Quick question about a Tomberlin Crossfire

[Zombient]

Anyone ever played with one of these? Looks like a big-kid kart to me. A friend of mine's dad want's to sell his for $300, not running, but I thought I'd see if I can bargain with him.

I'll post some pictures when I get off of work, but it looks like fun. How hard are these engines to work on? I looked it up and saw that you can still get plenty of parts for them.

I guess my question is, what is it worth?

GET IT..... ! They are good karts. Sold for big $$ new..... I have one as a project buggy. Good suspension, steering, and roomy......

For $300, you're almost getting it for free; even if you had to replace the entire engine, you could still sell it for a profit...

"Not running" could mean anything from a dirty carb or spark plug to a 2 piece con rod; whatever the case, it's still a good deal...

non engine replacement parts are $$. The frame and front suspension are amazing.

Check hydraulic brakes. Do they work? if not thats at least $150
Reverse? No workey? $150 replacement
Seats?
Tires? Rears will be about 120, fronts about $100
Bearings?
it all adds up. (besides engine of course)
axle?
frame?
steering rack?
a arms?
tie rod end joints for steering and suspension?
spindles?
e brake?


(also i bought mine for $60... the guy that sold it to me was moving, and it needs sooo much work lol, still collecting dust in the garage since the beginning of this year).
