Hey guys, new here. Be gentle eh

Im in the market for a ds650 03-07yrs, finding a deal here in Canada is a chore but what or where can I find the differences between model years?

Ive got a line on an 2004 (within driving distance)he wants $4000cdn, ive got him to $3000 and have made a final offer of $2800....It looks decent shape, he says low hrs but isnt sure he's 2nd owner and its all stock.

Ive found 06/07s in the U.S for same prices...
Would I be good with a 2004?

Thanks for the help!

i belive i read some where that the 04 x was the best yr released..and not because i have one..haahahaha...seriously i think 04 and 05 were the best as far as weight, motor and options...BUT someone else will know for sure

 

The o4 years and up I believe had all the lighter weight stuff on them. The 04 itself had the aluminum a-arms. I dont think any other year got them. Kinda hard to come buy. The price you offered for the quad seems reasonable to me...

 

04 was a good year. Mine is a beast. Very well built. I bought mine for $2500 almost 3 years ago but only because the guy had a brand new KFX450 and needed to pay off the DS. KBB retail value is $2700. Doesn't list it as an X either. It is easily worth $3000. Once you get one you will not look back.

 

Thank you for replies!
Well he took all week to tell me he wont take 2800$, not sure if I should pony up and give him 3 or not. I will be in trouble with 'you know who'...

 

DS650.net - From bumper to grab bar, it's all here! this tells you everything about the ds650

 

Well my buddy is down there and gonna meet with seller today to check out and pick up if its good. Im giving him 3k. It is a X.

Thanks for link Groundspeed.

 

No problem bud! it helped me out when i was in your shoes.
Enjoy the new quad

 

Thanks!
Should be home tonight with my newly acquired DS!
Im excited to say the least. The modding will be delayed however due to upcomming vacations/bills.

 

If you guys had to pick 1 would you go w the ds 650 or renegade 800.Im looking into getting a newer quad.I like sport quads but having a 2wd polaris I ended up sticking it in the mud at Caw and had to get towed out 2 times.THeres a 07 gade for 5300 by me, is this a decent deal it only has not even 600 miles on it?
