what would be a good price for a 230 that runs and looks good?
Only problem is the clutch slips (no biggie, just about $100 for a new clutch)

What would be a good price?


Edit: I think it's a Quadsport.

yeah more than likely its a Quadsport. I would say if its in good condition It will go for $500, its a lot easier to judge a quad in person though too.

later

I think it depends on where you live, a 230 quadsport around here that looks and runs good is worth between $1200 and $1600. Check ebay and atvtraderonline.com for a better idea on prices.

Yeah that's what I've seen them advertised for around here but I found one guy who wants $400 for his with the slipping clutch but my sister gets 50% off parts and gear at the ATV store so the whole clutch won't be but like $50.00...

Are these 230's fast or good for jumping??

In central FL they generally go for 800$ to 1500$ depending on condition. I gave 500$ for mine in running condition but real rough looking.

They are very slow stock. They can be modded to have respectable power but will never run with a big bore 4 stroke or any 2 stroke over 200ccs. Mine was not good for jumping at all but it had the original shocks and I weigh 240 so I may just be to heavy. The high point of the Quadsport 230 is reliability once you get it in good condition to start and it will crawl up anything. When I had mine I rode mainly with 2 Blasters, there were hills they couldn’t get up with a 3rd gear running start that I could crawl up in first no prob.

They are a good beginner quad or for someone who wants a real easy quad to ride but doesn’t care to be particularly fast. I would have kept mine for trail riding because I intend to sell both LT250's but I had too many quads and it needed too much work.

Ya. When I said "very slow" I meant for a sport quad. If I got a real good holeshot mine would hang with a stock Blaster through 3rd gear.

Holeshot is how fast you take off.
