I ran across this looking for my own ad selling a sprint kart. My buddy autocrosses one of these and never has any competition. I wasn't really looking, but if the costs are correct, the guy is taking quite a hit on it. What do you think?

Why do they put $1 in the price when in reality it's not?

That wasn't really what I was asking about.

IF, and that's a big if, the engine and trans are as stated (contact the builder) it's a good deal. It will need sorting, and I don't recall seeing a radiator or plumbing for one, (Brakes?) but, worth persuing. Yeah, the guy is taking a hit.
Second look: it appears to be set up for roundy, round racing, with offset to the left--look at the knerf bars in relation to the frame.

And also, those part may be obsolete if the projects been sitting. Rule changes, technology, etc may make it worthless - Do your research.

I'm no expert, but that frame has a lot fewer bars than my 125cc shifter. I'd do plenty of homework. It would be a lot to pay for a kart you can't race anywhere. And I don't know anywhere you can race with 90 HP.
