Yes. Not that you are greedy, just the times:

1. Most folks have no "play" money right now.
2.Your 5 year old 330 has been replace with a 400 with IRS that can be had for $5600 new (2010).
3. There are left over 08/09s for about $4000.
4. Polaris has one of the lowest resale values of the major brands. (Always had till Can Am came back.)
If you don't need the money for food or rent, I would just keep it.

I checked Kelly Blue Book and your price seems a little high but I did not take into account all your extras.  I think the price between retail and wholesale is around $2500 and which for me when I bought a used quad I took that number and worked my way down.  The quad I bought was only 3 years old and had around 100 miles on it and around 20 hrs and I got it closer to the wholesale price but it did not have a winch or any extras.


I don't know how long you have been trying to sell your quad but sometimes these things take months to sell..............have patience and good luck

It's not what to ask for the bike, what will
someone pay. Times are hard right now for
alot of people. Most people don't have $3000.00
to spend on a toy. So how bad do you need
money?

I would agree with Fishahollic. $2500 would be fair but it may still take a while. If you kept it clean you could ask $2500 a year from now.
FWIW: I want a LTR 450 but my modified 04 Z400 will only bring $2500-$3000 it's super clean like yours but the newer Z400 is bettter and about $5000 new.
I'm sticking with my Z400 for a while.

I had 4 quads for sale on here and on chucks and hilifter and could not sell any on them. I put them all on craigslist and they sold in 1 week. Might be something for you to try.

I looked it up on nada.com and from what it says low retail is 1,870 and average retail is 2,408. so from what you described i can see 2500. but no more than that

When I'm looking to buy a machine the extras really don't factor into the price at all. That is why you see older race bikes with 20 grand dropped in them selling for 5 grand or so. You gotta go with what the machine itself is worth. sucks, but it's just my view
