Default Anyone in the know about Go-Karts????

In need of a little advice.

I have been offered a Kart at what i consider to be a good price. I have attached a picture (Sorry for the quality) & would appreciate advice as to approx how much to pay & any info as to the chassis etc etc. Is all i know, it is a TKM 100cc engine & a TKM chassis. Not sure on age but it is in fine condition & comes with stand/spares/tyres etc.

Help much appreciated

have a look on ebay at similar things. don't know much about tkm but don't think they're worth anything like as much as rotax max which can be bought used as a complete package for about £2k

what year is the chassis etc? what other spares? is it straight?

get it on the deck with tryes pumped and turn full lock each way and see if it bounces.

How much is it.

remember a push start 100 will get on ya nerves every time you come off its out push and jump in a 125cc is much better with the button start

£1000 will buy you a nice rotax 125cc kart with a few spares
