Default is it worth buying the predator

well i made a thread about this in the past but my friend is still selling his pred 2004 500 for 3,500 it is in like brand new condition with less then 20hrs the clutch is burnt out but he is replacing it he explained how it was burnt out but i forgot what he said.

if i was to buy it i would have to sell my warrior i understand that the predator is a better bike i am just wondering what you guys think about the deal

04 Pred for 3500. Great deal as long as there are no internal engine problems or plastic is in poor condition. Id say go for it.

Used sport quads scare me. The fact that his clutch is burned up would be an indicator. As far as the Pred it's self, I love mine, although I don't have a lot of experience riding others. The YFZ is a great ride, but the Predator is a really good value.

I realize price is an issue. There are still some new 04s out there. A small town dealer here in Kentucky has 2 04s. One Silver for $4299 and the Blue (beautiful IMO) for $4399.

Good luck with you decision!!

This was Joe Hills in Bardstown. We bought a 500HO "for company use" down there this past Monday. We are going to letter it up with our logos. Good tax right off huh?

We are going to Buck's Run tomorrow morning about 9am. You and your dad should come out...

i was at a local dealer by my house yesturday and they had a brand new 04 predator dal ernhart jr. i think thats its name its red well the dealer said he wants 6,200 for it i said thats to much for a left over i mean its been sitting in the dealership since the 04 pred came out

i know the kid and i found out why the clutch burnt out he let someone ride it who didnt really know how to use a clutch and held the clutch half in half out and when that was happening for about a half hour the clutch burnt out.

Yes, preddys are great! That sounds like a great deal and i would jump on that. You will not be disappointed, i LOVE mine! I wouldnt worry about the clutch thing, it pretty much is the way you ride that determines the wear of it. Good luck with your desicion!
