Default New guy from Mississippi Gulf Coast

Looking for a good used two seater for my 10 and 12 yr olds. Came across a non-running Carter Talon that is in otherwise new condition. I was pleased to learn that Carter was an American company but then learned they've been out of business since 2010. Search revealed that many parts are interchangeable with other buggies. I'm an experienced mechanic and amateur fabricator so not much scares me but I'm still leery of a buggy from a defunct company. Any advice is appreciated.

Honestly the drivetrain is fairly universal. Where you would find problem may be in certain chassis pieces but even those you may find to be universal on a Talon.

I wouldn't be scared off of it just because Carter burned down.
