Looking for a used quad..
I have been looking and found a couple that piqued my interest (well, in my price range).
2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO
2011 Yamaha Kodiak 350
Two different machines I know. I'm a big guy, and I'm wondering about the comfort of the Yamaha for me. Also would want to ride 2up for short periods, not sure how the Kodiak would go. I know the 350 wont be the same performer as the 500. I'm ok with that....Opinions welcome...

I have heard used quads do cost much more in Canada than they do down here in the U.S. For $3000 down here, you can get a used Grizzly 660. Granted most of them in that price range have a lot of miles on them though. A Kodiak 450 would be a better choice than the 350 though. The 450 has quite a bit more power. I'd look and see if you can find a used Suzuki Vinson. Might be hard to find though as they're getting more rare each year. I just looked at my local craigslist and found one near me for $3000, a 2007 model. They built them from 2002 to 2008 I believe. And they were in both a fully auto cvt model and a foot shift semi-auto version as well so if you want the auto version, make sure that's what it is before you look at it. Actually here's another one but its a bit farther from me. Nice quad for $2500 though, will at least show you what it is http://bgky.craigslist.org/snw/5809839740.html

Thanks
Thanks all. I went there and he had the sportsman 500, Kodiak 350 and a kodiak 450. I test drove all three. The 350 was a bit under powered, The 450 had acceptable power, but I just seemed to fit/feel better on the 500. That and it seemed to be in better shape than the others. It also had EFI and only has 1800 miles -- apparently was owned by an old man who just used it to get to his hunting spot. It has a tiny gash in the seat, and one of the floorboards has a small crack in the side. Other than that, it looked pretty solid, so I went with that one.
