Still on the fence with New Lifan vs Used GY6--anyone know which company an '05 Talon GY6 is made by???

The worst part is, there are 2-3 spiderboxes on CL within 2 hours of me in the 500-800 range. 1 is pretty rough at 650, the other 2 i could probably get for 700-750 and in much better shape. While I'm tempted by them, I'm also wondering if I'd be wading into the deep end of the money pit and end up abandoning everything I've put into my little piece of metal mayhem.

Used .... For $550 i'd be getting a running GY6 with the wiring harness, exhaust and battery, extra jets, new TC cover gasket and a new starter solenoid (present one isn't working) along with:

"BRAND NEW PARTS: (NEVER ASSEMBLED OR USED AT ALL)
(pictured)Axle, axle bearings, brake rotor, sprocket, hubs, tires and wheels(rear)
(not pictured): brake caliper, master cylinder, reservoir, lines-all BRAND NEW

USED, IN GREAT CONDITION:
Swingarm(engine cradle) "

SOOOO, Lifan,+ Carb + exhaust + battery + switches + new sprocket & chain (my slightly bent axle really should be replaced too) +fab work

China GY6, + all of the above less carb

"Running" or barely so 3206/9 for 650-750 .... +??????
