Default 2003 Raptor, buy or stay away?

there is one around for sale for $5000 CANADIAN and I think I can get it for $4000, here is the deal, it has bald tires, the chain and sprockets are shot,the grab bar is ripped off and one of my buds was riding with the guy who owns it and he says that the rear end was sliding back and forth on the axel and that therewere some bolts missing so they brought it home and matched up some bolts and fixed it up.The oil was prolly never changed and the filter was prolly not cleaned. The bike was bought brand new last summer. Is this worth looking into? what should I look for when/if I go look at it? Any input would be appreciated.
THANX.

Look for another quad if you have to buy used. Its got the original oil in it, the original oil in the filter along with 10 lbs of shizzle in it, and the guy probably has rolled it a half dozen times. It certainly wasnt broken in correctly and doubt he ever adjusted the valves. Forget that rolling dump.
