I am looking to buy my first quad so I have limited knowledge of how these things work. I found an 87 Warrior for that is selling for $1,000. Is this worth the money?
I'm going to look at it on Friday and was thinking of offering $700 but I have no idea what is good. If its an 87 I'm figuring its probably got some rust on it and probably is pretty beat up. I don't care how it looks just as long as it runs (The seller said that it runs good).

Here are some of the aftermarket parts:
DG exaust (I think this is what he said)
rear axle extention
Bored out + 30 (380cc instead of 350)


If anyone has any advice or knows what the going rate is for a used 87 Warrior I would really appreciate your help.

Also how long do these things last? How many more years should I expect this 17 yr old quad to run?

Thanks for all you help!!!

 

id go ahead and offer him 600-700 for it, 1000 is way 2 steep for how old it is, but u could fnd a newer one for the same price that will run longer

 

I had an 87 for a while . I sold it for 1300 but it was in great shape. So if it runs good and looks good get it .

 

Had an 87, sold it for $2200. Just bought another for $1050. Rebuilt top/bottom looks ok, electrical prob solved, jnust need to take care of my new carb problem (my fault)

 

Kelley blue book lists it at....Trade-In Value (Good Condition) $1075

 

try to give him like 900

 

how much do you think i could get for my blaster????? i am probly selling it at the end of the summer

 

Thats a great help! Does anyone else have any suggestions?

 

That 17 year old quad will still be running years from now if you take care of it.

Maintenance is the key. Change your oil regularly, clean the filters regularly, and keep up on the chain maintenance.

Bearings wear out on every bike, so don't let that bug you too much. Just make sure that if the rear bearings are out, that the axle or carrier are not shot. If they are, there are more than enough parts on E-Bay to get you up and running again, but that will be money out of yer pocket and time you are not on the seat with yer thumb against the throttle.

Ride it... take a buddy that knows a thing or two about quads.

If the bike sounds and runs good, a grand is not unreasonable. Machines as bulletproof as a warrior tend to hold their value, and trust me, it is hard to find another warrior for under the $1500 mark.

Good Luck

 

You can't get 30 extra cubic centimeters by boring 1 cylinder 30 thousandth of an inch....Its more like a 352 or 353. And you could probably find a newer quad for that, but if its your first quad then go with the Warrior. It'll keep you entertained for awhile....
