Ok, My Graduation party is soon and I either want to spend my money on a quad or a notebook computer. I'm leaning more towards a quad right now.

The guy has had it in his garage for a few years, and judging by the pic, its been there since the day he bought it :p. He wants $2500 for it. It's a 2001.

"2001 HONDA 400EX, Ridden two times for a total of maybe 1-2 hours. This is still a brand new bike. Just changed the oil and replaced the battery after having been garage-stored for some time now. Started up and ran like the first day I got it."

I bet he would come down on the price... It sounds like he just wants to get rid of it. maybe $2k?

Cause I would at least like to put some nerfs on it right away

Yeah give him a check for like $200 - $300 and post date it until after your party. Thats a really nice looking quad and for that price you can't beat it.

Good luck:cool:

ooh, 2500, its mine, j/k, im in westland, real close to there. You should definately pick that up. The paint is still on the oem tires. I would suggest changing the oil and gas before you ride it if you do get it. Its been sitting for 4 years with same oil and gas in it.

What happened to the 250r? but the 400ex looks like a good deal.

Parts are becoming less available and the technology is just too outdated, Id love to have it for the power, but I gotta stick with the 4 stroke.

In the description it said he has just recently changed the oil and battery out.

i would still change the gas, unless he has. and you might want to see if he will take a down payment and hold it, before someone else gets it

Thats more of a steal than a deal on your part... Def. go for it.

if ur going to college you should get a notebook computer. you need to start setting yourself up for success and a fourwheeler isnt a good way. I guess you dont need a really nice laptop. you could get away with one thats like $600 or something. Id buy one off ebay

Im going into a Heating and cooling apprenticship (sp?), So I dont think i'll be needing a notebook too much for school purposes

:huh are you serious. You are going to college and your buying a atv over your education.. atv's are fun and all but remember its a hobby, school is basically mandatory for your life... I bought a Apple notebook to go to college last month... I got about $1,000 in graduation money. And I spent all that and more on my notebook... I had a 400ex and personally they arent that great, I bought a 450R about 2 weeks ago from my neighbor and it is alot better.. get the notebook it helps you with college ALOT... ;)
