hi vhcat!

 

Following me now huh.HAHAHA.

 

HAHAHA!Sure, im a stalker

 

After your explaination of the two, with the Honda being repo,d I'd go for the CAT.

 

Well i dont know much about the cat 300 but i can tell you plenty about the honda rancher i own one and pound for pound theres no tougher quad on the planet. mine is a 4x4 its plenty tough i m often the smallest 4x4 on the trail and i often have the least amount of trouble another thing i dont like the engine mount on the 300 ac it looks to me like it would make the front end to light. and hondas do have a repitation for lasting. i know too may rancher is pretty fast on the open territory so i dont have trouble keepin up with bigger quads i can actually go faster than some!!! if I could get the rancher at the price you said id get it you wont be sorry!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Considering the price and previous owner status of both, manufacturer is practically irrelevant. Go with the one won at the raffle!

ATV 1: Won new at a raffle. Original owner. Drove around yard once a month.
ATV 2: Repoed. Previous owner(s) unknown. Care unknown. Sold by a business that bought from a business (auction) - too many middlemen and markups and possibility for deceit.

Heck, even if it were a Polaris I'd buy it! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

In addition, I'm not 100% sure, but I think that you can easily make the Cat into a 4x4 by adding a lever to switch between the 2 modes.
