Yeah some people are trying to get money for machines that need completely rebuilt and have busted up plastics and bent frames and stems. I went and looked at one a month or so ago and the guy said on the phone it was mint. There was nothing mint on the quad except the new tires. Plastics were
**** where the owner tightened them too tight The rear shock was toast along with the all the chassis bearings which is fine but not when your asking $3000 for the thing. I addressed the issues with the seller and he still thought he had gold. The bike has dropped down to $2600 last time I looked and I am sure it will sell for less then that.
You are right I will spend more money on a bike and pipe and carburetor then some guys are asking for decked out quads but I want to break things and then throw my tools telling myself I should have just bought one done already.
