For a used quad depending on the year 500hrs a year I would say is average anything over 1000hrs a year is well used!

I'm with Dodge. It will be tough to find a used 500cc class quad for that kind of money. You might be able to get an early pre-2000 Polaris Scrambler or Sportsman for that but not sure. It depends on your area and how many used quads are on the market.

maybe expand your search to 400cc models, and test drive them. you can always pass!
