Need a advice on buying a quad
Hi guys! My friends grandfather is selling his quad 2006 Suzuki king 700.
It has 1550km and 151h .
I have never owned a quad before and don’t know what would be the fair price. How much do you gays think the quad is worth ?
Thanks

Are you suggesting only gays drive Suzukis?

I know it was just a typo, don't apologize, it really was funny and I couldn't help jumping on it. Really I couldn't....if anyone should apologize I guess I should. But I still think it is a funny typo!
I also say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays!

Me he man, drive Honda.  At the right price that Suzuki would be a good option. I could see paying maybe $2000 for it.

I had a 2005 700 king quad. I wouldn’t buy another. I had to carry a handful of push pins with me every time I went for a ride to keep the plastic on. The rubbers in the motor mounts get compressed and need to changed every couple of years. The only used quad I would buy would be a Honda.

Maybe that’s why it has low mileage.

Just to be clear, I don't trail ride for fun, or go bombing around on a quad. I value reliability and work function like dragging a whole moose, plowing my driveway above all else so for me the Honda is the right choice. My 2000 foreman is also the last of the quads short enough to go in the back of my pickup with the canopy on. For fun riding that Suzuki would be a great quad, they are pretty reliable, and they are much easier to work on than Kawasaki or CanAm. For the right price, and for fun riding where the Suzuki rides way better than a Honda of the same vintage, I would buy the Suzuki.
New Honda is going to set you back at least 9,000 if you want independent suspension. You could ride the Suzuki for a lot of years for less than half that.

Manual or Auto
I'd say if you're just using it for trail riding and such get the auto, if you're doing any kind of work with it go with the manual. My buddy rides a Rubicon Deluxe (an old man's quad he says). Watching him cruise along with PS, auto and IRS, me and my sore old back are envious. But, when it's time to skid a critter out of the bush or other such work my 03 Foreman is our go to machine.
