oldslowsledder Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've had this for over 10 years, used as a yard sled and running around a bit on the ice. The bad.......mice enjoyed the seat, tree fell on a perfect hood cracking it and windshield (still shuts fine) and the lower steering pivot was repaired years ago but still functions fine. The fuel tank if filled will drip where the shut off switch is, possibly just reseal threads but I never bothered. The good........like the Energizer Bunny it just keeps on firing up, drives and stops. Electric start will work with a battery and key switch (or install push button). Headlight, tail light and speedo all functioning. Handwarmers work better with a battery installed. Has a used spare belt Did a compression test by myself with hand held gauge, seems to be decent. It's a 440 fan Cooled single carb Suzuki, believe the mileage to be original and accurate. It's covered with an old boat top, secured and works well I think $500 is fair for a running, driving beater sled. Let me know what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Great advertisement. Honest, and to the point. Reminds me of a poster I saw in a West Virginia watering hole (the bar was basically condemned, highway going thru it in a month. Older lady, Verna, ran it - could have been Granny from Beverly Hillbillies. A great stop, true Americana. Some good, some bad, 'is what it is' Good luck with the sale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After several days of responding to 'Is this Available?', answering the same stupid questions that are clearly covered in the ad, receiving messages at midnight and 4:30 am I have pulled the ads. This about sums it up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This about sums it up Selling anyting on some platforms is just not worth it, what a PITA. Hopefully if you have on a few forums, it sells there with usually less hassles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Yep, I think for some it’s a mission or their job to just mess with ya. An old one is I'm out of the country, I’ll take unseen and deposit money into your account….ill send a friend to come collect….. I used to wonder why in todays age people still put their stuff for sale by road with sign, but maybe that is the best way now a days - the old school way! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
