Looking for Opinion: 1990 TRX300FW

Hi all!! Really quick here I’m looking for any opinions on the following ad….the seller seems super nice and like he knows what he is talking about. And he is only the second owner of the machine. What are your thoughts on the machine not moving issue?

"I have a Honda fourtrax 300 that’s in decent shape for sale. It needs work, but runs great. Has 4 new tires on it and a functional winch on the front. Plastics are in decent shape, and are not all smashed. Just a lil faded. Electric start does work. Problem I was having was the front end needs ball joints, and a CV shaft. The rear end was fine, but now makes a grinding noise and won’t move. I don’t think the gear is stripped, I think a bearing went bad causing ring and pinion gear to separate, because it tries to move but can’t."

He’s asking $500 and I’ve got him down to $400 so far but I just need some extra opinions as to whether or not this is worth taking the risk on. Attachment 24734
