Whats it worth(Suzuki 140)?

$5k still a little steep for me, but I already have one...

I would get a good look at the port side. Its hard to see the plug without removing the lower clam shell. Ask them to show you it and if anything has ever been done. It is possible the '06 has the solid engine holder with no plug.

Ask about the anodes in the port side of the head. If they would let you remove one to look that would be helpful. But once removed, you really need to replace the gasket/o-ring. By now, they should have been replaced as well as the fuel filter and thermostat.

Bradford has a good point.
At 12 years and 950 hrs, I believe I have already gotten my $10k out of my engine. I can afford to keep it going as long as I am confident in it. I wouldn't buy it for $5k...I would sell it for $5k and buy a new one...

I bought mine for 3000 and has 220 hours on it. Thats controls and analog gauge. 5000 sounds pretty high to me. That motor should be in the 3000 to 4000 dollar range. Any warranty with it? You need to look that motor over good before you buy. Research df140 issues and you will learn alot about what to look for. Its a badass motor....i love mine. I average about 4 miles to the gallon with mine.
