IOW, the guy is ASKING 600,, hoping someone will pay it. You really need to get into it a lot cheaper than that to not get to the finish line with too much $$$ in it. You can spend a little more than 600 & get a bike that needs a lot less love to get it on the road. TRust me, all the stuff you see that needs done Is NOT all that needs done,, it never is,.& stuff doesnt sit outside for years & not develop "needs",, The seat may look fine today, but sitting in the weather for 3 years HAS affected it & it will wear at an accelerated rate now. Rubber parts that look okay now have had some of the plasticizers cooked out, theyre almost 30 years old, no one has taken time to clean & keep them alive. An 86 with so few miles isnt anything but documented neglect. I use fuser oil ( 100% silicone oil) from old copier machines on dashes & interior trim panels & motorcycle rubber & plastic. Thats the part of Armor All that is supposed to protect your car parts, the silicone. Sadly, Armor All is loaded with CFCs that evaporate & leave plastics dry & ready to crack,,I wont use that stuff,, once its been put on & its starts off looking all great, then the stuff evaporates & now the dash looks dry as a bone, demanding another dose of $$ & labor.. But, go to a copier repair place & ask if they have any fuser oil, any kind will do. I pay $5.00 a pint. A pint lasts me a coupla years, Just a few drops on a piece of Tee shirt cloth pulled tight on a fingertip spreads out nicely, I always do the plastic & rubber stuff before I wash & wax. You know how wax messes up the color of black rubber & plastic,, but it wont stick if ya rub some silicone oil on first,,makes a detail job look great,
OHH,, better hurry & get a few pints, new copiers dont use fuser oil. Lots of places have tossed their old stock out, & 100% silicone oil costs well over $100.00 a gallon.
They guuy is either unaware of what the bike is actually worth or is hoping someone thinks 600 is a good deal.. it isnt.
