June 17, 2007 -- Make "Junior" Gotti an offer he can't refuse - he could use the cash.
John Gotti, the scion of the Gambino crime family, is so strapped, he's looking to unload his lavish Gold Coast property and head south for the simpler - and cheaper - life.
After burning through more than $1 million in legal fees and another $150,000 in tax-lien payments, the one-time wiseguy told The Post in an interview last week that his leafy, 1.96-acre estate in Oyster Bay Cove, L.I., will be on the market in two weeks.
"We're finishing fixing it up," Gotti said, as he peered around his manicured, lush yard while his wife and kids gathered inside for family dinner.
The gangster who cried poverty during a series of racketeering trials said he hopes to save a few bucks by downsizing.
"I can't afford the upkeep," he confessed about his suburban spread, which costs $16,233 just in annual school and town taxes.
