Hi Guys, I am new to the forum, and new to the ATV world. I am looking at a 03 Raptor, and I was wanting to know if it's a good deal. It is bored over to a 686, with a new clutch, and clutch basket, there is approx 10 hours on the rebuild, the seller does not know how many miles are on the quad itself, I also know that it was never used for racing, and it has full skid plates, and nerf bars. He is asking $2k. Do y'all think this is a good buy? Is there any other questions I should ask before buying?

 

Take it for a test ride, if everything checks out buy it. Make sure the trans shifts well and smooth

 

Well the thing is I'm deployed right now so a test drive is out of the picture, and I am buying it from a friend that is stationed in NC, while I'm stationed in GA. I trust him, I just wanted to know if there is anything else I could ask him before I tell him that I am going to buy it. He is actually holding for me until I get back.

 

I'd hold off. May be a great buy, then may blow the motor the first time you ride it when you get back. I trust my friends, but when it comes down to it, I want to be on the quad or whatever I'm buying before I put the money down.

They'll be other deals to be found when you get back.

Thanks for your service, stay safe and make it back home.

 

And welcome to the forums.

 

Well I will test drive it before I buy it. I just can't test drive it now. I couldn't ever buy a vehicle with out test driving.

 

Any one else?

 

Well if its in good shape and runs fine its a good deal, not a great deal but a good one.
