I was wondering what kind of trade in value ATVs have. I'm thinking about trading my 03 Rincon for an 05 Rubicon and I'm wondering what kind of a difference there will be.

 

Be patient, and sell it out right first. The bike shop has to make a few hundred dollars. They will buy it from you,and then sell it for the amount you could sell it for.

 

most dealers will want to have around 4 grand max in your trade towards a full retail deal. Where is Van , TX ?

 

How many miles are on it? What condition is it in as far as the plastic, and the ride?

 

You may be able to sell it to one of us on this site.
What color?
How many hours?
How many miles?
Any photo?
What are you asking for it?

 

You will be floored at what the dealers will offer you for your wheeler. In fact if you like your dealer .. do not ask them what they will give you on a trade in. Because it will be very hard to like them after they tell you what they will give you for it. Be patient and sell it ...then buy .

 

Well, I got my trade in answer. On this bike, an 03 Rincon with 325 miles, 42 month extended warranty, nothing bent, plastic good(few scratches from trail riding), stock tires with Maxxis 8 spoke wheels, I was offered $3100. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] The same bike that I wrote a $7600 check for(including warranty) on September 16, 2003. OUCH. The guy didn't really like it when I said out loud " Hondas don't hold there value very good do they?", especially when the showroom was full of people who heard me. Don't get me wrong, I know everything takes a big depreciation the second it leaves the dealer the first time, but I was riled up because they told me it would be 10-14 days before they could check the oil pressure in my trans. if I left the bike with them. Looks like I'll be keeping the Rincon for a while, which isn't that bad of a thing.

 

I feel your anger. I was thinking of trading my trail boss in after about a year. It was in good shape. I knew the dealer would offer fairly low $ for it...but wanted to see just how much . I thought I was in luck because they had a 2000 Trail boss for sale ( mine is a 2003 ). They offered me $700 LESS for mine then they were selling the 2000 for. The 2000 was beat up and had bald tires with plugs in them. I was prepared to take a loss on the trade in....Instead I lost all respect for the dealer.

 

Broadhead- Where is Van ,TX? What is it close to? I know a guy near Houston looking for a Rincon.

 

Van is 20 miles west of Tyler, 80 miles east of Dallas in I-20.
