Default Trailblazer Vs. Scrambler

I want to purchase an ATV this upcoming weekend but am split between 3 possibilities:

1) 2001 Polaris Trailblazer, new soleniod, new battery, new top end bored 30 over for 1200.

2) 2000 Polaris Scrambler 400, electric start doesnt work but pullstart does and runs well. 1200

3) 1999 Polaris Scrambler, nothing wrong, trading my ttr 125 and would give 150.

All three would deliver to my house, i just dont know which one to pick.

Thanks for the help.

4 X 4 is a MUST - Scarambler is the better buy. The 2 stroke scrambler will SCREEM

depends on if you want to keep the bike or trade it and save your cash. it will cost you to fix the ele. start so if the 99' has nothing wrong then maybe that would be a good deal. check the chain/sprokets and swing arm bearing for wear as small things like that add up on replacement cost. just a thought.

If you want both, I could sell you the one I have out here....01 500 scrambler 4x4 chassis with a 250 trailblazer motor and plastic. Depending on the year and condition of your ttr, that might not be a bad way to go, I had a 05 ttr125 that was cherry and had around $1500 in aftermarket parts on it, took it on trade for a nice 94 400L 2x4 I had put togeter. When I sold the ttr, I got 1800 out of it, but it took me awhile to find a guy that wanted it bad enough to pay for it. Otherwise, the 400 scrambler sounds like a pretty good deal, depending on what's wrong with the starter, you can buy rebuild kits for around $50 off ebay for them.

If you actually have yours for sale that would be awesome. As far as the ttr goes it is pretty much all stock except an added electric start. I had it up for 1300 but now its at 1000, probably because we are heading into the winter.

I hear ya on the TTR, sometimes it's hard to get rid of dirt bikes, especially this time of year. My scrambler/trailblazer cross is for sale, but I would guess you are far enough away that it wouldn't pay to come look at it. I live in south central Nebraska.

Bought my daughter a 2010 Scrambler 500HO and love it. It's a blast to ride when I don't feel like taking out the RZR. Front wheel bearings are pretty easy to replace.
