We did. Finally took it down 2 years ago, after the youngest became a strong swimmer.
We just found out today, our new house insurance is going up $20 a month more[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Investors felt it wasn't inflated enough[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] for today's market[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] IN case the house burnt down.

oh yeah, and our current house ins. is way high at $1100 cuz of 2 wood burning fireplaces.

So, I don't worry about them falling off. We also decided to get rid of the Polaris. Gave the oldest daughter the option of keeping the Polaris and getting rid of another quad. She said, she didn't care for the Polaris[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] it's a tank. So, we decided to get rid of it after we move in. Figure, I'll get around $1700 for it.

geez, i'd hope you'd get at least that much! but, it is a POO-laris, and there's only so many morons in Utah willing to trip over themselves for them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] .
so now i'm looking for a Honda 250EX (yep, the sport version). i like the shaft drive for low maintenance. very light weight for a 250. and i figure this one would last Jr. a LONG time. so up here, a 2000-2002 model goes for about $2600-3000 (US). but there are very few. i bet down in sport-quad country they go for a lot less eh? like how much for a 2000-2002?

MD, how the heck do you look after all that equipment??

Couldn't blame this one on the insurance co. They argued with the title company and investor on it. But, the investor wouldn't fund unless they (ins. co) upped the coverage to rebuild at a higher market price. So, the price went up. They are nickle and dimeing us big time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I would venture to guess they would go for around the same price. There are also to few on the open market. See a few 400ex's though. But the owners want just about the same as a new one. Around here, there are a lot of banshees and blasters on the market. Can get a banshee for around $4000++ Saw a '03 for $7k. Had a lot of work done to it, but that is more then I would want to spend on one. A blaster goes for around $1500-$1800.
