95 Yamaha Kodiak 400. Yes? No?

[Captain-Yamaha]

Heyy i am new to the atv buying thing so can you guys help me out. I

Found an old 95 kodiak 400 with 900 kms on it, body is in very good condition, no cracks, not faded, and everything works... On the body. The engine is a different story... It needs a new starter, battery and the tires are bald. Water might be in the gas tank. The atv is $800 good body condition. So yes or no? Anything will help thanks

Not that big if a deal but the seat is torn up too

Nada Guide is:

Excellent $2400

Very Good $1620

Good $750

Fair $300

I think $800 is too much for that and the condition. With no repairs needed and just regular wear and tear, $750 is a good value alone.

if the tires are bald then than tells me there is mor than 900 km's on it. i have ran atv's for 1500 miles and the original tires are still fine.

I think what has happend is he took of the stock tires and just put on some old tires, or the spedometer is messed up

Cause there is only 1/4 of an inch left on it

look at the oil. make sure he didn't sink it in water.

You should snap a picture and post it in this thread. Sounds to me like it's a $500 machine!

I'd be careful if you think that there's water in the oil pan/gas tank. Had a similar problem and let me tell you it's no fun. Try to talk him/her down to about $500-$650. I wouldn't pay anymore than that for a 95 in that condition. You mentioned that the fenders were in good condition? That's always a plus. Very hard to find fenders for an old machine that won't run you about $300 D:

He claims he didnt sink it, i was wrong there is NO water in the oil or gas pan, the seat is torn up because of his cat (so he says) and I have a picture but not to sure how to put it on here =\

Ihave a 95 Kodiak myself.I have found alot of parts on E-Bay,like starters and things.If there's water in the tank it can be drained out.I have found that an additive called "Sea foam" is a real good gas treatment for water in the tank and as well good for the ethanol that has been put in the gas.I purchaced mine for $1100.So id say you got a good price for the avt.Its just my opinion.
