I have been ATV researching for about a year now and had narrowed my pick to a 450 EPS Grizzly. Have been pricing them out recently and been quoted $7200-7400 out the door for a 2014 450 EPS, which I thought was reasonable. Well this past weekend I was with a couple of buddies looking for parts for one of their quads, when we stopped by a dealer. As we are walking around and window shopping we noticed a 700 EPS Grizzly sitting there. It was red and looked brand new and my buddies were saying what a beast that is. I had seen the 700’s and never even thought about one because I personally didn’t need or want anything bigger than a 450.
Well as we were walking out and half ass chatting with the sales guy about the Grizzly, he says " that’s the best deal he’s got going on the floor" says its a 2008 EPS, 196 miles & 22 hrs asking $5500. As you can imagine all of us stooped in our tracks and were like WHAT!
Damn thing was practically brand new, a few scuffs here and there, still had nipples on tires….I had no intention of buying a quad but after doing the math, $7400 brand new 450 or barely broken in 700 for $5500….needless to say, I’m the new owner of a 700 Grizzly!
Just curious what your thoughts are on the price?
