Should I buy a 85 250es(just roller no motor) for $300 canadian money I have "some" knowledge about mechanics. or should I wait untill I get more money and buy a runner?

You might have trouble finding a motor for it for cheap.
I think that seems a little steep. I just bought a complete 85 250es today that should run if I put the carb back on for $200 canadian. I would say, lowball him and if he doesnt accept, keep looking.

ok thanks.

Yah, I'd say save up and buy a runner. A good motor for a decent price for that bad boy is not gonna come easy. By the time you're done sinking money into it, you could probably have bought yourself a nice runner.

[Howdy]

Your runner you would be hunting for might have a decent motor but need some parts to make it a true runner.
300 dollars for a roller that is basically complete except the motor would not be out of line price wise ( since Howdy just sold a 85 rear axle for 150.00 + tonight on ebay -his rear differential went cheap @ 80ish and change ).

Yep, I am VERY happy with Ebay lately. I just wished I had another axle or 2 to sell. lol

I do have a good running 250sx motor. I'm not pushing to sell it, but I will sell it semi-reasonably priced. Shipping to Canada would be the costly part.

I would offer $200.00 and if I couldn't find a motor around I would do exactly like Howdy did and part it out. Geez a good set of used rubber will sell for half that. Also if would depend if the plastic was good. Honda workhorses with good plastic are fetching a good dollar nowadays. I wish that I stumbled on that deal that yamahauler got!!!

[Petcock]

If you parted it out on ebay you would probly get over $300 for the rear end. By the way jbezan, we picked it up in McCreary, MB 40 miles north of Neepawa.
