Top 10 Tips for Selling Your ATV

Story by Rick Sosebee. 1

Check the Driveline

If your machine has a chain and it can be tightened then you should do so. Be sure it is clean and has a fresh coat of lubricant so there is no binding or screeching if it gets rolled around. This should be done even if you are not selling the ATV. Look over the driveline for other potential turnoffs and get those repaired as well. CV joint boots that have tears wreak of cash flowing out of the next owner’s pocket and that will turn a smart buyer away quickly – or at least have them looking for a cheaper deal.

    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.
