I wonder if the rot on roof was fixed... I only saw the one photo showing the roof but it might have been cleaned up when it got painted.

He didn't specifically say that it runs - just that it has Indiana plates and has a range of x miles. But he did say no warranty. Even if not running, would be a cool project.

Buy it! I was thinking that for $450 it would be in the kind of shape that the before photos show!
The alltrax controller is over $450.
I paid $180 for my citi car of course it was pretty much missing the body, My green Commuti-car was $3,500 and not that pretty, drove but was unrestored and needed some minor work for the lights, I felt that was a good price and wouldn't be suprized to see that one reach $2,000-3,000.
The drive train on these is so simple the question of "if it runs" is a non question, if it doesn't run it's a cheap fix, a $4 fuse, or a $50 set of motor brushes, worse case? I had a rear wheel bearing go out on my commuti-car last week and so far I'm up to $200 in parts, granted it's a 30 year old wheel bearing that wore out but all of the parts are avalible, they are just a little odd and they cost more due to their age and now being less common.

Hello -

It looks great, but the reserve hasn't been met and it's got 6 days to go. Let's see the price with 24 hours to go.

Yeah I have never used ebay so I dont really understand it all that much, like why do they not make the "starting price" the "reserve price"

Its up to $600 today
