Default New Or Used, for a New Ryder?

Well Just curious if anyone would suggest what I should look into...
I was looking into a Scrambler 4X4.

A few listings that I see...
(2004 Scrambler 500 4X4-$5500)
(2002 Scrambler 500 4X4-$4500)
(2002 Scrambler 500 4X4-$4200)
(2000 Scrambler 400 4X4-$3200)

So Just wanted to know what you guys think.
Since I am New to 4-Wheeling. This would be my 1st quad.
*I wouldn't want to get anything older. (don't want someones problems)*

Here is a good deal on Ebay. But, I would personally prefer new. However, my funds didn't allow for that so I go used. But, a 02 for $4200 or $4500 sounds good too

You get what you pay for. My persoanl preference is that to buy new. Spend the money now, avoid anybody else's 'hidden' problems and have fun.

I am sure that if you look around you can find a 2 place snowmobile trailer for under $1000. I paid 750 for a 5X10 utility trailer with a folding ramp that will fit my quad and a bike on it.

Be VERY careful buying a used quad. Some folks run the hell out of them so check a used one very carefully. If you have the $$$ buy a new one.

If you are just starting out go with a used quad but check it over real good for abuse.As for a trailer I bought a new 7x12 with a drop gate for $650 at a little place in KY.

If your gonna buy used, definately get the 400. The 2-strokes are more fun and they ain't makin' em no more.
