Well that went FAST!!! Only took about 3 days to sell it, now you guys are probably gonna
hate me after I tell you what I bought. It was something that the price was right and I even talked the guy down $200, I just couldn't refuse!!!!!
I just bought a '92 TRX250X, it was in the want ad just a day for $1,300 I went and checked it out
and it looks pristine cond. just needs to be spit shined & polished, looks like it did when it came
off the showroom floor, other than the plastics being scratched up.The people were older folks
who didn't know anything about manual shift and would dump the clutch and stall it out,
so they couldn't ride it. They decided to sell it and get a automatic. THIS DOESN'T MEAN I'M
A TRADER....I STILL LOVE SUZUKI'S !!! I just could'nt pass up this deal ! $1,100 bucks is an AWESOME DEAL for a machine in this cond. around here, he could have gotten EASILY about
$1,500 - $1,700 for it. I've been noticing that aftermarket parts are by the TONS for this machine
and are pretty CHEAP as well. What should be my first purchase to improve power performance
to make this machine **** & GIT ?? Well I thought I'd share what my new purchase was with you
guys, I just couldn't AFFORD what was available in the Suzuki ads, DON'T HATE ME !!!

Start high end...............$3,600 or so, that way you can meet somewhere near your expectations.

Another thing I forgot to mention about this machine is it came with a previous but CURRENT
registration and a tag. The people said thats how the quad was sold to them, WITH the tags
and registration card. I'm all too new to this registering thing, so I don't know how that works
are the tags supposed to be left on the machine after a sale ???
