Honda Spree value? I may buy one, been sitting years gas in

I am talking to someone about buying their old Honda Spree/ Looks pretty good, but it has been sitting for 5 years with gas and oil in tanks. The reason they took it out of service is that the battery would go flat - even when replaced with new. I just need to know a fair market value for a decent looking complete machine, which is going to need a lot of TLC.
Thanks all.

$100 sounds like a good price

just ask if you can take it for a night and inspect it, but i wouldnt pay any more than 150 for such a spree, but decide on what youll need to replace, and kinda deduct that from the 150 amount.

Yep. Good bodywork is key. If you can check that compression is 110-115, the motor won't take much either. $100-150 is about the range for as described with OK bodywork and compression.

I offered her $125.00 for the spree - she is not the actual owner - but has been storing it for the owner for some years. Anywyas will have to see. Anything to look out for on the mechanical front? Thanks again - Don Salem, MA USA

Like noiseguy said make sure the engine turns over and is not locked up.
Does it have a clear title? Depending on what state you are from you may need a title to get it licensed for the road.

Werd. Price assumes they've got a title, or you can easily get one. Ease varies by state. In MI, you don't need one; they're not even issued.

has anyone driven their scooter from MI to a state that req a lic plate? What happens then? Don't the states have an agreement to respect each other's registration requirements? Im just curious...

yes they do it is like when you go from michigan to ohio in ohio you dont have to wear a helment. as long as you are just passing through the state and not stoping there to stay. they cant do anything about it.
