If you're talking trading it in to a dealer - keep in mind that they are looking to make money off of it too.

So yeah you always get screwed on your trade at a dealer. (assuming you don't have the time nor do you want to haggle with people)

I'm horrible at waiting. I didn't have a quad for 5 months and it was all I thought about.

That sucked.

When I was considering trading in my 2008 400EX for a 2008 700xx the dealer was only going to give me $2800!! It was less than 6 months old at the time with all the mods in my sig. He p!ssed me off so bad with that offer. I paid cash at another dealer and brought it up there for the 1st service and told him he gave a way a sale. They only want to make money on it and think most people won't go through the trouble to try and sell it outright. But with the economy like it is I would think they would do everything possible to make/keep a possible sale.

i love craigslist too.

i got a straight up trade, a 2002 400ex with many parts, just needed a timing chain for my custom painted 2000 250 trailblazer.

Wait and sell it on craigslist and buy off craigslist.

I originally was gonna find a mint 400ex for about 2500 max spending limit. I waited and watched this guy try to sell his for a good month, nabbed it for 1800.

It has race cut fronts, almost new tires, nerf bars a bit beat up and a +1 or +2 axle or the rear rims have less backspace (cant figure it out since the rears are different rims).
