How much for MY pred 500

bhsballer76 · October 28, 2008, 03:56:28 PM

So i have my pred on craigslist and i received an offer on it. What do you guys think is a reasonable selling price?? I dont want to let it go to cheap. The only things wrong with it are a very small repair in the seat cover and a small reapair to the rear plastics... The guy says he has the cash to come pick it up tommorow but i want to make sure i am doing the right thing before i sell it..Thanks alot.

Oh..its a 2005 in case anyone is wondering..

he is offering 3000 . I really like it but if i keep it , i am going to want to buy new plastics and a new seat cover... The plastics are really expensive so it would be like 400 that i really dont have to put into right now..

I just want to make sure i am getting a good price b/c it has alot of upgrades and is a really solid quad..

He would be getting a good deal but on the other hand if you needed to sell it I would say take the 3 for it due to the economy right now. If he doesn't buy yours he will get something as nice if not better for that price because alot people need to sell their toys right now. That is a very nice looking Predator. I would hate to sell it if it were mine. You must polish those rims don't you?

Kelly Blue Book is $3555, so i'd say 3k isn't too bad of a price. If you really want to keep it and can afford it, don't sell.

bhsballer76 · October 29, 2008, 01:21:45 PM

i really dont need to sell it. I actually got it on a trade for a nice dirtbike i had. But to be perfect( as i like my toys to be), it will need new rear plastics and a new seat cover as well. I dont know if i can find a nice quad for the 3000 i would be selling this one for?? There seem to be a lot of 2003 predators on craigs list for a lot more money than i was askiing... Maybe i would be better off keeping it and just getting the new plastics and seat cover.

NADA is $2,740 low and $3,605 high i don't think thats to bad a price. it depends on how much you like the bike. what its worth to you.

Yes, look around at the more popular 450s. They all take a nose dive after a few years, unless you have another $8,000 to $10,000 in it. I have about $16,000 or $17,000 in my quad. That includes the $6,500 I paid for it brand new. I would be luck to get $4000 for it.

bhs-I know the guy you traded that quad for-he's a real douchebag, j/k. He is a good friend of mine and he kept really good care of that polaris. The plastics suck, but that's the nature of that beast-weak plastics. I've had my '05 kfx400 for sale for probably 6months and hardly any serious offers. It's in great condition w/no broken plastics-a lot of trades have been offered-mostly dirtbikes, but since I already have a dirtbike, i"m looking for the money!! $3000 is a strong offer in these times.

I would take the 3k if I was you.
I have an 06 in realy nice condition and tons of aftermarket parts and
I havnt even gotten a 3k offer.
Maybe I should try that craigslist thing

hahaa...no joke huh?? do you know what kind of bike i traded him for the pred???

apkkfx400 · October 30, 2008, 09:29:06 AM

I know it's a yellow suzuki 2stroker, I think it's a '04 model year. We went to Durhamtown with some other friends about 3wks ago. It's a nice bike.
