Apparently dad bought it for son, son never drove it, dad did 10 practice laps in it twice and car sat for year and a half. Has front brakes and Mychron gold (if i remember correctly) Spent over 7 grand on it new and now just wants to cash out and is willing to let it go for $3500.
I felt he was brutally honest which I appreciated and even offered to advise me on purchasing a kart even if it wasnt from him. Also noted that he didnt want me to get a kart that would put me in over my head. When snow clears Im going to go to the track and test the world formula and the tag which he said would shock me how fast they are.
If there is a TonyKart distributor in your area, (200 miles or less) I would be all over that deal if I were you. That's a good price - even without the MyChron.
