Might buy - 2006 450er - whats it worth ?

[mak400ex]

well had my 2005 400ex for 2 years now and I am ready to sell it and move up to the 450.

this guy i know has a 2006 450er for sell,(100% stock) it has never seen the mud or dirt, its been in storage all its life has about 2 hours on it - i would rate it a perfect 10. still has the nip's on the tires.

whats a good deal $ ( fair price )

in other words if you were to do it all over again on your 450 what would you be willing to pay, if you bought it stock ?

Thanks for your input.....

[BadinBlack]

$4000-4500 imo

[mak400ex]

thanks BadinBlack

just talk to the owner again, he bought it in dec 2006 brought it home parked it in the garage and a week later got in to a car wreak then had to have neck surgury, and was told not to ride - so it has basicly never been riden ?

what should i offer
again a fair price ?

anybody else got a idea on what its worth

[BadinBlack]

i got my 06 used last year in aug. i paid $4600 from a small dealer, this included tax, reg., and licensing fees. i'd probably offer him $4000 because you still are gonna have to pay the other fees when you go to put under your name.

[mak400ex]

Well the guy says he will take $4000 cash

good deal ?

[maddmatt02]

Id say it sounds good, here the 04/05 are all priced at 3500, some into the 4's and all 06+ are above 4k, not saying they wouldnt take less but the starting price...

[mak400ex]

THANKS FOR THE INFO :D

yeah really thinking about getting it - just hope i like it better then my 400ex - never rode a 450r - hope it a big change ?

[BadinBlack]

What is the VIN number?

There are some recalls on that quad. You should make sure to get them done. Check the 450r forum at the top.

1 is for the a-arms, 2 is for the throttle, and the 3rd has to do with starting. They have to take the side case off to replace something.

You got a steal. I would have paid 5,300 for a brand new 2006. I bought my wife's 2008 for 6,150 OTD. The best price I got on a brand new 2006 was $5,700 OTD.

Thanks man,

yeah going to break it in 1st and then HRC kit sounds good. :D

[Reticle]

There is no need at all to break in before adding the HRC kit. However, if you're adding a full aftermarket exhaust, you'd be better off getting a HotCam (a II most likely), removing your airbox lid and rejetting.
