hey gus a friend of mine is considering buying a old honda but he does not know much about it but hear is what we do know
it is a 350
it is "about 4 years old"
it has a broken rear axle
and busted fenders
but the guy only wants $50 for it and my friend is thinking about buying it fixing it and selling it ,what do you guys thing

 

It's worth checking out, but it sounds like a "pig in a poke" to me...

Reckon it's stolen? Or fell out of a truck? I'd look at it....very carefully.

 

Yes...run the Vin# BEFORE you buy it.

Something sounds very fishy with it.

buy it even if it is stolen and you can turn around and sell it to a salvage yard for about 200 dollars

 

sounds and smells a bit fishy

800...

 

Try to find out if it is stolen. If it is, steer away from it. Even though you didn't steal it, recieving stolen property is still a crime, and if they can trace the original owner, it technically is still theirs, no matter if you bought it or not.

If it isn't stolen, however, it is definately worth $50 if it is all there. Even if you can't get the engine running, you could sell the wheels, front axles, and other misc. parts right here in the classifieds for more than that. If you can, you might be able to find the parts to fix it fairly reasonable. If you can find one with a blown engine, or front end damage, you could put 2 together.

 

Buy it no matter what. Then part it out. Make some $$.
