anyone knows how to get a ball-park of what kind of gears are in the back... the fact that he doesnt know is bizzar, but not off-setting enough to pass up a deal.
inspect the paint best you can... try and look "through" it for texture undernieth. if he hit macco for a $200.00 paint job, they probably didnt sand it, and if they did, did a horrable job. you should be able to see signs of a poor paint job.
