Fello ATV riders,
I have a friend who is looking at a 1998 yamaha big bear. The guy is asking $4000..It has a winch with it. Any thoughts? Is it a good machine? I currently do not ride a yamaha. I am a poloris man even though my new sp700 lives in the shop more than it does at my house...Thanks

 

if your buddy is looking for a wheeler in the 400 class my boss is selling a kodiak for $5000 with a plow and a winch.it is a 2001 and has 600 miles on it.

 

I have a 2000 Kodiak that has hardly been ridden the last year. It has a brand new snow plow that has never pushed snow. Planning to sell it for $4,000. That price sounds high to me.

I sold my 2000 big bear for $3000 and it was like new. No winch though.

 

4,000 is high for another grand he could probably get a new one!

 

You could get a new one last yr for $5400.00. $4k for a 98 is way high, especially since the new ones are in and out of 4x4.

 

If your buddy wants i can get you the info on that kodiak and he can look at that one. just let me konw.

 

Fellas,
Thanks for all the info. I will pass it on..Happy riding[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

I bought a 2000 Big Bear with a snow plow for $3500. last December. It had seen very little use. I would not have paid much more for it as I had a new one scouted out for about $5300. For a 1998, that is definately a high price.

 

A buddy of mine just sold his 1998 Big Bear (no winch)(which was in very good condition) for $3250...$4000 is too high......
