I need help making a decision. I don't have my own quad yet, but I ride at my brother-in-law's quite a bit, and I am dying for my own. I have had my eye on the Polaris Scrambler 500 for a long time, for several reasons: I want something that will go great in the mud, climb hills safely, is fast, and has 4wd and an automatic transmission(just because I am too lazy to learn to shift). Also, I love the looks of that thing! My husband has been looking around for me and pricing things, and he is trying to talk me into a Suzuki Eiger 400. It has a lot of the same features that I want, and my brother-in-law thinks I'll like it (I do like his 650 prairie if it wasn't such a tank), but I can't decide what to do. The only 2004 Scrambler we could find around here is at a tractor dealership that doesn't have good financing, so if I want it I will have to wait on my income tax return and better paychecks in the spring. The dealer with the Eiger has good financing, and I could probably get it this weekend (plus the Eiger is $1200 to $1500 cheaper), but if I get it I'll be keeping it and not buying anything else for quite a while. So, sport or utility? Opinions, anyone?! Thanks!

 

Here is my #1 rule when buying something. Get what you want so down the road you're not stuck with something you didn't really want from the start.

Also i think the scram is a lot more fun to ride then the Eiger 400.
It's also faster and feels more sporty.

If it was me i would wait untill you can get what you really want.

The Scramblers are awesome ATV's

 

I too would personally hold out for the scrambler if that is what you are really wanting anyway.

 

no question

hold out for the scrambler,,,and be sure to get the one that says '4x4' on the side of it

Thanks everyone for your input. I've definitely decided to hold out for the Scrambler, I know it's what I want, it's just the wait that is starting to get to me wanting my own.
