Good luck with it!

Don't get so excited that you get ripped off or buy something thats already beat to hell.

If you're not sure about it, get several pictures and post them up here. Lots of folks will be willing to help you figure out what you have and help you figure out what a good deal is.

Do you know if you're going to buy it from a member of this site?

Just to give you a price idea, this is what i bought 3 weeks ago. I have been working on the damaged nose, and am almost done. I got it looking very good with a $8 fiberglass kit from walmart. I just need to shoot is with some paint, then I is going in the water this weekend.

I just picked up this 1994 550sx off of Craigslist for $400 and it runes great. It is almost perfect, except for as gash on the front.This ski is stock except for the ocean pro ride plate and K&N filter and SS prop. All the padding is perfect, and it has new hydro turf in the foot well. It also came with a new battery too.

Nope, I am painting it the same white. I think that I have tracked down the factory paint codes, and am going to have some mixed. I am only planing on painting the front part that was repaired.

PS- do you know what the guy is asking for the jet ski your are looking at?

the ski looks good. before you buy it ask for a compression test with you there. so you know hes not bull:):):):)ting you on whats done with the motor. 650 isnt a bad price but you should be able to get it lower. 550 is a great starter ski. good luck with that

You got 1 heck of a good deal bro, looks really clean, the gash shouldn't be a prob, sounds like you've got it handled. I got mine for $200, but still needs a few touch-ups. Lucky....
