Would you buy it?? 1982 ATC200

[hancadam]

I have the chance to buy this 3 wheeler. All plastics are good. Runs fine, but does have light smoke. All tires hold air, lights work, and brakes work. I think it would clean up nice. Would you guys buy it for 350? Also gotta love the crappy seat cover job.

hmmm........ I would offer him $250. I dont think its worth $350, but Im spoiled.

I had one of these a few years back. It was a beast. Couldn't kill it. Just give it a good check before you hand over the cash. Carefully check the frame in a non-suspension trike. If you don't have to invest any cash into it after the purchase, $350 isn't a bad price.....but $250 is better!:) Also check the metal gas tank for leaks, they were prone to rust. Seat cover isn't a big deal, but check the metal seat base. Mine was rotted pretty bad and they are hard to come by, even on eBay.

I think your 185s looks 10 times better. Unless I had a real need for it I wouldn't buy it. To me its just way too ugly.

Plastic gas tank???

[hancadam]

Thanks for the input. I want something a little bigger. My wife is going to ride the 185s. I know the 200 is not much bigger, but does have larger tires. I can make it look nice. The tank is plastic. I think a little paint and a power washing will go a long ways. Also I would recover the seat first thing.

[bigreddaddy]

A metal tank and a new seat/cover would make it look a lot better. I just hate the looks of those plastic tanks, I have several of them around here.

[hancadam]

I totally agree with you. If I buy it I would like to get one from you.

Those are on the 185s. I bought them on eBay from a member on these boards. New never used 100 bucks shipped. I love them.

I would try to go down to 250 and see what happens, but I would still buy it, not a bad deal.

I meant I have several of those plastic tanks, and they are all faded real bad.

[hancadam]

Oops my bad. They just look retarded. I like the retro look of the metal ones also.

[Brockey]

I would add some racks and a metal tank. To me those bikes are ugly without racks. Gives you to much to look at. Price isnt bad tho.

[hancadam]

Are there any places to buy racks new? Or is eBay the only option.

[stoney420]

u can try www.denniskirk.com for the racks

[threewheelin-feelin]
