Help? Am I getting a good deal? A repair shop selling it for a customer. It looks great and I understand it was stored properly indoors for 4 years. He started it (out of the water), but won't allow a test-drive because I could "run it up-river and damage it."
He is the mechanic that took it out of storage and prepped it to crank back up. He had it out and swears it's a great craft.
He will provide a guarantee if it is mechanically unsound after I buy it, but he won't allow a test-drive. Shop is not on the water.
He says it's a good indicator of how it was cared for because it looks like new. Even the engine shines. No dings, scratches, or wear on vinyl.
He wanted $3000 with trailer, but is taking $2200.
What would you do to make sure you weren't being taken advantage of as a new PWC fan?
