I am very mechanically inclined. If ists broke I can fix it. My friends have like 250's and stuff like that.

I have like $500 to spend

I thought about getting one that needed a bit of work and then fixign it up

honda 250x
suzuki lt230 quadsport

You would really be pushing it to find any of those in running condition for under 500, but those are the ones that would be close.

i hate to say but with that budget you wont find much. but that was my budget when i was looking for a quad. paitence is key in the end i got a three wheeler and a quad for just under 600 bucks. so it is possible. You just have to be willing to wait. good luck
