hi, i have been browsing online and have found it difficult to find a completed entry level shifter kart. i mostly see only do it youself chassis and engine and parts and stuff.....any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Here's one place to start.

Or just go to Google.com and search on "shifter cart (or Kart) for sale"

 

You can find them online at places like ekartingnews.com , nkn, or ebay. But your best bet is to go local. Shipping a kart, and buying one sight-unseen, could be a real pain in the ***. Typically any local shops will support 2 or 3 brands and a particular motor, making it much easier to find parts in a hurry, plus you get help with setup.

If you're interested in autocross, check out the F125 mailing list at http://www.yahoogroups.com . There are also karts for sale every once in a while.

Look to spend in the $3-4k range for a good, clean kart with a few spares that is maybe 2-3 years old. I bought an older one for much less money and wish I had spent more up front.
