I've heard issues with the LRD aluminum chassis cracking. I've never had any experience with them, and that's just word of mouth, so take it for what it's worth. Laeger has always made good products and everything seems to fit properly. I have two Lonestars, the 2001 had some fairly serious issues with components fitting. The 2003 was much better, very close to Laeger quality. It is also gusseted much better than the older Lonestars. Lonestar swingarms are a different story, I've cracked a few of them.

how much are they worth?

Well if I remember right they were 1800.00 new. So I have no clue.....sorry!

I've seen Arens go for between $700-$1000 used. Usually the cheaper ones need a new powdercoating job done. I've built 4 different Arens quads and everything bolts up to those frames real good and seemed to resist cracking good as well.
