sheewheelin Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 I am planning on buying a banshee in the next couple of months, would you recommend buying a new one or a used banshee?? Quote
evil Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 if you can afford a new one then get a new one, if you cant then get a used one and search the forum for tips on buying a used banshee, lots of good info on it. Quote
Gargamel Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Welcome to the HQ That all depends on your budget. Its always nice to have new so you know from the start it is well kept. If your like me and can't afford a new one, shop around and don't jump on the first one you see(unless its a KILLER deal) As I have found out buying the shee isn't the $$$ part. Its all the stuff you want to do to it after you get it. Jeremy Quote
sheewheelin Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Posted June 30, 2004 I can afford to get a used banshee in the next couple of months, but if I go with a new one it willl be the first of next summer before I can afford one. I think what I will do is, keep a check in all the trader books around my area (and be patient). I have found out throught the years the most patient people get steals on stuff. If I have not found something that I want by the time I can afford a new one, I will just buy a new one then. The only thing I was worried about with buying a used one is getting stuck with a bent frame or something like that that hidden. I am sure if I check the quad out top to bottom really,really good I will be ok. I am not new to atc and atv, I have only had 4 strokes, but now I want something really fast so I going with the real deal(2 stroke). After I buy a banshee I am going to give the like new 1984 200x atc to my wife. BTW I really like atc's does anybody on here got a tri-z?? Put up some pictures of it to!! Quote
sheewheelin Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Posted June 30, 2004 BTW Thanks guys (and gals) for the welcome!! Quote
doltz Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Buy a used one that someone has put a bunch of goodies on & needs to dump. Nobody rides a stock Banshee anyway. I have done it both ways & considering they have been pretty much exactly the same since 87 you would be a fool to buy a new one. Just so you know pipes will be $600 right from the start. And you gotta have pipes! Quote
