Fox Carbide 150cc. Whats a good price?

[MetalMech]

I have seen one that was beat and left out side unprotected for $700. Didn't have the cash and it eventually sold

One that was well used, but also taken care of for $800. This one seemed like the best value, but again, didn't have the cash and it didn't last very long.

There is one currently listed, but its been up for a while so not sure if still around. It hasn't been used much and was garage kept, which is obvious from the photos. Guy wants $1500. Again, I don't have the cash, but I do have an item of equal value for trade.

So what are they worth? Can't buy them new anymore, and I really feel in love with the design after I saw one posted on here.

It really depends on how well it was taken care of and how bad you want it. If it doesn't look like has been ridden much or abused, then the asking price is probably close to fair. Go check it out and talk to the guy. You never know what kind of deal can be made.

Tell him you lost out on one for $700 cash. Offer him $700 (if you have it). If he says no, then tell him you have (whatever you have) something that you believe is worth much more and that he needs to add a lot of cash to make it fair. Dont let him know you want it really bad, or just trade him straight up. Be calm on the outside and speak confidently and build up how awesome your item is before you tell him you want him to add some cash to the deal. Its like trick or treating, you wont get any candy unless you ask for it.

I think you CAN buy it new...

it's that kart, isn't it?

made by American Sportworks now
called ASW Quantum/Carbide (~$2500 new)
or American Sportworks 7150

it now comes with a slightly modified bodykit:

Thanks for the info and suggestions guys. Yeah if I went the route of a new one I would seriously want the old body kit. Looks much better. Personally I would like to find a used one. Not just to save money, but one that needs TLC and a little bit of resto would still be considered a project, and would be fun for me. Plus I would want to do some custom build up for what I have in mind for this kart. Will let you know what happens. Things are kinda at a stand still at the moment.
