Thats about what I was looking to spend too. Ive noticed some pretty slick sled for around the 4 mark too, although they were in the late 90's.

The problem for me, is if I want one, i have to buy two, so it costs me double what it should!

Ah yes Sheldon, this story sounds oh so familiar. Just try to convince yourself you only need one sled (good luck) or you will have to build that shop sooner than you think! Then you would be in the same situation we were in. We really didn't need that second quad but a brand new Arctic Cat 650 with winch and winshield for $6750 was way too good to pass up!!

That is a good deal for an a/c. Ever seen their diesels? I would love one, if they worked like they should!

And, i dunno if you fully got what I meant by that, but if I get a sled, then my woman needs one for her too

Cant complain though, least she doesnt mind doing the same sorta things like that!

Yeah I got what you meant. I have the same thing going on here. That's why there's two quads and two sleds. I want my own to play with! Guys don't get all the fun you know. Hence, the new toy box under construction.

This sounds like a smokin` deal! How long have you had the Cat and how do you like it?
I`m soooooo tempted at that price but I don`t know if I would have the time to really get the use out of it.

Fom... a kingquad like mine is selling for 6899 here now... the city should be cheaper yet. if i had my time back, i'd probably have skipped the quad, bought a nicer boat and a sled... i've only put 200k on my quad since march, 120 of them on one derby. i can count on my ears the # of times i've used it this summer. i'll get more use out of it plowing snow.

Had it about 1 1/2 months now. The dealer in Bonnyville had an awesome sale on. It is an 07, brand new in the blue/gray color (ltd edition). Really pretty. I know guys, who cares about the color.... Anyway, we love it. The ride is 100 times better than the 04 Honda 350. But the Honda doesn't owe us anything as it's had the snot beat out of it (hubby's teenage son). Managed to go out for one ride with the neighbors and all four quads came back nice and dirty along with the riders. It was a hot day so the flying water sure felt good! It was a competition to see who could get the water flying higher. Nobody is sure who won as we couldn't see. WOOOHOOOOOOO.

Thats a pretty good price for a king quad. Seems like prices for a quad arent as bad as I thought.

Quad prices have really come down lately. Hey you could afford two at those prices. That way the woman (I believe that's what you called her) would be happy too.

Ya know, ive talked to a few buddies back home in nipawin that have can ams, and none of them have had any problems yet with theirs. I asked specifically about the electrical system and they said zero problems.

They ride them HARD, and out them away wet (literally!)

Actually to be honest, lately I havent heard of many problems at all on any brand of quads, xcept those real cheapy ones.

Good to hear your real happy with it.
I`ll never buy another Honda quad. I had two of them, one had a weird noise in the rear axle and the other one had a similar sound in the front axle.

Sold them both and never looked back!
