Default honda FL 350

Come across a odessy FL 350 for $2700.00 looks like in good condition. And states engine newly rebuilt. Would this be considered a good price?

That's a fair price if it needs NOTHING. Often cheaper priced ones need stuff.

I got one for much cheaper, but have sunk a bunch of $$ into it bringing it up to par.

I would make sure it drives good and ask for as much info on engine build like who built it, what all was replaced. I just completed a rebuild on a buggy the customer paid good money for with a rebuilt engine. Power was not where it should have been. Found it to have low compression. Pulled the engine to find rings to look good but the cylinder was worn and needed to be bored, the head gasket was reused using rtv gasket maker, had new valves but valve seats needed replacement as well as worn valve guides. You will want to know who built it and how long ago. Ask to see receipts. People lie so be careful when paying high end for something people claim to be like new condition.

Thx guys. Well gives me an idea.

Yes. I'm going to look into the rebuild. They will need to verify what has been done to the engine.

Will drive before I buy. For sure.
