Rowdy,
You shouldn't have any problem finding an automatic. As I'm sure you know there are tons of them out there. You could look in the Trader, but it seems like a lot more people advertise in the Indiana
Auto-RV.That's where I'd look. There's also classifieds on here. I saw an older utility at Dreyer Yam. for sale but I can't even remember what brand it was. They would want way more than an individual would anyway.
Also, it's possible your post will be deleted.
Moderators may see it as a want-ad and I don't think that's allowed in the forum section.
Hope you find a nice automatic.

I don't know what part of indiana you are in but Loomis cycle in Merrillville has a nice looking 2002 Trail boss that was only owned for about 3 months. It has a few scratches on it but other than that runs good. I was going to buy it for my son but we are going on vacation soon so my wife said no. They are asking 3000.00 for it which will save about $700.00. They may go lower because they've had it for about three months. There # is (219) 942-0548. Also my regular dealer in Michgan City has two new 01 Trail Bosses left over that are on sale. I don't know the price. Good luck with your search. E-mail at marvin841@hotmail.com if you need more info.

Kodiak is is selectable 2-4WD, just doesn't have diff. lock. 400cc. Nice machine. I ride with a couple folks that have them. They are impressive. Yep they are light steering.
