I'm selling this for a friend. Located in Charlotte, NC. I did not build it but I will vouch for its quality and reliability. This is a very well put together buggy that works great and has enough room to haul the whole family over almost anything. Asking price is 26,000 obo. It is ready to wheel and the owner is willing to arrange shipping on agreement with the buyer. Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you'd like to speak with the owner about anything.
