I bought a 2005 Honda 450R today from the insurance company. It was one that they had a claim on, and would not fix. I got it for $700. It will cost me about $600 to put it back in shape. What do you guys think?:D

They have a 2005 Raptor also, but they want $1800 for it. and it needs more work. It needs a pipe, front plastics, headlights, and a sub frame.

I was at the Atlanta car auction and got introduced to some sellers that turned me onto buying them. I got onto a buyers list with a couple of brokers that sell for the insurance companies. Now when they get something, they give me a call to see if I am interested. It saves them money from going to auction.

even if you didn't fix the frame and everything you could use that as a extra parts bike man that is cheap lucky Joker

I might have to try this,I cant afford a new 450r or a used one, maybe a totaled one from the insurance company will do lol

I don't care much for the 450R, but I thought I could make some money off it. My plans were to put a set of ASR arms on it, a set of shocks, and a rear axle and sell it for around $3500. I would still make about $1500 and make someone a good deal at the same time.

This was a really good deal. I bought a 2004 yfz450 about a week ago for myself, and paid $2k for it. It needs front plastics, headlights, and a pipe. I am goig to do it all up though. I ordered a complete ALBA suspension kit for it and a pipe from ALBA.

I have a KFX now with +3 LT arms and TCS shocks. I am going to give it to my wife when I get the yfz done.

You are right, I have no need for the 450R. But I would like to make some money off of it. You could give me say $1500 for it, and you would still be getting an awsome deal.

That cheap. I would buy it if shipping was an option. You said you get deals like this all the time? Anything else cheap you are wanting to sell too? Maybe blackwell and myself might need to take a road trip. :devil:

blackwell17
12-31-2005, 06:33 AM
Road trip is OK w/ me lol - maybe we can take the mustangs and strap the quads to the roofs, what ya say? lol

but in all seriousness, if we both end up gettin one from him I would be up for it

12-31-2005, 02:41 PM

I buy them from a broker out of Atlanta. He contacts me when he has something that might intrest me. You do have to have a Automotive Dealers Lic. to buy from the auctions or brokers. There are quite a few that go through the Atlanta auction also.
