What is with the ATV's in the classifieds that are dirt cheap? Example, 2008 Can-Am 800 for $2900??? Last month there was a 09 Sportsman XP 850 for $3000. Both of these are offering free shipping!

Does anyone else find this a little fishy?

I would be leary of those ads that might be a scam. People post cheap prices all over the internet to scam people. I will take a a look at the ads in there...I haven't really in a while.

I would say you are correct...IMO, anything with Free Shipping on a Vehicle isnt legit....However,,,,,Some people just need to get out from under something and will offer it at what they owe or below Market just to get the cash or piss someone off...

For Example....I bought an 87 Corvette once for 100 Bucks...This Lady was going though a Divorce and had to split things down the middle....Just to piss her old man off she sold it for a C note and gave him Half.....:huh:

So there are several ways to look at it....But free Shipping I think is the Key to a Scam...

As MWKE said, you should be careful of ads that are under priced and involve free shipping. We do our best here to filter out negative ads and research ads that seem way below market value.

These are usually scams that can affect many sites. If you see someone selling a machine in great shape but way below market value...way below...it could be a scam.

You should always attempt to physically look at the machine if possible. If the seller does not allow that, and pushes towards shipping only...that should raise a red flag.

      Where you like to ride and what riding does for you?
      By BuckBilly
      I like to ride in wooded and grassy areas. It takes my mind off the everyday routines and helps me deal with my father's cancer. Also gives me a reason to get involved with forums like this one.

      2008 kazuma 800 4x4. i need wiring help. no spark
      By carkivey3
      i just picked this up. was told ran fine but overheating issues led to replacing head gasket and head. has not ran since. he is not a mechanic but helped someone else who he could not get back to finish job, got aggravated and put up for sale. i was thinking timing issues. i have 110-120psi on all 3 cylinders so i think valves are correct. dont know about distributor yet. however i have no spark. i have no power going to ignition coil. tried to follow white wire but gets lost in wire harness. does anyone have a wiring diagram? can anyone tell me what conditions have to be met before starting. motor turns over so i would think all safeties are met but you never know.

      Kawasaki 220 How To Find Neutral
      By jwh
      I am new to this site. Now down to business, I have been given a Kawasaki 220, tires are trashed and it has been setting for a long time. Do I need a battery in it to find neutral? I know there is a neutral switch and if I shift down(7 times????)   then up one using the neutral switch I should be in Neutral. As you see I am in a learning curve here ......coments welcome.

      Cheap tires
      By P_syko
      Are the cheap tires from Amazon any good? I know nothing last forever, but don’t want them to dry rot in a year.

      1996 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4 Issues with high gear
      By Sportsman500guy
      I bought a 1996 Sportsman 500 4x4 about a month ago, and I love it. Unfortunately, I've been experiencing a few problems with the high-range gear. The first problem is that the gear selector will intermittently pop out of high and into neutral. This problem will sometimes occur when starting from a stop and sometimes will also occur while at cruising speed. The last time this happened I stopped and put it back into gear, however, as soon as I tried to throttle the machine would die. I turned it on again with no problems put it back into high and it died again. Once again I turned it on with no problems put it into low instead and it worked fine with no problem. I drove in low down the road slowly for a little and then shifted back into high with no issues. 
         I plan on working on it this weekend and would just like some opinions or feedback from anyone who may have experienced these problems before. I'm very mechanically inclined but im unsure of exactly where to start as this is the first Polaris ATV that I've owned. Any feedback is appreciated and thanks in advance
