Good Deal?? Need some input

[ExtendedProx]

Ok guys, i found a 2001 summit 800 144 it has a new primary and chaincase its a nice sled. BUT it needs a new crankshaft i can get a smokin deal on it like 600 hundred bucks. So my question is should i go for it or is it not even worth my time? What am i lookin at to replace crank if i do it or if shop does it?

Thanks for any input, it all helps

You need to find out why it needs a crank first and is the case ok. if you need a lower end it is going to cost alot to get it up and running, if you do it your probally looking at 1500 to 2000 dollars if a shop does it probally 3000 dollars so by that time you could have just bought yourself a nice REV 800 for that kinda money

i just put a 2000 700 together that i picked up for $600 it needed a crank as well i found one on ebay for $300 shipped . when i was looking there was far more 800 cranks on there for sale . seen them as low as $200 on up to $400 . anyway all said and done i have $1075 into it that is with the $600 i paid for the sled . i say if you can do it your self you should get it .
