At a local dealer, i've found a 1991 Yamaha Warrior for $2500. I was wondering if that seems like a good deal. Also, have there been any problems w/ older Warriors i should know about? Thanks!

 

Thats pretty high for an old quad. My gf's brother has a 90 warrior and its a real piece. Every time he rides it something breaks, so far he has replaced all bearings and bushing in the front end, the startor, the solenoid for the starter, the reverse lever, the rear axle bearings, and a few other minor things which he caused. Old quads like that fall apart. Expect to replace a lot of parts, I found a 95 300ex in ok condition yesterday for only 1500 and I know a honda will stand up better than a warrior to old age and abuse.

 

The price on this warrior is pretty high.Low Retail: $1,550
Average Retail: $2,035
High Retail: $2,200
These prices come from the official N.A.D.A guide.
