Top 10 Tips for Selling Your ATV

Story by Rick Sosebee. 1

Be Detail Oriented

Do not get lazy and neglect the small stuff. Wiring and hoses can easily be cleaned with a sprayer and Super Clean to a bright new appearance. This allows you to see any problems you may want to fix before the big reveal. If all of the parts such as the carb and air box are spick and span, then this will get the potential buyer’s mind working for the good and not the bad. Plus, if you have a massive oil leak around the cam or valve-cover it might be a good idea to clean that stuff up…and maybe fix the leak, if possible.

    Great story. I just considered buying an additional used quad, but bought new instead. I would add: if there are any parts of your bike you don’t think are up to snuff, have them identified by competent dealer, and if you don’t get them fixed, immediately point them out to the prospective buyer. I looked at a used Rincon that didn’t shift right. Owner knew it, but didnt know what the problem was and I wasn’t going to find out after I purchased it. If the prospective buyer wants to have a dealer/repair facility give it the once over, oblige them. Refusing will make the buyer think you have something to hide. Bottom Line Up Front: Be truthful in everything related to your sale.
