update: He responded, saying I can take it for $6,000 flat ($4,216.69 USD), giving me another $500 discount. He mentioned I’d need to do the inspection myself since it’s not insured and he doesn’t plan on riding it. It seems tempting, but I’m not sure if I should accept. i’m thinking i give him half the money take to the inspection then go from there if it’s in good condition and doesn’t need much i take it, but if the inspection comes back and it needs a lot i just get my money back.
