Polaris 250 scrambler

[montess85]

Have a chance to buy a 250 scrambler......I bid on it when it was on ebay about a month ago.....well I guess the guy who won didnt pay.....So the seller contacted me about buying it.....260 bucks....I guess it ran 6 months ago when parked.....needs seet recoverd and has some minor cracks in plastic.....

[montess85]

Anyone have any info on these machines....

[Tri-ZNate]

Pick it up. they are supposed to be the Cadillacs of trikes

[seddon]

if it is like the 500's then the front ends are junk

I think $260 is a steal for a scrambler(if I read that right) I would go for it for 260 easy just because not many people have them.

ya thats a cool trike and ive never seen one in person before so it must be pretty rare. polaris had the constant variable transmission so it drives like a snowmobile, so your at the perfect rpm your whole ride. its a great system!

[montess85]

I thinks I am going to go for it.....

[montess85]

and yes that price was rite

[brapp]

They are over all good machines. I have a few of them and one of them I have had for 6+ years. The biggest beef I have with them is the electric starters. They are the biggest pain in the rear to repair / replace. Finding some parts is completely impossible ( I have searched well over 100 dealers ).

When it's running properly you will have a hard time finding a machine that rides smoother.

I cant wait to pick it up

Well since a 500 is a 4-wheeler I'm gonna have to say it has a different front end than a 3-wheeler.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned it, but make sure your offer is legit. Second chance offers that aren't scams are getting more and more rare.

[montess85]

Well I am going to pay cash in person....The guy gave me his number....so I doubt its a scam....but thanks for the tip

[montess85]

I know there a pain in the ass....Ive worker on trail boss's....as far as parts are concerned the only problem I see is cosmetic parts....but most of the parts seem to interchange with the trail boss

I saw that on ebay not to far from me either. I think it was up in Clyde, NY if I remember right. Good deal for $260 for sure. I emailed him and asked for a buy it now when the trikes bidding was at about $50,He replied back and said he would end it for $1000. I laughed really hard and replied back,"I bet you would". Then hoped he got a non paying bidder.Dreams do come true

[montess85]

lol yea it is in Clyde.....well you wish worker out in my faver I guess

[montess85]

I pick it up monday......cant wait

[montess85]

picked it up.....Its not in bad shape.....plastic is good.....needs a seat cover....racks are missing....engine has good comp.........anyone has any parts or knows anyone let me know

i though that he was talking about a quad my bad

[montess85]

havent torn into it yet....tomaro night.....thanks for the info......just talked to the guy I got it from and he said there is a guy who has one not to far from me that has no motor but it has everything and is in really good shape.....

[montess85]

Its alive.....run pretty good.....needs a new belt.....but all in all not a bad machine....definatly faster than my sx....does seem as agile though....but being heavier will do that...
