Silver wheeled, the cheaper one. :lol:
We're going to check it out next Saturday. It seems like a good seller, he was brutally honest about it to his own detriment. I dunno if we had a bad phone connection or if he was a mumbler but I had a really hard time understanding him. The jist of it is he used to commute from somewhere in WV to Lorton in this thing until it started burning oil. I dunno how quickly, but he says it still runs well enough but wouldn't recommend using it as a long haul commuter. It's got rust on one rear fender and the weld on the rear muffler is broken so it won't pass inspection. It also won't pass emissions for an undetermined reason. About 200k on the clock. Asking $1k.
The plan is to bring a compression tester and OBD-II scanner to see what's going on with the oil burning and emissions thing. And a jack and flashlight to make sure the underside isn't totally rotted out.
Got any tips or specific things to look for? Thinking we could grab it for like $800 if we waive cash at him. :dunno:
