will be buying this 350X , he is asking $600 for it, here are the pics he sent me .. is it a good deal?? as far as i was told the brakes need work and the plastics are faded but in one piece.. looks to have a lot of rust also.. engine is good , tires are new but one leaks, electrical is good , all its actually missing is a broken tank shroud .. is $600 a good deal ??

That's not that bad of a deal for that, check the frame for cracks though

no cracks on the frame, engine was re-built not too long before it was stored ..

They come in a box or three when you pay under 600 for them everywhere i look. Sounds like a good deal, and i'm sure it will clean up really well, most maier plastics that sat in the sun will look like that, TC...

Looks like a good deal. I just got a good deal on one myself. There are a lot of naysayers out there thinking that they go for a lot more, and often they do, but if you look, have patience or stumble into the right place, you'll find good deals. They're out there to be had. especially in this slow economy.

Good luck, it looks good.

Congats! I built my 85/86 from pieces 2yrs ago. Wouldn't take nothin for it! It has become a great freind. One tip if I may, make sure the decompression system works. It realy helps kicking it over.

Nice deal for sure. If the frame is that rusty do yourself a favor, tear it down to the bare frame, have the frame blasted, and get it powdercoated. That'll stop the rust in its tracks.

SOLD! I'll expect payment asap. shens shens shens

no they aren't. lol.

that engine is worth the asking price though, especially if it was rebuilt properly.

I found my 350X in Omaha - bought the 1985 ATC350X and a 1984 ATC200M both together for $400.
Gotta love CraigsList!
