Love this FL350, it never fails to make me smile but I think I will be moving here soon and won't have space for it anymore at my new place.
I don't want to pay to store it and I have a couple of quads that I ride more often. Basically I need to downsize and could use the cash to pay off some bills also.
When I head for the woods it's usually on my 98 Banshee but the Odyssey is a blast too.
(Banshee rebuild video is here if anyone is interested:)

With that Banshee, you probably have the same "issue" I have with my 'Zilla: if you ride the quad before the buggy, the buggy feels like you're going in slo-mo.

Not only is the buggy a little slower, but the sit-down seat and harness make it feel even a little more slower (and comfortable, and safe, etc). You feel one with the buggy, but on the quad you're a totally separate entity hanging on and feeling every bump & corner. No doubt, both are fun as hell! But the buggy doesn't raise the hairs on my neck and curl my toes like the 'Zilla does! lol Hence why I originally started my Rotax swap -- I needed to raise the "Holy-Mother-of-God-that-was-awesome" bar a little. The buggies...I simply love the compact'ness of them, and they're basically mini off-road-a-mobiles. :-)


FYI: Dig the video, man. The music reminds me of the Honeywell "hold music" we used to have. Groovy instrumental stuff, lol.

I could not agree with you more man, the Banshee scares the crap out of me and I love it LOL.
I grew up riding quads and this was my first buggy. I really enjoyed it, wish I could keep it, but there is just not enough room for everything and I am not willing to store it outside here.

Looks like you have a lot of time and money invested and it turned out great but I think the price is a little steep. I'm not sayin that to be rude, just helping a fellow member. I had a hard enough time trying to get rid of my fl350 for 2,500. At your price, your starting to step into pilot pricing :-)

Agreed.

Can't put an $85,000 kitchen in a house that's in a $50,000/house neighborhood and expect to get it all back when you sell.

I've got my 4-buggies + spare parts for the family and I to enjoy together someday. Or...maybe that's just my excuse so the wife won't bug me about my hoarding! LOL! The Zilla is for me and my need-for-speed.

No offense taken but I am in no hurry to sell and try finding another one around here in this kind of shape for that price.
They all look great until you get up close and realize how much work they are going to need. This one needs nothing.
If you or anyone you know are interested in buying it go ahead and shoot me an offer, the worst I can say is no!

I am well aware of that and thanks for the input but this isn't my first rodeo. I have owned and sold many quads and bikes and I believe 4k is a good starting point for this little buggy considering the condition and rarity of the item. Sure you can get a Pilot for 4K-5K in some areas of the world but try finding one here in Northern California- and in good running shape? I can always lower it down if I don't get any hits in a few months. Again thanks for the input but I think I will leave it posted at 4K for awhile.

Buyer changed his mind because he found one closer to him (he was in Idaho).
Asking price has now been reduced to $3500.
