Wheeler 2,530 Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Well I gave this guy a message. His price seems ok (sure I could get it cheaper) but I see he has u bolts thru the fender to rear rack, & rear has crack. These blue ones rare. I know I could clean it up, make it run like a dream.... thoughts??? Edited September 8, 2020 by Wheeler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadetree 6,036 Posted September 8, 2020 that color blue was popular in canada, but not in the states. it also was the only year/model that came from the factory with a defective c.d.i. back then. 1k is a good price for a 4wd, as long as it does not need a ton of work ?. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,530 Posted September 8, 2020 @shadetree buddy said it doesn’t run. Just quit one day, so he went & bought a new one. It’s a farm quad.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,148 Posted September 8, 2020 People will pay extra for that color here in the States , don't know about where you are as they were sold there , could be a good flip I am just the opposite as Shade' on the CDI , I would buy a Rick's Motorsport CDI before OEM every time , a lot cheaper and better as it will remove the rev limiter on a 1996 and adjust the timing curve , I still have 5-300 and 4 of them have Rick's , 2 are 96's, ---- Don't you already have a Rick's on the 300 you got now 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,530 Posted September 8, 2020 Yes I have a Ricks now. Love it. I would run one anyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,603 Posted September 8, 2020 I'd take shades advise , and collect if i could...those are rare ... are you going for it because of the color , of because it's a 300, or both ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishfiles 20,148 Posted September 8, 2020 Down here if it were red or green not running and it looks fair to midland in the pic , I would say $500 , running $800-1000 and then the color would bring more money , maybe $500 , cleaned up and running with brakes , $2,000 and maybe more depending how cleaned up you got it , from listen to you'll up there in the Far North talk , I would think it be worth more up there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
