[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 208985, member: 3959"] So I'm in the market for a cheap 2-stroke 250. I found this 60 day old post for a 2000 yz250 for sale on CL; [URL]http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/mcy/5827303373.html[/URL] I text the guy this morning, 2 hours later he texts back. I ask, "what will you let it go for?" He says, "didn't you see the price in the ad?" I said, "Yes, but that was 2 hours ago, and I've texted 5-6 other people about bikes today. Plus I'm driving right now and not in front of my PC" He responds back with, "$650.00 firm" Okay, so basically 1/2 of what he posted (1200). So after a bit a texting while driving I call him. I ask if it runs. He says no. He says it used to run great, but he messed with the throttle something-or-other on the top of the carb, I assume he means the slide. So I put it to you guys; Is this a desirable bike? Is their anything out of the ordinary about these bikes that I should be looking for? And what do you think it should cost? KBB trade-in is 915... I'm going to look at it tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
