 Used LT price?
I looking at a used 23 GDLT not sure of the year but it is a couple years old and it has about 30 hours on it and is asking 2800 but said he would probably do 2600. I still thank that is kind of high being a new one is about 3500 but maybe I'm just being cheap. What do ya'll think is it a fair price at 2600 or not?

 Re: Used LT price?
If I were gonna buy it I'd look somewhere between $2000-$2600. Depends on condition of parts and actual year/hours, maitenance, why hes selling it ect.

 Re: Used LT price?
I'm no expert here, but when I was looking for one I saw a lot of them in the $1500-$2300 Range. I lucked out and paid $600 for mine because it had a horrible paint job that I guess scared everyone else away. Spent another $200 on bearings, seals and Ujoint. Look around, I bet you find a better deal.

 Re: Used LT price?
10-4 on what Donkey and slim said. As much as autos and boats depreciate, the asking price is a bit high. If indeed the motor is that new, and all you're getting is the motor, I'd show up with 2K$ and that would be fair. Of course you should demand a quick perusal, start test. Good luck, the 23 is an excellent choice for an LT!

 Re: Used LT price?
Overall condition is great. Low hours on everything and just had the bearings replaced last year been uses maybe a total of 20 times and about 30 hours. But my thing is that this ole boy wants $2,600 and a new one with the galvanized dipped is about $3,800 which I would rather the galvanized dipped frame.

 Re: Used LT price?
If you are making a longer commitment, you should go ahead an invest in a new motor. I recommend BackH2O's 23 LT.

 Re: Used LT price?
Reason I want the GD is because I live here in LA and it would be easier for parts and work that I couldn't handle.

 Re: Used LT price?
Great motor but a little high. Mine is a couple years older and I paid $1500 which I thought was fair. I am in Nebraska so surely these motors are more plentiful where you are. If 2000 doesn't buy it I would keep looking. Make sure to check the bushings, prop, u-joint etc. Parts are cheap but do take a little time and energy if you do the work yourself.
