Buggy Prices


Im looking to get into now buggying but am unable to find one in my price range.

Considering the actual material only, buggys in my opinion should be 150 bucks tops 350 max for a comp.

I mean the parts are not being mass produced as we speak or not?

they should be the price of a good wheel burrow by now.

Does any one know of a good buggy (chinese/japanese) made.
for around 100-150usd? nothing for jumps ( only crusing)

now i can see the folding peter lynn being up there in price but dang.

help me out brothers! i want to buggy and not break the bank.

ps, i dont own a welder so i cant make my own

You are correct, the parts are not being mass produced.

When ever I think of how much something costs, I think back to square one; how much would *I* charge someone for making this item? Then I usually conclude that I'm getting a bargain.

Don't let your opinion of how much something should cost be determined by what you can afford. Sounds like a want/need issue.

Good call Steve.
Houston, so go and get that wheel barrow and see how far down the beach or field you get. :-)
Kidding aside, the demand is not there for mass production and and marketplace has decided for you what buggies are worth.

There was a buggy for sale for it think $150 but I don't know if it sold. just a rockville and they work but if you are going to spend $300 then spend the extra and get a PL. I think they are way better. Or you can build one out of wood, all thread axles, a boat seat and wheel barrow tires. I think if you do that you will find it was worth paying for a good one.
