I am looking for the rock bottom prices on Honda Rancher 4x4 ES and Honda 450ES utility quads and any considerations in buying one over the other.

 

As far as price, a Rancher should be had for around $5000, plus the set up fee. A good deal I think is between $5000 and $5200. All depends on the dealer and their current stock. Shop around, because prices will vary from dealer to dealer.

Sorry I don't know the going price on a 450.

As far as choice, I recommend you ride them both if possible. Even if its just around your dealer's store, it will give you a taste of how each handle and how you sit on each. I myself, being on the smaller side, opted for the Rancher. Both ATV's are top notch. The 450 will obviously give you more low end grunt as well as a higher top end. But extras come at a price $$.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

 

i don't know about PA but here in ks/ne the 450 ES goes for 5299 to 5399 at a certain dealer

 

HERE IN KY. I PAID 5,000 FOR AN RANCHER NO ES BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. IN JUNE I BOUGHT A 450 ES AND PAID 5,700. THIS WAS OUT THE DOOR PRICES AS I COULD TAX EXEMPT BOTH DUE TO OWNING LAND. I'M SURE THE PRICES HAVE COME DOWN FOR BOTH BUY NOW WITH OTHER QUADS BEING INTRODUCED TO THE MARKET. I LIKE BOTH QUADS VERY MUCH. THE RANCHER IS LIGHTER AND EASIER TO HANDLE. THE 450ES HAS ALOT MORE POWER. I LIKE THE ES VERY MUCH AND WISH I HAD BOUGHT THE RANCHER WITH THE ES. THIS COMES FROM A GUY WHO USED TO RIDE OLD DIRT BIKES AND FIGURED THE ES WOULD SUCK. IT'S GREAT THOUGH. I WOULD RIDE BOTH AND THEN DECIDE. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WHATEVER YOU DECIDE. IT'S A HONDA AND WILL LAST FOREVER.
