I am 14 years old and want a quad. I have wanted either a quad or a dirtbike my hole life. I just absolutley love them. i am looking at a yamaha warrior but the problem is my parents are puting my sister through college and say they cant afford one. I was looking at a used one but still they say they cant afford one. I was wondering if anyone knows how i can maybe afford one. Also i was wondering if it is posable to get like a $3000 loan? if you have any ideas on how i can get a cheap warrior please reply.

 

Andy, Summer is coming. Get yourself a job and save every dime. Decent dirt bikes/quads can be had starting around $1,500. Good luck!

 

hey thanks? do you think i could get a yamaha warrior for 1500-2000. I really want a warrior or a different sport 4 stroke because i dont like two stroke because of the maintnance. Do you kno of any other realativly cheap four strokes?

 

$1500-2000
sorry

 

Finding the right used quad is a thing of patience and luck. Prices can vary by time of year or how desparate someone is to sell their quad. It is possible to find a Warrior at or below $2,000 but it will take some looking. Late 80's or early 90's, or some cosmetic damage could put the price around there.

First step is to get the job. Once you have the money or a steady income to let you plan on how much money you will have at any given time, then you can start looking.

Good luck.

Will a late 80s or early 90s run fine or will it need some work???

 

Dont waste your time with a warrior, get a blaster. Fast, cheap, modifiable, and not all that much mantience. Need I say more? I am kidding, get whatever you want.

On a used bike...it could be either. In '96 I bought a '89 Warrior. The original owner just ran it in his yard. When I sold it in '97, the guy that bought it could not believe it was as old as it was as it looked almost new. In 2000 I got a '96 Honda TRX90. It had never seen a trail - it was only used by a guy that had a race car to run up and down the pit row. Plastic and frame were spotless, rear tires were worn out. But I paid less than $1,400 for it and it even came with a rear rack.

Shopping for a used bike can take some time. The best thing you can do is if you know a buddy who is trading up. If his bike fits what you are looking for, you can buy it from him for more than he could get on a trade and also keep him from having to advertise so he could sell it cheaper. It's a win-win deal for both of you.

Ya still gotta get that job first.
