Hey everyone! I posted a similar topic in the "Honda" area, but that was of course for a Honda...


Anyways, I stumbled upon this Grizzly for sale, it's a 1999 Grizzly 600 4x4. It has a winch and plow that comes with it, and it has 7,349.6 miles on it. The seller is asking $2000 or best offer, I honestly think that might be a bit too high... Thoughts? I want to get a machine, but I don't want to have to pay a ridiculous sum for one. Thanks for your help, and time!

I might be wrong but I think thats pretty high milage for an atv. Also those are weird front rims, Never seen any like that before. Other then that looks like a nice machine

 

take a compression gauge with you and see what it is. drive the quad in forward/reverse in 2wd/4wd and listen to it while riding and turning. it's no different than buying a used car or pickup.
i think 2 grand for all of that is decent. i'd jump on it if i needed the peripheral equipment and the test drive and compression test passed my expectations. just my two cents.

 

I just bought a similar Kodiak and I think that price is too high. That is A LOT of miles. With that said price may differ by location - I'm in Minnesota.

I paid $900 for my '95 kodiak, 800 miles, no plow, no winch. However that was a really good deal and the machine needed a couple things and was kind of beat up.

 

Thanks everyone for you input! Still don't know what I should offer him... I was thinking somewhere around the neighborhood of $1350?

 

Sure, that's a long way off his asking price but I think with that many miles it's not an offensive offer. Let us know what happens.

 

Don't worry about the miles that's not allot I put 5160 miles on my 2012 in 8 months . That is super low mileage for a 1999 do the math it's a average of about 500 miles a year . Just make sure it's been maintained it should last for many more years . I'll put 20,000 miles on mine before I get a new one
