what do you guys think bad deal or what?

If you were to sell your quad, how much would you be asking?
Bottom dollar for that car is probably $5000, given the info you posted.
Why is the bumper cover different? Was it accidented? Make sure to get the story behind that.

Make sure he has all receipts to back up what he is saying though..

If I was to sell my quad I could get $4k. The guy wants my quad plus $1250 is that worth it? And his engine setup is that really a 347 and can that make 400hp with his setup?

seriously doubt it has 400 rwhp by the looks of it.....owners claims without proof/dyno sheet tend to be rather disappointing outcomes when new owner goes to get it dynoed...it goes like this after the dyno session....."But the previous owner claimed it had 400hp..lol"

driftguy2008

I doubt it to, it's probably 300+rwhp. I'm going to ask him to ask his friend who built it what exact parts are in it.

Well if it's a true stroker it's worth it IMO on a quality build... You'll know by driving it as well, even 300 wheel feels pretty damn good in a fox.. Ask what kind of heads he's using.. Or check what they are yourself, and I would also ask for receipts/proof of the work done..

I bet it has 400HP at the crank. See if he'll do quad + $800 cash. Slowly negotiate up.

400HP at the crank sounds about right. I have been burnt a couple times on cars with mods, you REALLY got to know what you're looking for and looking at. I learned a horrible lesson x2 lol but I mean as long as you know what you're looking for then its alright. Problem with cars like this red one people half *** build them... and once you get the car it will nickle and dime you to death getting it to run right/like it should. I would pass up on it if you were unsure or not sure what to look for. I know it sounds great when someone tells you their fox has 400HP! but most of the time they don't tell you ALL the problems that's wrong with it and why they really want it out of their hair. Im just saying if the guy were telling me it has 400rwhp then I would suspicious right off the bat of the car if he has no proof to back that claim up.

Id just be weary of the deal, if it doesn't sound right/feel right then its probably not right.

Id sale the ATV throw some cash in with that and hunt down the right car for you.

he doesn't have any receipts he traded his friend a street bike for it and his friend moved to California and he is going to try to contact him for them.
