Ill try to talk him into letting it go for $2500. Use the extra cash to buy a full exhaust. I Just dont want to buy a junker is all thats why I am asking.
Kinda hard to tell from pictures.
Thanks

Looks really clean, I'm from this area as well and there are few quads on here this clean! The fact the frame isn't rusty or anything with all the salt water in the air says a lot right there. Also the plastics seem really clean. As long as it runs right it's definitely a steal of the deal. I bought one this clean for $3800, given that was before the market tanked BUT still.

Buy it! I would check inside the air filter for sand and the frame for cracks (especially) under the footpegs but that looks like a good deal. Get it at a lower price and it would be even better

I'm in Hillsboro man, check your PM's! But If I was still looking for a sand 450 I'd pick that up. Ask if it's had the crank bearings replaced or recalled..04/05 have a problem with these. I bought my 06 for 3600 in similar shape in Newberg so if that ones clean you're good. Ask him how often he changed oil since sand can be a killer..By the look of it and everything it's pretty well taken care of.
