Yup it all dependes, I was bidding on a used one, complete with accesories to run it, like the ez start, fuel bottle, rx battery pack charger and original box and inst. It was nice and clean, got sold for #200.00. New ones cost 280.00 or so.

The motor could be running, but does it have good compression, how many gallons of fuel went through it. For 100, a roller (w/o enginge) in good condition with electronics is a good deal, but if you can talk him down to lower it, then thats a better deal. You can get a new motor on ebay for less than 70$ and bodies usually cost around 15.00 for clear ones, and much more for painted ones - not $5.00. Its actually 18.00 plus s/h from traxxas.com for a clear one and 34.99 for the Prografix.

Just my opinion

See if you can get some pics so we can have a good idea on how it looks.
