The chrome was white and all the rubber including the tires were crakced or split. I told him that I talked to his wife on the phone and she said it ran good with the new battery. I sat and looked at him and he stared back..................about 3 minutes of staring later I asked if he could fire it up. It started right up but idled like crap. I asked if it was just cold and he shook his head yes. After about 4 minutes of idling I asked if the choke was off and it was. I grabbed the throttle and revved it 3 times and then it just shut off.

I could go on and on. Big disappointment. Won't budge from $1000. he told me they were only made 2 years (bull****) and there were only 4 in the state of PA (bull****)
Best thing you could have done was what you did.........walk away....
