Here is my very scientific blue book of KR values finely honed from years of watching what KRs sell for.
Basic KR1 $6,500 Basic KR2 $8,000 Basic KR2S $9,000 Values are basic VFR instruments with no gyros and one nav/com. VW 1800-1900 for the KR1, and VW 2180 for 2 or 2S. Based on well built flying KR with average paint and under 300 hours and retract gear. add Diehl or Grove fixed gear +$1,000 add wheel pants +$300 Continental or Lycoming engine +$2,000 Not currently flying -$1,000 or more depending on condition add transponder +$500 very nice paint and interior +$500 needs repainting -$500 cruise speed over 160 MPH +$500 cruise speed under 140 MPH -$500 required lights for night flight +$400 I base these prices on what I have seen KRs sell for. I need to add that for what it costs in time and money to build one and for the fun, performance, and economy you get out of a KR that they should sell for at least $5,000 more.

Is this to much to pay? Pends. If he was scared of it, why? If it has a retract, you will want to change it. How clean is it? What condition is the motor in? Without looking at it, I guess that it is probably too much, but it could also be a real steal. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R.
