RESTORING THE SPORT ONE PIECE AT A TIME. WHAT IS YOUR SLED WORTH? PAGE 181 |
I
GET EMAILS FROM OWNERS ASKING ME WHAT I THINK THEIR SLED IS WORTH.
THE WORTH OF A SLED DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS SUCH AS -
APPEARANCE
- CONDITION - MILEAGE - ACCIDENTED - IS THE MOTOR STUCK - TRACK CONDITION
- RARE MODEL - STORED OUTSIDE / INSIDE - ORIGINAL - HAVING TRANSFER
PAPERS AND SO ON.
I CREATED THESE PAGES TO GIVE BUYERS AND SELLERS A LOOK AT SLEDS THAT HAVE RECENTLY SOLD ON EBAY WITH THEIR DESCRIPTION. THIS IS NOT TO BE USED AS AN ACCURATE PRICE LIST OF A SLEDS WORTH BUT AS A GUIDE TO SHOW YOU WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SELL OR BUY A SLED FOR ON EBAY. JUST
REMEMBER - SOMETIMES ON EBAY - 2 BIDDERS DRIVE A SLED'S PRICE WAY UP OVER
THE TRUE VALUE BECAUSE THEY BOTH WANT IT AND THEN SOMETIMES A SLED CAN
SELL ON EBAY FOR A LOT LESS THAN
THIS
GUIDE IS IN NO WAY INTENDED TO TELL YOU THE WORTH OF A SLED. AFTER
ALL A SLED IS WORTH ONLY WHAT THE BUYER IS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.
I AM POSTING THIS GUIDE AS A SERVICE AND NOTHING ELSE.
I
DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE YEAR POSTED WITH THE SNOWMOBILE.

UP FOR BID IS A VINTAGE BOLENS DIABLO SNOWMOBILE. IT COMES WITH AN ORIGINAL BROCHURE AND 2 USED BELTS. I PURCHASED THIS FORM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND REPAINTED THE HOOD AND TUB ONLY. THE REST OF THE SLED IS WHAT YOU SEE. THE SEAT HAD BEEN PARTIALLY RECOVERED WHERE IT HAD TORN AT THE BACK BUT THE REST OF IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND ORIGINAL. THE SLEIGH HAD BEEN BENT SLIGHTLY AT THE HITCH AND STRAIGHTEN AND BRACED A LONG TIME AGO. THE TRACK SKIS, BOGEYS DECALS AND CLEATS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS IS THE CABLES AND CLUTCHES. THE SACHS ENGINE STILL HAS 135 PSI OF COMPRESSION. I RAN THE ENGINE WHEN I FIRST GOT IT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS OK AND THEN CLEANED THE CARB FUEL TANK AND REPLACE ALL OF THE FUEL LINES. IT HAS NEVER BEEN RUN OF FUELED SINCE. THIS IS THE NICEST CONDITION DIABLO I HAVE EVER SEEN. MY SON AND I WERE PLANNING ON TAKING THIS TO VINTAGE SHOWS BUT THINGS CHANGE. THE ONLY MECHANICAL THING WRONG WITH THIS SLED THAT I AM AWARE OF IS A VERY SMALL LEAK AT THE DRIVE AXLE SEALS. WILL NOT AFFECT DRIVING THE MACHINE BUT WILL DRIP ON A FLOOR IF NOT CORRECTED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A DIABLO THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO VINTAGE SLED SHOWS, THIS IS READY NOW WITH OUT ANY RESTORATION, IF YOU WANT TO FINISH DETAILING IT OUT TO MAKE A 10 OUT OF IT, IT WONT TAKE MUCH.GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING.
