Hey y'all, I hope you are doing fine.
I've discovered a used ET4 150cc of 2000 on Facebook Marketplace for 300 euros. I am really interested in buying it. The seller told me that the Electronic Control Unit is broken, and needs a replacement. I was thinking about either using it myself, or fixing it, repainting it, etc. and then reselling it at a higher price.
Does the asking price sound reasonable? Is there something I should look for?

Thanks in advance!

Dreaded rust underneath and along the seams of the front panel.
The ECU can be replaced by a bypass unit either from SIP or cheap eBay one choice is yours.
Forks and wheel alignment comes to mind as well.
Hopefully that helps. Sure others will chime in.
