Is this a good deal?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if this was a good deal for a gz250
1999 Suzuki GZ250 It has about 2,600 miles on it. the guy wants $700 for it. He said he didnt have the title for it. What do you guys think? Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Is this a good deal?
Too many unanswered questions. How much of a problem is lack of title in your state? If you can't register it, it won't do you much good. Have you seen the bike? What kind of shape is it in? Does it start and run? How does it look? How old are the tires? Is there a service record?
The price is very low - low enough that I'd be leery, and check everything out very very carefully. Heck, could even be a stolen bike.

Re: Is this a good deal?
hmm thats pretty low mileage for a bike that's 11 years old - was it just used for Summer riding? - when you say he doesn't have the title do you mean the model of suzuki? stick a few pictures on here and we'll identify it and hopefully be able to see if there are any obvious problems

Re: Is this a good deal?
Yeah the picture in the link is too pixelated to see any real detail - let us know of he sends you any more - as for what to ask him - dhgeyer's comment has a list there and would be a good place to start - also ask about the battery, previous owners and how long it's been declared off the road for - seems like a lot of questions but 700 bucks could be a lot to loose or only half the price if you have to get something major done to the bike after purchase
