woodro77 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 just went to look at a used 94 banshee some kid was selling , was sitting out side for a year , rusted to shit ,beat to shit. no compression in one cylinder , needed complete rebuild , he was firm on $ 2600 , i offered him 700 , every piece on it was rusted , fucking crazy . couple days ago went to look at a 2003 raptor 660 , kid on the phone told me it was super clean like new , was a total piece of shit , needed one way starter bearing , tires , valve adjustment , probably a top end (burned alot of oil ) , rear carrier bearing , one a arm was bent ,rear sub frame bent . plastics beat to shit , had no air filter , rear shock was soft as hell , he wanted $3700 . i would say it needed $2000 worth of work easy with me doing the labor . i really wanted to kick him and his father in the nuts for wasting my time . i dont know whats going on with these people lately , but they think they are sitting on a gold mine when its really a pile of shit . i wasted alot of time going to see these pos's . just wish people would be honest on the phone . l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo_69 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 People are always wanting something for nothing. I looked at a 97 Polaris XLT 600. hood all cracked to shit, windshield all busted two bungees holding the seat on. LOOKED RUFF. Asking $2500, I wouldn't pay $800 for it.

Snopczynski Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 We should start a review board. You can come back and say what was wrong with the bike, then vote in a poll on it. Then we could send the seller a certified letter stating he is a complete fucking retarded terd wrangler as certified by the banshee HQ comittee. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupbox660 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Not too long ago I was trying to find my buddy a cheap quad that he could pick up and ride for a while, untill he could get something better and I was strolling through the paper and found a 400EX. It advertised something like this. Nerf bars, Pro circuit pipe, new handlbars, 440 kit, and lots of other extras, will probably need tires soon, $14,000. Not even kidding. Unbelievable. I love how some of these people think that a few after market parts make it worth a shit load of money when it was probably all ratted out.
