Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some help pricing my go kart. The problem I know I am going to run into is that almost everyone out there looking on Facebook market place or craigslist are cheap a$$e$ and will MEVER pay asking price, most likely will just offer half at best... I am truly dreading selling this things.
It is a Manco intruder 2 that was converted to a single seater and I threw in a predator 420. It is stock except for a header and after market muffler and removal of the gas tank. Still has governor.
I got rid of the hex axle and welded in new mounts for a 1inch round axle. I also installed a dual master cylinder for brakes all around. There was a bit of fab work to get the engine to fit, and I had to fabricate new mounts for all 3 brake calipers. I also had to fabricate a custom steering setup since the pivot points for the suspension are so narrow I couldn't find a rack and pinion to even modify to narrow up the arm placement, so I made it from scratch.
All in all, after paying 650 for the frame, 400 for the motor, 400 for the 40 stores tav, and all other parts, I am in it for about 2100 - 2200 (I didn't keep receipts...)
I was hoping to sell it for like 2500 to 3000, but I am having serious doubts anyone will even bite. Just looking for suggestions, thanks!
I apologize for the mess, but I didn't have any recent pictures after I finished it, and didntbfeel like moving all my junk lol.
