I'm going to take a look at this. I'm guessing 250sx with a 350x front end? What's your guess?

UPDATE - see below for comments after I saw it.

I think your right on what it is. The front end looks bent from his pics. I'd offer him a him a hundred and see what that gets ya, he obviously doesn't know much about it.

What in the pics makes you think the front end is bent?

The bottom half of the front tubes don't look like they line up with the half in the triples. Decent price, like how he said if you can get it started it's yours for 200, so if it doesn't start is it going to be cheaper ( I would think) or higher?

So I just got back from taking a look at it and WOW...

First off the people: I stepped in dog vomit (could have been human if they were eating do food) on my way to the garage. Two male Caucasians early 20s in a garage, one can't sit still and has a tick; the other sits and chain smokes. Smells sweet, musty, and somehow toxic...I haven't been around drugs, but I'm guessing they were smoking meth... (I should have just walked right out then)

I spent one minute tops looking at the bike - 350x front, 250sx rest. Kick start doesn't go all the way back up and only seems to move piston maybe halfway up/down. shifter has a lot of play, the rear end was at a weird angle and shock was squishy...something was def wrong.

I said I'll give you $50 just so he won't take it and I can get the hell out of there, he wants $150 and will call me if he reconsiders. Yeah, I'm not going to buy a 3 wheeler of a crackhead!

(I know, crackheadslist - you get what you pay for. I need to start carrying a gun.)

Ya never go look at something alone ALWAYS bring a friend you never know who your meeting. I wish illinois would allow concealed carry but the people and chicago won't allow that...ahh the great state of illinois, i soooo need to move.

if you dont have a friend to go, you can do what i do- have them meet you at a public parkin lot where theres plentya people all the time. i usually meet them at a QuikTrip along an extremely busy highway thats 15 minutes from home, so theyre nowhere close to where i live

I've bought a lot of things of craigslist and never had a problem (I know that doesn't mean there will never be one) and if it's not a good area of town or I get a bad vibe on the phone I just don't go.

Just kills me that people are that stupid, but never surprises me.

I do carry my friend when I do CL dealings... My buddy Smith, or my buddy Ruger always are up for the ride....

I live right near Elkhart, Indiana...it's known for meth; plus Obama has visited us numerous times due to the awful economy...he was saying he could fix our town - guess how that has worked out...

i like how he said he needed more room, from the looks of the pics the garage was empty for the most part atleast where it was sitting. probably needs more room for his lab if anything. down here in arizona id suggest carryin every time some of the houses around here are a good way from anything tucked in the mountain valleys. thank god for az's gun laws.... or should i say what gun laws :D

Aw yes the CL skanks. It amazes me how they can use a computer.

Heres how it goes when you sell to crackheads on craigslist, they call any hour of the night, ask where your location is because they can use a computer to find craigslist but not mapquest to find your town, immediately try to lowball you without asking anything about the condition of the item for sale, ask you to deliver it because they have no driver license or a vehicle that runs, then tell you they are coming but never show.

Next buying from crackheads, You call and ask for pictures and you never get them, lie about the condition of the item then you get there and you're ready to ring there skinny meth necks, they are not home when you get there, inbred pit bull trys to rip you to shreds, Lost the title but will mail it to you yeah right, Runs but needs gas and will not let you go to Hucks 200 yards from there house to get 1 gallon of gas to start it, Drop the F bomb a million times when they tell you about how sweet the machine was when it was running. Have all there crack head friends at the house when you get there so your out numbered.

These are just a few past adventures Ive had. What sux is I usually have to let these people come to my house to look at stuff because i live like 12 miles from the closest town. I cant load up a 3wheeler and drive everytime and not have these losers show up. Its pretty scary when I lay in my bed at night and i have to think about which gun would be best to take with me outside if these tweaked out meth head show back up at night. After my last item sells I think Im done with CL for awhile I've had enough fun. America needs help.
