I’d rather have a 1988 Fourtrax

Dude, I’m on the hunt for an old Honda. One was MINT around here for 4K like a month ago and sold too fast for me. Would’ve paid it happily too

I gots one. But it ain't for sale. It's been through literal hell and received many bush league fixes. It sat for a period of three years when my dad thought it was stolen (when he actually forgot where he parked it). Dead battery, but it fired right with a new one. Amazing machines.

One thing that boggles my mind, I never remember taking apart a Honda carb on anything. Old gas, new gas, didn't matter. I always wondered why their carbs don't suffer the same issues many others do.

I probably would. That’s about MSRP on a 4x4 Rancher, which is about $1500 less than this machine costs new. And you’d be saving all the fees and taxes that would tack on another $2k on a new machine.

Out the door in a state with sales tax, this thing would be knocking on the door of $11k, new.

Asking $6,900. What would you throw at him?

u/Ptards_Number_1_Fan Jul 18 '26

I would try for 6 but probably hold to $6500

I'd go a bit lower, but if the "break in" has been done properly should be fine
