Hey guys, I was wondering how much my ex is worth. If you could give your honest estimate I would appreciate it. I know it's not perfect and the market is swamped, but I would rather move up to a 450.

Anyway, here is a copy of the ad.

__________
Up for sale is my 1999 400ex.

Make an offer!

Mods are in my sig.

Some history of the quad...
I tore this quad down to the frame and had it repainted with high-gloss emron tractor paint. Literally every bearing except the crank bearings have been replaced in the quad. (Crank bearings were checked during rebuild). About 3 months ago I tore the engine all the way down and preformed the motor work you see now (along with almost all the other upgrades). Since the rebuild, I have ran the quad approximately 60 minutes for break-in.

Maintenance...
*Oil and oil filter has always been changed after every 30 hours
- replaced with full synthetic 10W-40 Genuine Honda oil and K&N oil filters.
*Air filter is cleaned after every ride, and the valves are checked every few months.
*Break-in was performed via the heat cycle method using conventional oil as per Hotcam's instructions.

Summary...
*A VERY solid atv and has NO mechanical problems whatsoever (that means no squeaks, burnt oil, worn out parts, etc).
*Runs incredibly strong and would make an excellent class C motocross bike, or a beefy XC bike for a good rider.

The plastic is the only part I have not replaced. It has normal scratches, but isn't faded or cracked anywhere.

The price is somewhat negotiable, I am interested in trading for a 450 of similar value.

I can provide more pictures or information if you need, just let me know.

If you want to contact me, you can PM me or text me at **********

Nice ride, but I would say $2500 at the max. You are going to have to find a very specific buyer since most people that want a quad that is set up like yours and have that much money are going to buy a 450R. You would probably be better off to put it back to stock (assuming you kept the stock parts) and selling it that way and selling the parts. Good Luck!

I didn't keep the stock parts :( I may be able to buy a stock axle, arms, and shocks then sell the aftermarket parts. I don't think I can get much money for the DG parts however.

Boneless, thanks! What holes? There aren't any in the rear plastic that I know of...

Oh Ive never noticed those. I don't honestly know why it's there. It was when I bought it.

I say around 2750. Its pretty tough to sell quads right now. It took me about 2 months to sell my 05 with a pipe nerfs and handlebars for 2500. But now i got an 08 and i love it :D
