Just pretend the carbs were gummed up from sitting and the tires were rotted...then you won't feel so bad.

Thanks for the comforting thought, but a dealer had this and said they went over it and it ran perfect.. just a little rust on a couple bolts and a spot of clear coming off!  Cry  Cry

Thats what mine was last year.  27k for $6K... i worried i paid to much, but it had almost new E3s, new rear brakes, and fresh carbs...

After looking around a little bit, I feel much better about it!

My friend you got a deal!! PPL are crazy with these prices and I've seen them from $7,000- 13,500 any year I/S!! I guess ppl are crazy enough to pay it and that drives the price up. Nah, new E3's, brakes and carbs is a deal for $6k.    cooldude

Ebay has people parting out good Interstates at least twice a month. I think anytime you can find a good low milage one under $7500. you did good.

I picked up a 99 IS with 78k the last week in December. The
owner was not able to ride any longer and wanted it to go to
someone who would care for it. It came with CB, Zumo 550,
hitch, HF trailer, and a few more goodies.

I was EXTREMELY LUCKY to have caught the first sale posting
at $3500 and went 220 miles with trailer to get it.
And no, I didn't try to talk him down  angel

Wow That was a deal! I don't believe I'd try to talk him down at that price...sometimes you might insult him and then he won't sell!  cooldude
