So the dealer tells me 01 out the door taxes in cluded 6399$ 02 with 2/4 switch same price 6399$ but! they can't "OUT THE DOOR " AT 6399 FOR THE 02 EVEN THOUGH I HEARD CORRECTLY , they have to add in taxes build charge and whatevr elese.......I'am ready to ride! .....sorry, just venting

 

Greaser,
If I were to purchase one I would have to go with the 02 model because of the 2/4 switch. Read an article last night on the 450ES. It will just be more plain fun without the front wheels pulling all the time. If needed you can hit the button for 4 wheel drive. Chet

 

Raptor, thanks for the info what do u think about the price?

 

Darn Rap, how many atvs u got?

 

say how does it kick in and out is it electric,cable,does it have magnets in the hubs(please say no)

 

I was also looking at a 91 300 bayou 4x4 , good condition 2300$ what do u think .....thanks

 

Pooh , iam new to all this, suppose to meet w / dealer tomorrow , any thing i should know......thanks

 

well i"m not trying to be an *** but sometimes looking things over real good can let you know about what to expect when it gets some miles on it(i'm deathly afraid of new fangled gadgets)but do think that new 2 to 4 might be neat.i would ask a hell of alot of questions.how does it work,what makes it work,where are all the componets,easy to service after warranty is gone. keep looking at it ,if not sure go back to the dealer as many times as it takes until your satisfied .say has anybody seen my glasses

 

Pooh, i agree! not much experience at it however 1st year run, never know[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

the 450 is a good machine,not real crazy about the thumb shift thing but if you get it you might want to ck out a extended warranty .say on that 300 first do you know who own's it,then pop the air filter lid,does it look clean,filter in good shape,no holes not coming apart.does it have large tires,i personally would not buy if it did,never know where it's been,also look at the frt cv boots.look for holes,rips.if it has plugs for the frt brkes,take a flashlite look in side,is it rusty inside sure sign of possible bad seals.how does it sound,runs without stalling.then over all condition.but personally i would not buy,sorry about that statement if the price was right and condition was good why not
