.

Never ridden in one with suspension, how much difference does it make?

huge difference. keep red sell green. Green looks in better shape for resale, get more in return. red one can be improved and will hold up better to off roading. plus red has more room and power train in more adapted to off roading (if has converter on output shaft)

if you got real serious, update/upgrade suspension, purchase from junk yard quads, put little bigger tires on front, possibly the rear too if necessary. Then pound the dirt hard!

in AZ you would get about $350-$450 for the green one. thats a high estimate. thats if it ran and had no issues.

Keep red sell green. I have one like your green one. If it has a 6.5 hp engine I would say $500, if it has a 11 hp engine, $650. (that is if you got the kart in 100% working order with new back tires, paint, possibly a new engine, new bearings all around). If you just get it running I would say $300-$450.

The best way to sell them is on eBay local pickup and Craigslist. Take 5 really good pics, tires, engine, steering, whole kart back, then front. Make a video of someone driving it. Post the video with your ad online and you will get a lot more interest.
