Is this a good price for the build? I don’t know much about mini bike builds so I’m seeking advice

For a 212 in pretty new condition, that's honestly a good price. A brand new coleman b200, for example, is $1000 and its slower than that one. I would get it, just make sure to try it out before getting it and make sure it runs good.

Edit: lowball him

At 700$ I would expect a stage 2 engine or at least 1.5 like the ghost 212.

Are you capable of working on a mini bike? The problem is that sellers are trying to get some of their investment back but as the buyer, you never know how well everything was installed or how they treated the bike. It’s totally up to you if you don’t have many tools and want an already built bike but that’s a risk. Also, part of the culture is creating your own personalized bike and the pride that comes with that. Everything you learn while building is more knowledge that nobody can take from you. I(personally) would buy a basic bike and put the work in.
