I am going to check out a 02 650 tonight ..the guys selling it swears its in perfect condition,says it only has 250 miles and and 30 hours on it..he wants 5500 for it with a set of 589's that are on it..(stockers included of course)..So is this a fair deal if its in the shape he says it is? I know trade in value is 4600 and retail is 6400...any opinions on this????

 

Sounds fair to me. Ride it hard, & ride it easy. Use low range in 2wd & 4wd forward and reverse & do the same in high range. Climb some hills & put a strain on engine. If it passes these test, I think you would be getting a steal, not to mention you are not having to pay tax!

 

well..im gonna test ride it tonite..I have a real problem buying used atv's ..never know who beat a ride or did something stupid to it..I can get a brand new one for 6900 including tax OTD...Hope this is a good thing...but you know if a deal is to good to be true it probley is!!

 

You can buy'em NEW in central Ohio for $6300 OTD, in your case you don't pay Ohio sales tax. I bought mine even cheaper, $6150, I was in the right place at the right time, though.
If that bike is straight, and you can document the service history, that is a fair price with those upgrade tires! You could take it to a dealer for a pre-purchase inspection. That should cost about an hour's labor, but is WELL WORTH IT! Good hunting!

 

well...being a little short on funds is the reaso im trying to buy a used one.the insurance co wont pay out on the theft of my 450es so i dont have alot of choice on what to get..it does have the extended warrenty for 3 years and that is transferable...

 

The warranty can be purchased for $370 online. It is the factory(Good-Times) warranty.

 

were abouts in ohio...to save a grand id drive 6 hours..hell ya

 

I paid $6299 in Indianapolis. A dealer in Mishawaka, Indiana and one in Knightstown, IN were advertising in the Auto-RV magazine at $6299. The dealer in Indianapolis matched their ad. You might try the same thing. Keep in mind though that the 650 is pretty tough! The used one will probably be a good deal.

 

Central Ohio, Columbus. I'll email the dealer name and ph.#, if you wish. Just remember, if you have to title it in your state, they will probably nick you for (your) state sales tax at the time of registration!

 

troy city garage in troy ny has them for 6183..but i have to pay sales tax..looking at 6800 w/tax and all
