So we have decided snowmobiling has about played itself out for us for a variety of reasons.
I have had my '99 Mach-Z, '01 MXZ 700, old 2 place trailer and several other extras for sale for awhile, and as you would imagine I haven't had alot of bites from serious buyers due to the time of year. I expect that.
What's interesting though, is I have been offered an '89 Quadzilla that looks to be pretty solid overall. Couple minor cracks in the plastic but I'm not worried about that. Maier offers all the plastics still. It has been ported by Dynoport and has a full Dynoport exhaust. This thing is really tempting me. I have pipe dreamed about having a 'Zilla since I was a pretty young kid and still have the desire to own one.
Thing is, I looked up book values on NADA and the 'Zilla only books for a little over $1500 in excellent condition. Each of my sleds book for 1700 and 1800 on the low side and 2300 and 2400 on the high side. My sleds are well maintained and in excellent shape. I know book values don't necessarily reflect what people will actually pay in any given area. I know for a fact due to the tough economy and bad winters the last couple years people just aren't going to pay book prices for used sleds around here. I see earlier REVs selling for about what my 01 MXZ books for on the high end. I was hoping to trade the whole package for just about any 450, or partial trade for a 400ex, or one sled for a 400ex, or any other reasonably fair deal. I just want to get the sleds gone and get another wheeler.
What do you guys think??? I'm kind of torn and biting my nails on this one....
