Default Is this Banshee Worth it?

Been in contact with the owner of an 05' shee.
Aftermarket razor tires, 10 tanks of gas went through it, minor plastic scratching.
He seems inexperienced with ATVs, when I asked him stuff like "does it pull up the front end easily to wheely" he said that he never did wheelies or anything. He is 47, and bought it from the dealer I use. Ran premixed 2 stroke fuel from the dealer through it for the whole time. Comes with 2 basically mint cond. stock tires. Didn't get a chance to test drive it, but from those details, is this machine worth $3200-$3500?

to most guys its better to not have mods, its a fresh model with nobodys nasty hands all over the insides of a motor, and you can do any mods u want to exactly the way YOU want to do them. ill be on the market for a banshee here soon myself. i miss the 2 stroke power and smell.lol.

Haha, ya, also a white one with under 2 hrs of time on it and some hot chrome pipe on it for 6k. Price is WAY too steep. A lot of guys selling their toys around here with the economy the way it is.

Bringing home the banshee tommorow for 3.1k!!!Wow, test drove it today, it scared the crap out of me when I punched it :-P. And to my dealer who said that my 250ex had more low end than it, sigh, i guess they wanted me to blow the 6k on the new z400, b/c that was total BS and it had a good bit of low end imo. Anyway, thanks to all the advice from you guys. Turns out that it has some ITP Holeshots on the back, and the owner just figured they were called "Razors." Anyway, can wait to rip it up on that thing tomorrow afternoon. Also it was literally half as loud as my 250ex with the Big Gun pipe. Too bad I only have about 1 hour and 45 mins to ride until it gets dark....
