Hey my local Kawasaki dealer has some cannondales for really low prices. I know that they are going out of business. Is it still worth it to but a cannondale canninbal for $4500. They are brand knew and i was wondering if it'd be worth it and how everybody thinks that the parts will be in the future.
Thanks

I think its not worth it unless there like 3500.00. You can't get any parts from anywhere unless there is someone parting one out. Which in a year you'll make tons of money off of parting it out cuz parts will be so rare becuase noone is going to make parts or them..

so your saying that if i bout one i would make tons of money in a year parting it out

02-12-2003, 07:47 PM
well if thy end up selling like a cannibal for like 3500 or 4500... and people buy them in 1 year it'll break and they wont know what to do or where to go if it isnt fixable so they would have to look for someone selling one or parts.. and im sure they will be paying goo money..

I have to admit, cannondale's were great when they came out and selling and parts were being made, but now what? no more parts and no more c-dale's being made.. I myself was going to buy i thought but now there is no chance in ****^. I wouldnt buy one if i were you... it is now kind of a waste of the money..

get a z 400 and work it out, i dont see why its worth taking a gamble with that big of a investement who knows tho c dale could come back stronger than ever but id be iffy on buying one til they got thier **** straight, the c dale is a much better ride than a z but if u want a quad right now id get the z , if u can wait get a c dale

maintenence and repairs are not cheap either , it all depends on what your looking to do and spend

02-12-2003, 08:21 PM
but parts are still being made for them and they are still in production.. get a 250r or 400ex then..
