Find the Best
Free Sources of Used ATV Prices.
The
best free sources of used ATV prices may not seem that obvious at
first. There really are no specific used four wheeler price guides. Not
to worry
- there are a couple of good guides available if you know where to
look. And that's what we're here to help with.
The online
versions of the NADA Guide and the Kelly Blue Book both have motorcycle
sections. Buried within those sections are what you're after
-
used atv prices. If you're looking for used UTV or Side x Side prices,
they're in there too.
You might need a little help finding what
you need so we'll give you a few tips for using each guide. Keep in
mind the used ATV prices you see listed are just a "best estimate" and
you should just think of them as a starting point for negotiating the
best price for your used ATV.
There are some dealers and even
individual sellers that may try to make you think these prices are
etched in stone. Now you know better. OK, let's take that first step to
getting you a good deal on the used ATV you have picked out.
Click here for the NADA Guide for used ATV
values.
This link will take you to the main page for used power sports prices.
Find the Motorcycles/ATVs section near the top of the page. Click on
the first letter of the manufacturer's name you want to see. Look for
the maker's name and then click on the year model you want. Finally,
click on the model you want.
Now that you're on the right page
for the year, make and model of your future 4 wheeler, there's one more
step. You can select any optional equipment that may be on the used
ATV. Or if you just want to see what an option is worth, that's fine
too. When you're done, click on the "Get Used Value button".
Like
magic - there are the used 4 wheeler prices you wanted. Be sure and
read the
value explanations at the bottom of the page. Remember these prices are
intended for ATV dealers, so they tend to be a little high.

This is the guide mentioned most often. I think the prices listed tend
to be higher than the NADA guide. Probably why dealers like to mention
"Blue Book" ATV prices. One different thing this guide shows is the
trade-in value of a four wheeler. But it only has a single retail value
and it's usually high.
Bottom line is you really need to check
both guides to get a good price bracket for the real value of a used
ATV. Neither guide shows a wholesale price but you can estimate it
yourself. I look at the trade-in value from the Blue Book and the low
retail from the NADA.
Wholesale value will fall somewhere
between these two numbers. That's also a pretty fair value for a used
ATV from a private seller. The more homework you do at this stage, the
better your chances of getting a good deal.
You can check your
local newspaper classifieds for a good idea of used ATV prices in your
area. If you have more time, it's a good idea to call a few
dealers, and check Internet classified sites. I like to look on E-bay
to see what used ATVs really sold for.
All these sources of
used ATV prices should give you a good idea of what your favorite
machine is worth. Since they were all free, you'll have even more to
spend on it!
