Im thinking of selling my kart i have now and buying this one. Do you think this is a good deal? It looks pretty solid and well made.

Kartless....
Other than lacking front suspension it looks good.

That design looks vaguely familiar, I think I've seen the plans somewhere. Looks like a pretty good start for the price. What's up with your current kart?

You'll need to put a bellypan in the kart you are looking to buy. It looks like it might be decent but it is so hard to tell from the pictures on what kind of job they did with welding.
Yeah i have some scrap sheetmetal that I can throw on the bottom. Would it be possible to put a gear reduction system and indepndent suspnsion on it and some bigger tires and make it a many rockcrawler? I think that would be pretty cool. I have an old Suzuki atv that I could take the suspension out of.

If you want to do something like that anyways, your better off starting from scratch.

Thats gonna be exactly like what my kart will look like soon, it is the same frame and the same engine.. After a little paint, and when i mount the new tires that i ordered. How much do you think i could get for it when its done? I have about $275ish into it right now.

With new tires and a real Honda on the kart you might, 450 is reasonable. You have the downside of the fact that it is a one seater, but if it looks amazing that may not matter.
Yeah, I bought a one seated so I can throw it into the back of my Yukon, it's very light so I can put it in by myself. I looked into 2 seaters, but they didn't seem as nimble and resonsive than the 1 seater. (the guy I bought it from had the one seater I bought and a manco streaker 2 seater, which I also tried)

As far as kart sales go, we sell a one seater to ever 20 two seaters we sell, I rarely even bother building them unless I already have a surplus of two seaters out for sale. A fancy two seater with full suspension is worth nearly 800 in my market, a one seater with the same features is worth 600.

Good, you should love the kart you choose. I was just stating a sad fact.
