Another "Good Buy" question

[Pogo123]

I've been offered a 2000 Tohatsu M15D2 for $850 and am strongly considering it even though I don't currently have a hull to hang it on.<br /><br />It's owned by a long time friend, so I know the engine, know that he used it regularly and keeps it well maintained.<br /><br />However, though it has a good reputation, I know very little about this engine or it's market value.<br /><br />Sound like a reasonable buy?

It's a bit high....Maybe. Small engines hold their value at a higher % than larger ones. If it is an engine that was/is/will be used in saltwater, then I think it is about $100 to high.

Thanks, Elvin ...<br /><br />I thought it just a bit high, too, but I know the motor, how it has been used and how it has been maintained, which has to offset part of that. <br /><br />It has been and will be used in salt water, but, as I say, it runs very well. <br /><br />I know very little about this model, but with an electric start and it's history, It's better than buying one I know nothing about .. even if it costs me a little more.<br /><br />Or I think, anyway
