98k, zero rust, 2nd owner whos like 80. Only issue was some body damage which should be too bad to fix. Thing was mechanically flawless though. And otger than needing that rear quarter fixed and a deep cleaning was in other wise amazing shape. He’s picking it up for 2200 next week.

Yeah honestly i think so too. We figure about 900 bucks in body work and he’s god a sweet almost vintage jap cruiser. Well that and a deep as clean. But the mechanicals, jesus its cherry

That looks like $2500-3000 of body work to me. That will have to be cut out, a new quarter panel welded in, welds grinded smooth, and then painted. Is the title clean? An insurance company would total that car with that kind of damage. Make sure it wasn’t totalled, bought back, and now carrying a salvage title.
