Fishfiles 20,147 Posted November 27, 2020 Maybe a thread for ATV deals out there before they hit the classifieds My buddy Skip in Slidell , La has a Yamaha 80 4 wheeler , looks like a little Banshee , blue in color , pretty clean , it was for his daughter who lost all interest in riding it , Skip just got a new to him 350 Rancher and needs garage space , says the 80 has to go , he wants $800 for it , he paid $300 for a new OEM carb when he bought it from our friend Max , who bought it brand new for his son and it sat up so long the gas soured as they live in the city and had no where to ride it , this atv has very low hours , I think these go for around $3,400 new as my buddy Lance had bought one for his grandson Landon ---- would like to see one get it that I know as it seems like a really good deal 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,593 Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) hm, this has me thinking also what about pawn shop finds, I've seen a couple 300's come up around here a green 95, and one other red, they would not let me look at nor take pics of. thing is the owner of the biggest pawn in columbia is my retired fire chief, used to hunt on my families land as a boy, and was great friends with my grandfather, plus has cut me some deals on items in the past. maybe a deal in the future.

jeepwm69 7,725 Posted November 30, 2020 I have a little 80 like that Fish. @basfnb's brother gave it to me. Wouldn't start. Turned out the intake valve had gotten tight so with a valve adjustment it cranked up. Smokes like a chimney though. I ordered a cheap top end for it and hope to get it done over the winter, not that I'll need it anytime soon since the baby is only 18 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must have been stuff that the owner was still paying on..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,593 Posted November 30, 2020 nailed it, jeep, but he told me I'd be the 1st he would contact if they came up. the green is a twd, that's the one i want, but not for myself, my nieces boys are getting of age to ride, so, i was figuring on a gift, for the whole family, already told there father about riding, and showed him, on my 95 ... so he understands NOT to turn them loose till they get older. they started out those cheepy wally world electric atvs already, had a go kart, which they've run the wheels off of, lol.
