Value of a parts Blaster

[Midwayusa]

Found a complete Blaster for $200. It runs but the rod and crank are loose. It is all stock in every way. Steel wheels and the original or original style tires. Anyway I was contemplating buying it for some of the parts I need for mine then parting it out. Is $200 a fair price or should I look a little more?

What year is it?

Depending on the parts you take off to use on yours I would think you would have no trouble getting your $200.00 back. Check eBay and you can see what parts are going for there or you can sell them here.

Agreed. I did well better than 200 on my part out.

It is a 2001. Cable operated brakes, TORS still there. I don't think the engine had ever been apart.

I only need thumb throttle, left front fender, stator cover and some small parts for mine. I have a twist throttle and a rough looking stator cover to put back on it so it would still be complete except for the fender.

$200 is a steal ive bought 2 of them a 94 and a 02 for $200 a peice and both needed a top end cant beat that i would buy it

 

[stabor1122]

Should be able to get $100 for the cases alone if they are great shape.

It is all blue plastics and has a fair amount of the normal stress marks. No breaks that I could see except the right plastic heal guard.

Picking it up in the morning and will probably list stuff here after I get the parts sorted for mine.

Got the parts Blaster this evening. Tore into it and was pretty pleased with what I got for the money. Got my parts in a pile with the other one and will further inspect this one. Piston was scored and the rod is loose just as he told me it was.

I need a grab bar and a tail light. If you have them for sale let me know.

Grab bar and tail light were missing already and I am hunting for those items for my other one as well.

 

[Midwayusa]

Seems I don't qualify to post in the for sale section so will have to settle for posting on Craigslist and E-Bay

 

[heyketz]

You can pay a little as $4.00 to become a supporting member. Then you can use the for sale and wanted boards.

yeah man 200 is a hell of a deal, u could sell the frame for 150 at least and the complete motor for 300 easy, carb 50 bux no problem, plastics 75 easy, and the list goes on man, buy it

Wow you got your self a great deal, was this by any chance on Craigslist?

No it wasn't on Craigslist. I know the service guy at the local dealer. He used to race and I hit him up if he knew where I could come up with some parts for mine. He took me out and showed me a Blaster he had inherited and was willing to sell me what I needed. Then said $200 for the whole thing. I penciled out what he was wanting for individual parts versus the whole thing and it was a no brainer. Still wasn't sure and that is why I posted the question here.

When I tore into it last night I knew it was a good decision. Just never know these days till you get it apart.

i think thats a great price. Then you can always part out the rest of it on here too.
