Dr jellyfinger Zen myself are in the middle of negotiations with a guy selling a 2005 Suzuki DRZ 400 s. Its got 14,000 miles, a clean North Carolina title, it has been garage kept, is basically all stock, supposedly in excellent mechanical condition, but cosmetically is far from perfect. There's surface rust on several spots on the bike including the 4 tubes the exhaust pipes and the frame, and the muffler is pretty beat up as well. It also has non OEM replacement side panels as well as a non OEM headlight mass. Because of these replacement parts it's making me think that it got down lay down harder or more frequently than the seller is admitting. He is asking $2000. Here is the Craigslist ad for reference followed by all of the pictures he sent K of all the damages.

Personally I don't think I'm comfortable paying anymore then 1700 dollars for this bike but maybe that's just me and the fact that I would be buying this site unseen as dr. Jelly fingers would be driving to meet the seller as well as transporting the bike back up to me. what do y'all think? Is $2000 still a really good deal or do you think I could do much better? The whole point in buying this bike right now is because it would be such a good deal and I don't think that I would find 1 for this cheap ever again. I need a bike that's good to go and won't give me any problems so I can just put an electronic shifter on it put, my prosthetic leg on and learn how to ride again on a lightweight low maintenance bike. If I end up having to do a bunch of work to this bike or having to put a lot of money into it then it completely defeats the purpose of buying it in the first place. Thanks in advance.
