BowenCT Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 2005: Two owner, stock internals, new wheels/tires, FMF pipes, bumper, Renthal bars, fresh top end with receipts, clean. What's a good ballpark value of this bike? Thx. Quote
Infamous039 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 If it has a title $2,000-2,500 No tile $1,500-1,800 (Maybe lower based on the economy) Quote
Phelps Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 a bike is only worth what your willing to give and he is willing to take. i have picked up bike as good as that one for as low as 1,500, but have seen them go for 2,500. Quote
BowenCT Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 a bike is only worth what your willing to give and he is willing to take. I've bought and sold several niche cars/trucks/boats so I understand that. The Banshee market however I am less in the know. I figure this is the place to find out. Quote
BowenCT Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 No tile $1,500-1,800 (Maybe lower based on the economy) Less than $1500?? Wow, that seems light...but what do I know? Not sure if he has a title or not..? Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 If all the normal banshee checkout stuff is good, then I'd say probably $2200-2500. Stock internals and no porting is kinda nice when buying a banshee used. I would pay a little bit more for a stockish banshee with title than I would one with a bunch of mods. You never know the quality of work or maintenance on the modded ones. In either case, I always tear them down, split the cases and check everything out before I ever run them. Quote
benb5241 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 With these bikes, you really gotta look at the local market. Around where I live that would be somewhere between 1500 and 2000, depending upon the economy. Quote

Around where I live that would be somewhere between 1500 and 2000, depending upon the economy. Bingo. A 2005-06 Banshee like that, with title in my area is gonna run you ~3000. Without the title, it'll probably get parted out. NY Sate SUCKS! Prices will fluctuate with the seasons as well. I'm curious. What's he asking? Edited January 2, 2011 by muggzy Quote
muggzy Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Here ya go. Just got these off of CL - Not to say they'll get what they're asking but... http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/mcy/2130162617.html http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/bar/2113266480.html http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/rvs/2114588666.html http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/mcy/2108763136.html No title: http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/rvs/2127580361.html So for my next purchase, I plan on doing some driving Quote
midlifecrisis Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Its winter, no banshee is worth $3000+ in winter, especially in a cold climate. Tell them as soon as the LSD wears off to call you with a serious price, this is more like it. http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/mcy/2122079585.html and that price is CAD! Quote
jbooker82 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 Or you could buy theshee's banshee for 3500 http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=138346 Quote
BowenCT Posted January 2, 2011 Author Report Posted January 2, 2011 OK, this may be a really dumb question, but what is so desireable about having a title for a quad? Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 OK, this may be a really dumb question, but what is so desireable about having a title for a quad? I'll try to make this real simple for everyone. In the eyes of the law....if you have an ATV and don't have a title...then you don't OWN an ATV, you just HAVE and atv. Now, I know some people are going to dissagree with this next statement and they are going to say "I'd just this" or "I'd just that". But if I loaded your quad into my truck while you watched me do it...and you called the cops and said "Hey that guy stole my quad"...here's what might happen. #1- You and all your friends tell the cops about what just happend. The cops arrest me for theft and confiscate your bike as evidence. I'm charged with theft due to you witnesing me taking it. Now your asked by the cops to prove OWNERSHIP....no title = your not able to prove ownership, so they keep your machine and sell it at public auction. (That happend to a guy over on another site. He even had pictures of his bike being built and with custom airbrushed graphics with his NAME on them! That's why I can say "No Title = No Ownership) #2 Cops stop me and ask me if that's my quad. I say yes. They say one was reported stolen and the guys say I took it. I say "Does he have any poof that this machine is the same machine he claims is his"? Your left describing scratches in paint and plastic as if being able to describe an ATV is the same as having rights to it. The cops are unable to do any thing more because "Possession is nine tens the law". I got it, so it's up to YOU to prove it's yours. Now the cops might tell me I need to turn the quad over to them for the investigation.....and if I'm dumb enough to do that...then we're back to option #1. Either way you loose your quad. Don't buy the story, that your state doesn't issue titles. If you can go to your loacl Yamaha dealer and finance a bike...then it has a title. That's what the bank holds till you pay it off. Most don't have a title because you pay the sales tax on the purchase when you register your machine to get your copy of the title, so many people skip that step and then they are left doing "bills of sale" which in the eys of the law don't really prove OWNERSHIP....just PAYMENT. So in the case of a theft, your "Bill of Sale " from the guy you bought it from only proves that you paid for this (Possibly stolen) atv from somone else, so at the very least your not guilty of theft....just selling stolen goods. Bill of sale = proof you paid for it. NOT THAT YOU OWN IT. Possession is nine tens the law. BUT... many states require you to have a title. Not having a title can be as bad a charge as theft. Hope that clears up a little misinformation and answers the question of why have a title. Quote

LONGROD Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 I just sold a ruff 96, no title, and a blown top end for $1000. where I live good luck getting a nice quad under 2000. im sure there r deals out there just not overly common.. I have owned over 30 dirt bikes and quads over the 24 years I have been riding and have never even seen what a title or certificate of origin looks like for one of these machines. I just live by the way of protect what u know is yours. many will disagree. and I respect that. Quote
