I may have found the deal of a lifetime on a 4 wheeler,What y'all think?

867-5309
It actually has 2 motorcycle mirrors on it, I don't think I have ever seen that before on a 4 wheeler.

you might call her and say dirty stuff.

Well,those old King Quads are one of the few ATVs,that had speedometers and Odometers back then,and this one has 411 miles..
Also those had some unique features. The engine,transmission,transfer case and rear differential are all connected,no rear drive shaft or chain.It's called an integrated gear system,and the engine sits further towards the rear,making the front end lighter,and gives a better ride. I think these were also the first with 4 wheel independent suspension.
They have 3 transfer case selections High/low/and super low,and a locking front differential.
I have seen one with 14,000 miles on it before,that was still running like new.
They are pretty hard to find,because people that have them don't sell them usually.
When it's in super low,and the front differential locked in,it's like a damn tractor.

I was told in another thread that it is impossible to find a good used four wheeler and to only buy new.

That's probably correct,if you are really looking for 1. I wasn't looking for this one though,so it just kind of popped up.

If you are happy with it, buy it


Just curious though. What do you think the sticker price was on 2002 and what do you think it's worth right now?

She is firm at $2,500.

Sticker price back in 2002 was about $4,600. They were an expensive machine. Right now,they are worth what a person is willing to pay.
These particular models have a niche,and people are willing to pay for them,because they are hard to find.

Sounds like it basically sat up. That’s not good for an engine.

That is generally true on Iron block stuff.I haven't found that to be true so much on small aluminum engines. Usually Carbs laquer up,crud up and have to be replaced,this one is running perfectly though.
On a car,it has belts,and hoses that will dry rot,and other little stuff that will rust and get stuck,a 4 wheeler doesn't have much of this type stuff.
I rode it yesterday,it was just like a new one.
I am on my way to San Antonio right now,going to call the wife in a bit,and tell her to take the money by there,and I think my uncle will go pick it up for me.

$2500 for a 16 year old 4 wheeler doesn't sound like that great of a deal.

In 2009 I found an 04 Honda Foreman 450 on La Sportsman for $2700. It had less than a 1000 miles (IIRC), warn winch, front and back racks, and came with new ITP 589's on aluminum rims and he had the stock rims and tires. I thought it was a scam but went and looked anyway. The thing was spotless. I've had it 9 years and it went in the shop once because the paper in the air filter deteriorated and got sucked in the carb.
