From my own experience I suggest you walk well away from this one,since even if the dealer agrees to replace the entire exhaust system from headers to silencer,the degree of rust/corrosion in your pics suggests general lack of care/maintenance so if it was me purchasing the bike i would want to check every service item end to end & also be looking to replace those old original brake hoses for starters. I take it theres no service history/paperwork to back up?
This, my friend, is going to be a money pit & for this sort of money there are far better bikes available which would mean you get to spend your hard-earned on fuel rather than replacement parts/dealer time. Be patient & keep looking.
I recently saw a Fazer Thou in a local dealers shop which on the surface appeared well cared for BUT underneath the full fairing the exhaust header studs & nuts were in a dreadful state & whoever purchased the bike would sooner or later be forking out big time for stud removal which as others have already said is neither an easy nor cheap job. Good luck!
