Sparky-(Admin) 19,558 #2 Posted April 29, 2018 I personally think that’s a bit steep for something you can’t test. Imagine dropping $475 of your hard earned dollars to find the motor smokes like a freight train and the hydro tranny is shot. And if that was the case it would tough to part out in an attempt to get your investment back. Very risky in my book at that price point. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are too many potential problems to ever pay that much for a non-running GT-14. I have a GT-14 and love it, but without driving it you have no idea if the ignition system works or the transmission. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith 21 #10 Posted April 30, 2018 Being a friend he'll let you try to start it. If he is close by that's what I'd do. There is no hurry to sell. Take your time and check it out. In the least you'd be helping him out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
