You shouldn't have any problems finding a 400 for around $3000.The 400EX still reigns as the best ATV for trail riding(IMO)Very simple to maintain,ergonomics are excellent,suspension/handling are above average and there is an abundance of after market companies that make upgrades for it.You can't go wrong with the 400.

If it were me I would try to find a built ex with a aftermarket exhaust, cam, big bore, high compression and maybe some upgraded suspension. You can usually find somewhat built ones for not much more than stockers.. Of course you really have to look it over to make sure it's not to beat up. Overall 400EX's are great quads and generally a good value used.
