Again. Pretty clean I'd say 80% it would need a new tanks and probably a good 40 hours of polishing, but it is not "excellent" at all. I could see 4500 if there was a GIANT market for 80s sport bikes in Milwaukee but here all the trendsters are just getting into 70s Hondas and cafe'ing them out.
He's not going to get anywhere near 4500.
His big thing is "all original", that's fine but I could poop in the woods and let it sit for 30 years and what's left would still be all original.
The trouble with that analogy, mate, is that you could poop in the woods all you like but now and in 30 or 40 years it would still be a worthless pile!
Good luck talking him down. If you can't, refer him o Ulvetanna.

Show em... what's he gonna do past say no... I get not wanting to be a dick.. However, business is business. It's his job to get the most $, but it's your job to buy em for the least...

This is a business deal. You need to be distant. Once emotion is involved you are lost. If you feel it is too much just walk and never look back. Just look for another. But if this is it then you have to pay up and again never look back

Hahaha. That's exactly what I was saying. It really means nothing to me that the dented tank, dry rotted hand grips, bubbled covers, and dented tank are all original.
