Lightbulb I need some help please

Im looking at buying a 2003 Yamaha Grizzly with 5,000 miles on it. The plastic is good, new tires, new 3000lb winch. The ony thing it needs is a throttle and choke trigger.

I'm don't know much about quads, i've gotten the guy down to $2,100. Is this a good price?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I would see how much the parts are going to cost you first.

Its an automatic 660cc. The throttle and choke trigger are gonna cost around $40.

It sounds like it may have been in a crash if the throttle and choke lever are broken. May also explain the like new plastic. Just a hunch. If there is no serious damage it might be a good buy. I don't know what kind of mileage people are getting out of the 660 Grizzly.

Very good thinking. I would check it out underneath too. Look for bends and cracks on frame, a arms... etc

Ride it for sure , check for shaking wobble etc and ride it for atleast 30 minutes and if he objects run away from the deal . Also if it is haking at speed I would walk away and never look back
