New to folders/should I buy this one
Been curious and want to try for mixed city use. Found a Dahon Formula S18 for sale. Was local but seller moved 100 miles away. Good chance we can get together soon.
Is $200 fair?

If it's in good shape it's underpriced. That's a nice bike.

So as I said the seller moved 100 miles away just after placing the ad. I was the only one to respond and we have exchanged emails. They now live in a really small town pretty far from anything so as soon as one of us makes the trip the deal will happen.
I get that it's a great deal but I'm not in a hurry enough to drive four hours round trip just to make it happen.

In the western US, 100 miles is 'nearby'... 150 mi, each way, is 2 hours ..
Coast, Here, over coast range, to Portland..

I get that. I live in rural western Colorado. Actually the bike started 45 miles away and moved 140 miles away. All two lane, 2+ hours each way and no other reason to make the trip.

A moving blanket from UHaul (or Lowes) and a roll of tape, in the belly of the bus...
Haven't done with bicycles but HAVE with others things before.
Just a thought....

I would think that bike is long gone by now, kids.

You might want to return the next day after touring around on the bike there. Take tools and pump for adjustments.
