I want to buy 2 jet skis for my family. There is a car lot that has 2 1996 Seadoo GTX 3 seater jetski's with trailer for $6000. They both have less than 100 hours. Are these good jetski's? What tears up the most on them? They look to be in really good shape and each have covers, but what do I need to do to check them out to make sure they are not "repaired junk"? We are purchasing on a budjet. They seemed like a good deal, but I dont know how to tell what they are worth. Thanks in advance for all and any help!!!!

Not sure about Jet Ski's, I know that a ten year old outboard is NOT worth much, I would assume the rest is true for jet ski motors, Everyone I see riding a jet ski is beating the "Monkey snot" out of it, I would'nt touch them, stay away, how do we know how many hours are on them ? Just cause the dealer shined it up, and put a diaper on the jet ski's does not indicate how many hours on the engine, 100 hrs is = to two summers worth of fun, on ten year old units ? I doubt it, BEWARE !

If they are that old with less than 100 hours, Why? These are 2 stroke engines that will burn a lot of expensive oil, make a lot of noise, and the ride will be rougher.
There are SeeDoo dealers all over, have one check them out. They will charge about $125.00 per unit if in Atlanta.
If you want to take a chance, let the people take you to a local lake. If they don't want to you leave a car in their drive or something of value to you just to use the jetskis for a couple of hours. If you do this draw out a contract showing your trustworthiness to repair any damage you may cause. You can also have these folks allow you or have them take to a dealer to check out with the understanding of who is going to pay for this. If they really want to sell they may include in the package.
Trailers for Jetskis are almost giveaways at dealers. Dealers will sell at their cost just to move the Jetskis.

I agree with the above in some parts... Propose to the dealer that you want to take them to a reputable sea doo dealer/mechanic and pay to have them looked at; if they check out, he has a sale. If he won't agree; you have your answer... he's selling junk or doesn't want to take the time or chance the deal won't fly. If he isn't interested in making you comfortable with your purchase, walk away regardless of how nice they look... $6K is a lot of money to spend on something nice to sit on a trailer in the driveway and be burnt out...
IMHO... :) good luck
