I don't think I'd try to haggle with Brian Shaw.

I’m sure you could. But why would you want them? You’ll be fixing those things constantly.

Actually you won’t be fixing them. They’ll just be broke down in your driveway.

If I could get a year out of them I'd be more than happy. My subaru is great for getting to work but good lord it's not much of a wilderness vehicle.

A friend of mine bought a brand new Artic Cat 4 wheeler the month and a half he had it , it was in the shop the majority of the time , he doesn't hot rod his things and they are treated quite well . The looks of that 4 wheeler needs to stay right where it's at .

My buddy lost close to $ 3,000.00 trading off the Artic Crap 4 wheeler .

As for the pickup , I'd think you should be able to find a better deal than buying someone's headache .


You're friend along the snare line .

You do realize both items are 25 years old. Heck going thru 25 winters up there would make them junk not even being used. You don’t need anything older than you are !!! Unless it’s a woman

I love the quote “most things work”. That’s advertising gold right there.

I have three Arctic Cat fourwheelers out here with over 20,000 miles on them and my "new" one has 18,000 on it now. Hondas are tougher and more reliable, but Arctic Cat made models that fit my uses better and I found them more reliable than the other brands. My 2010 had a ton of electrical issues, as did two other people I know of with identical 2010 models, all of us had the wiring harness replaced under warranty but the wire they used in the wiring harness for that year was junk and we continued to have issues with the replacement harnesses, probably half of my harness on that fourwheeler is not original wire, but wire that I have spliced in. I use my fourwheelers hard, but keep up maintenance on them, replace oil regularly, etc. Two of those fourwheelers are parked, one is strictly a parts fourwheeler, but I've never had a motor go in one, the two that are parked still ran when I parked them. Suspension, ball joints, wheel bearings, cv axles, etc. Snapped the frame in half on one and welded it back together, but never had a motor go.

I would be a little leery, considering the fact they are advertising a Kawasaki for sale but picturing an Arctic Cat. Also, Arctic Cat is going out of business this year, which could cause an issue getting parts. The one you pictured has a Suzuki motor (as did virtually all older Arctic Cats) so you can probably find parts for the motor, but the rest of the bike may be hit or miss on availability.

When I was in highschool we bought a four-wheeler that had no break systems. You could still drive it at 60mph. I don't know what exactly the problem was but my dad never got around to fixing it and eventually we sold it. "Most things work" is a ringing endorsement here where usually most things don't work.

I think either would work fine for you, it is not like you have a lot of roads. How many miles could a guy possibly drive in Cordova?
If you are reasonably handy I would go for it.
I have and use machines from the Mid-80’s that still do the job they were designed to do.
Don’t be scared because some lower 48ers say no. You live in a different world and you know best what will work for you.

About 41 miles if you drive from the end of the highway to the farthest point away. And the majority of that is unpaved as well.

Saw someone selling a truck that only ran in reverse a month or two ago, wonder if anyone bought it.
