I got a reply from them and shipping is way crazy, but overall the cost for what I'd be getting doesn't seem so bad if it's all as good as they make it out to be. These engines are from "returned" or "recalled" karts that had the front end issues. So again, I'd be buying a mystery engine, but they say they test them out before sending them out. What that means, well i guess that's up for speculation. It could be a new engine from a dealership's leftover stock, or it could be one from a buggy that was sold and left out in the rain for the last 10 years.
I did also find another alternative over on the Buggy Depot website. It doesn't say whether it's a completely new unit, or rebuilt, but with shipping I'm sure it will be in the same price range as the setup from BMI.
With me being a total newbie with karts, I'll ask what would you guys do? Who would you trust more with your money? I've not read anything bad about Buggy Depot, but have read mixed reviews about BMI.
