how much is it worth - The Flip Side - opinions appreciated

[BugsBunny]

Wife sent me over the hill to look at a 03 Blaster, took a quad ride over the mountain, bike don't run, FMF pipe & silencer, typical cracked plastic, oil injection been bypassed (who knows how that was done) turns over fine, compression feels low, been bored 60, tail light missing, dented front bumper, seat torn / splits, sprockets are borderline, axle berrings seem fine, tires crap on steel wheels - guy said it was burned up & needed a piston / rings.

Its a crapshoot - what would you offer on it? my two teenage boys 16 & 17 need every bit of experience in the shop they can get and the wife feels they learn alot so its a project scenario.

What should I offer on this PIG oh I meant project :-[ you gents would have a better idea on what its worth for a fixer & the disc brakes looked like a nice improvement.

Thanks, opinions greatly appreciated I:I

This is my daughters 96, the 2003 I looked at was not this clean.

200-300 tops is what i would pay and if its total crap just part it out and buy a nother one keep some part too.

$500-$600... The jug doesn't have alot of life left if its .060 over and needs bored again, and it sounds like it wasn't taken care of very good.

couple bucks maybe?? lol but in all honesty I wouldn't go much more 200-300.

just remember to offer less than you are willing to pay so you can get it super cheap or negotiate up to what you think it is worth

I was thinking $200 - $300 range myself - last blaster I bought I was told the tranny was gone & it turned out to be the clutch was smoked.

This one don't have the feel / sound of a melted piston, but never can tell till the head is off.

Guess I will pop over the hill with some cash in my pocket and kick tires.

i would offer 200-300, sounds like it'll need a little bit of everything, but taking a quad all the way apart and putting it back together, while actually paying attention to how it all works would be a great experience for the boys

$300 tops. But it depends on where you are and what a good one is selling for.
