For that year and mileage, the asking price is usually less than $1,000. Most GZ250s have less miles from sitting unused.

What to look for (it's a long list, therefore incomplete):
- tires, aged over 5 years: need to be replaced;
- does the engine smoke/sound good (should sound like a sewing machine or lawn mower, knocking sounds - no good);
- all electrical in working condition, battery charges OK.
- any marks from being dropped.

If it has been maintained well and it is in good condition, you can double that mileage if you take good care of it.
