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.

Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: FishaHallic on September 04, 2009, 12:15:54 AM 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 Dave Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: pywacket1955 on September 04, 2009, 10:11:48 AM 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? Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: Mars on September 04, 2009, 07:04:36 PM Thanks Mars, What should i start asking for it.? 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.

Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: bahamas on September 07, 2009, 04:02:46 PM 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.
Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: BarterMaster 21 on September 09, 2009, 10:47:22 PM Its been on Craigslist for 2 months with no bites.....
Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: Slick89 on September 12, 2009, 03:03:57 AM 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
Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: ryanhandshoe on September 12, 2009, 08:27:04 PM 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
Title: Re: Is $3,000.00 to much to ask for this bike ? Post by: BarterMaster 21 on October 01, 2009, 09:55:39 PM It sold for $2,800.00 Thanks for all your help everyone...
