1986 Honda spree value

Hello folks,
New member here and first time posting.

I have had sprees when I was younger and am considering buying another to relive my youth. Lol

Anyways, I am considering purchasing a 1986 spree in perfect condition. It looks like it has been preserved from day 1.

All original, not missing any parts, low miles and low use. It doesn't appear this spree has even seen rain.
My question is, the price is 750.00. Is that fair?
Personally, I feel it is based on the condition. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Seems high to me, maybe $500-$600. Summer is here...time to inflate to prices!

IMO

For a pristine (non restricted) Elite or Aero ... maybe $750...

For an '86 Spree (much slower) but a year with the kickstart... but no glove box... maybe, just maybe $400.

wow and you're even where riding time of year is hampered by weather ....

even though it's prime time, I see quite a few $4-500 sprees on national craigs that were posted for a week+ ...

This 1986 spree is pristine.
But wow, I didn't realize 750 was way to high.

Maybe I should reconsider the price the seller is asking.

I went a little high since you said it was "perfect"

Based on your description i went up to $600 even though i thought it was still too high.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant.

I accidentally deleted the pics the seller sent me. It looked brand new though.

I am going to have a look at it in person tomorrow morning though and will take pictures.

IF you pay anything close to $600 for a spree ... read this info ...
http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Honda/Spree/Spree.html and perhaps info on other listed 50 cc scoots ...

and test drive it not only on a flat surface but make sure you take it up a hill

...

and read evil's replies again about the $600

GL either way ... might be pretty but it will still be a limited, single speed lil scoot ...
