Hi everyone, name is Mike and I’m from upstate NY. I picked up a 2003 Yamaha Grizzly 660 on craigslist yesterday. I bought it for $2,800 including a Warn winch and plow. It has under 400 miles on it but over 300 hours, the guy never took it off his property and used it for plowing, salting, and other yard related things. It’s runs really nicely, starts up each time and has never had to manually be pull started. I’m just a little concerned about the rust and am hoping you guys could offer your opinion on it. I took a screwdriver to a few parts of it and it was solid, not soft. Some of the rust flaked off, I noticed it on the floor of my trailer after I hauled it home and also after hitting the frame with the screwdrvier. Do you guys think it’s surface rust or something I should be concerned with? You think it was a good deal? I would like to use the quad for local trails and would like it to last, so IDK if I should sell it and get something less rusty or not.
Thanks,
Mike
