Just got back from a 60 mile ride last weekend, man i love this machine, smooth ride, easy shift, my biggest complaint was my thumb got tired by the end of the day. I was talking to a buddy the other day and he was talking about chevy trucks. he said they have good resale , get good milage, and are very reliable, it reminded me of the Honda's I've owned, about 12 so far(from a 50cc moped to a 450 foreman) and i have never lost money on one yet. I am about to sell another one, I hung on to my 300 4x2 just in case there were problems with my rancher. After riding the rancher for about 9 months now, in about a month or two I plan to sell my 300 and buy another rancher. Anyone else getting ready to buy a second one?

 

Resale is is very good with ATVS my freind turned down $2500(Canadian) for a 89 250 Moto4 and we think it did not cost much more than that New!I bought my bike for $7000 out the door over 3 years ago and was offereds $5000 for it,now the dealer want $8500+tax for a new SP.Two people I know bought a $7000 range snowmachine and Water craft at the same time I bought my bike and told me they would be lucky to get $3500 for them now.

 

I bought a 1989 CR250 about 6 years ago for 1500.00. I sold it a couple of months ago for 1500.00. What a deal 6 years of riding at no cost.
I wish I could do the same with my Warrior.

 

Just took the wife on her first real ride on my Rancher today. She got back from one and said "Alright I'm gettin one". My jaw about hit the ground. I'm getting another one soon!!!

 

Tim1,

You are right about the resale of personnal watercraft (PWC). When I moved from Florida (nice warm water), to Washington (damn, this waters cold). I traded my 10 month old water craft in & lost about $1500 on the deal. The PWC boys are really taking a beating & are running out of places to ride.

I love riding quads, especially since my water craft on got 7 miles to the gallon.

 

My friend got a rancher at christmas and has put on 3300 miles since then, and it is still working great. Rancher..........like a rock!
