I have been looking for preferably a Honda Big Red 3 wheeler or any 3 wheeler with shocks on it to ride around the neighbor hood with I have had 1 three wheeler in the past but never got a chance to ride it due to how young i was. My price range would prob be around $100.00 - $300.00 I would prefer it to be working, but will take as is for restoration so just post any offers you have within this price range and i will try and get back with you asap.

P.S. I do not currently have the money, but am working very hard to earn it, so I will probably not buy it right soon as I have an offer, but will be buying it in the future.

you should check craigslist. i have found big reds in good, running condition for 300$ in my area.

I've checked all over craigslist with no luck, but i guess it could be the keywords that i use? What keywords did you use

the keyword i use are; atc, 3 wheeler, three wheeler, and atv. taking out the spaces in some keywords, (like when i was searching for dirt bikes), did make a considerable difference.
did you also check the bartering section?

oh well they did help, but the only 3 wheelers that were found did not have shocks, but were in the price range, and ran 40 mph. The only thing is idk how smooth they ride with or without shocks is there a big difference?

also, have you clicked on the "for sale" link right in the middle of the page? type in your key words in the search box on that page. this way your searching all the listings. :beer

edit: yeah quite a differance in the three. rigids can beat you pretty good, hardtails aren't too bad, but your back/body will thank you over time for full suspension. :lol:

Yes i have been, and still barely any luck I guess im probably gonna eventually have to increase my price range, or either keep looking all over until i find one.

Edit: Found 1 for 200, but needs a little work would that be a good offer or should i keep looking?

like what kind of work? carb cleaning, plastic work? pictures would be very helpful in judging if its worth 200$

it really doesen't say it just said that it would run with a little work, and they didn't post any pictures.

save some cash before you even look. Cash in hand is the best tool to negotiate

yeah, what ben said. and if you cant get pictures i wouldn't even bother.

edit: have you tried to contact them, because then they might give you more specific details and some pictures.
also, if this doesn't work out for you then you should put up a wanted ad, they really work, (that's how i got my dirt bike and now my brothers getting one because of it).
