That's a good quad and as long as the price is right, I would get it, Check sites like KBB.com for the resale value. As far as checking, you'll want to see how many hours/miles are on it if it has a display/speedo. Look at the overall condition of teh plastics, frame, tires, rims...to see how hard it was ridden. Check the oil level and condition. Open the seat and see what it looks like under there. Start it up and see how it runs. @Frank Angerano buys a lot of used atvs and knows what to look for.

Hey @Lellwyn Griffin I was just looking at the exact same bike to buy in NJ. Same color etc.  it had a plow and winch installed the bike was in great shape. I wound up going for something a little better but also sad I didn’t grab it.  The guy wound up selling it for $2600 I believe. Great bike.  

But like @Ajmboy said I buy a lot of bikes.  The things I look for are color and clarity of oil, wiring work that has been done by others, take a good look at the frame for repairs like welding work or bends in the frame from a wreck Check the plastics underneath for mismatch colors. A quick look at the carburetor to make sure it’s not a cheap aftermarket. And I always take a quick compression reading.  Anything  from 150 to 180 psi is good and usually within range for that cc engine.  Go through all the gears and if possable I like to raise up the wheels off the ground and spin the tires to see if they wobble (bent axles or rims) or have any movement in the bearings.

post some more pics I would love to see it. 

Good luck

      2003 Prairie 360 Won't Start
      By HighPlainsIT
      My son's trying to get a 2003 Prairie 360 running. Over a year ago, he'd rebuilt the carburetor using a SHINDY 03-112 rebuild kit from JT Cycle & ATV, and it was working fine; however, when it wouldn't run recently, he took the carb apart and the jet needle was rusted in place. He cleaned that up as good as possible and replaced the jet needle with the old one that wasn't rusty. Now, he can only get it to start about 1 out of 5 tries, and when it does start, it won't run unless the choke's on. The spark plug's good and is sparking. It has compression. Any ideas on what he should try next or look into?

      '97 Prairie 400 -- I need some help!
      By Ant-Knee
      I recently picked up a '97 Prairie 400 4x4 that didn't run. I didn't get much information from the previous owner except that it was running a couple of weeks ago, then started losing power. After that, it just wouldn't do anything... no crank, no start. The electric start didn't do anything and the pull start seemed locked up. When I got it, it had no fluids whatsoever—no oil, no coolant, nothing. I figured the engine was seized. I took the pull start recoil off and tried turning it with a wrench but it didn't move. I took out the spark plug and put some lubricant in the spark plug hole. After a while, I was able to get it moving and it turns now but isn't super easy to turn. I put oil and coolant hoping it would fire up but still nothing. I took out the starter and tested it and it worked perfectly. I tested the starter solenoid and it clicked so I assumed it is working. The battery is good and holding a charge. I also put in a new spark plug as the old one was somewhat corroded but didn't look that bad. After I tested the starter, I put it back in and ran some power directly to the starter. It started cranking the first time I gave it power but didn't do anything after that one time.
      Any ideas of what I should do next would be greatly appreciated. Always wanted a quad so I really want to make this work but not sure if it is do=able.

      No spark 97 Kawasaki Prairie 400
      By Kansasprairie400
      Was riding my prairie 400 the other day started to miss out and then just died no spark I pulled the seat off. The battery was swelled up. I replaced the battery would not start no spark pull the control unit and there was a round quarter inch hole broken out of the Gel coating on the back. I figured it was an internal issue and ordered a new module still no spark, replace spark plugs and coil still no spark. I’ve checked all the wiring and cannot find any issues. I am not that tech savvy and really need some help. Anyone have any ideas? thank you.

      Looking for suggestions for great places to ride around Colville,WA?
      By TravisCr
      The family has two quads and have been asking where to ride around here- we are about 70 miles north of spokane and looking for places that are nice to go visit for beginners.
      We have a 2003 Polaris sportsman, and a 2004 Artic Cat 2-up (I forget the size)

      1997 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 - issues post ring job
      By PIYIRIO
      Hi all - I recently had a shop fix this quad and it hasn't been right since. The jug was resealed as it was leaking, the rings were replaced, and the valve stem seals replaced. Shop said the cylinder walls were great so nothing was done there. The motor still smokes, heavily on startup and all but quits once warmed up. Enough that I can live with it if I can fix what I came to ask about. I mentioned this work because since I've gotten it back it seems like it has power but tops out at a much slower speed than before. It's old so I don't have a speedo but I pulled out my phone at it tops out at 25 mph. I know before the work, I was getting up to 45+ mph... It's so bad, my 10 year old daughter is pulling away and straight leaving me in the dust with her governed Polaris 90.
      Given the work done, what are some thing I could be the cause of such a drastic difference? I immediately thought timing but the marks appear to match up with a youtube video I found... no idea if it's correct though. It sat in another shop for 2 months and they gave me an $800 quote just for the starter... it pull starts fine. 
      FYI: I would take it back to the original shop to figure out but I had some issues that make them a no-go for me.
