Corvette

[StoneWoods]

I may be able to buy this corvette. It is an hour and a half to two hours from me. The guy is asking $200. It apears to be missing the front rack and rear reflector. Is it worth the money and drive? It'll cost about $35 in gas. Should I pull the trigger?

That one is rough and it really depends on your intentions; buy to keep or buy to flip? V/r Shawn

Negotiate with them. If you can pick this up for $150 or so, you may have a great deal. Pictures can fool you. This bike looks like it will clean up very nicely.

I would probably flip it

To me time is money. The time getting this bike, cleaning it up, and working to sell it equals a pass in my book and not worth the hassle. Everyone is different though so if you think you can make money on it then go for it. V/r Shawn

I'd pass too I bought a clean one at Portland for 100 bucks more with both racks

That black paint wears poorly, and the top bar does look pretty rough. $200 is top dollar missing the rack, but if the fenders were real nice, and the seat had no rips, and the wheels were nice and dent free ( I'm assuming they are correct S7's and someone just put reflectors in the spokes), it would be worth that in parts. I personally wouldn't drive that far for it tho'.

I would pass.Corvettes are pretty common and finding one in nice condition is not hard.
