We typically jack all four corners up on any machine we intend to sell and remove all four wheels. This gives us access to the brake calipers as well as the steering knuckles and we can then get any mud, rocks or discoloration off of the calipers and other areas. It also lets us really check the tie rods and ball joints for extreme play. Fine tune the details and the cash will follow! Coating the tire with a good cleaner will remove dirt and provide a better overall appearance!

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.
