Someone already said it but was his car running when he jumpstarted it?? It's hard to get info out of a seller as they will usually say the bike is fine and play the ignorance card but I would try and ask him if he noticed anything was wrong with it. Sounds like he already started with "I'm selling it for my brother."

For 2k I wouldn't say it's a steal I got mine for $1600 with very minor problems so I'd say it was priced about average.

I would check the battery to see if it is charging (properly) while you're running it and find out if that puddle is gas. If it is leaking gas from the carbs you might just need to clean them but the tail light out is a separate (electrical) problem. Check to see if the wires are all connected underneath the seat to the rear. There's only 6 or so wires I believe.
