Looks pretty nice if you threw a coat of paint on it! Kinda has a rugged sexy look to it as is though!

What's its status? Running? Not? That's a nice price and there's tons of support for the wheeler in the form of parts, advice on here, and info on my website!

I'd say you pick it up!

 

if i had the Xtra cash i would buy it too. most 230's go for around 800-1200 around here. it does have a case saver on it still that might be some good news.

 

The guy said that it runs, but needs to be cleaned and new plastic. I hope that there is not a lot of rust on it. Wisconsin winters can be harsh.

 

I'm from MN and my 230's title states it was initially purchased in MN too. Its in surprisingly good shape. There's a bit of surface rust on the frame, but nothing that wouldn't come off.

You can't beat $450 bucks IMO.

 

i wonder if its painted that way and so cheap because its stolen?

 

I doubt it, its not THAT cheap. The 230 we picked up a while back looked a lot like this one.

If you want to check BioWare, get the WIDNR's phone number and read them the VIN while you're there. They can tell you in 30 seconds.

 

I went to look at a lakota a while back and happened to mention to the guy about everyone's obsession with 230's. Turned out he had one in the barn! I blew any chance of haggling by talking too highly of them to start with, but in hindsight, $500 doesn't seem too bad. It was just rebuilt with new piston etc and a new mag cover n s-arm bearings. Looked about like the one Bioware posted. Same black spray painted plastics. It also came with the optional rear rack.

Anyway, $500 is about the value of those old quads unless there is something special about it. I got mine for $200 and it smoked like a tar wagon.... Plus, just about every bearing n joint was toast, the plastic cracked, seat ripped up, and about 3 coats of latex house paint all over it. I think for $200 I got ripped off.

 

Thanks guys for all the good info, i will look at the vin and find out if is stolen or not, But the guy said he was the first owner it is 1985 model lt230 . I want to get it for my wife good beginner quad.

 

Just so you know, the VIN is on the lower frame tube, on the left side, right in front of the motor.

 

1985 was a good year. It had a smaller crankcase and took less oil than the other years. It should weigh-in barely over 300lbs. 1985 was also the first year of any fully suspended sport quad. Kind of a special thing there.
