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.
