johnf Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've been whining about getting an atv now for 7 years to my wife. She told me this week I could get one for fathers day and I've been looking pretty hard sence, calling every place on the West side of Arkansas. Yesterday afternoon before school was out I saw a new black (not my first choice) 2007 Suzuki Ozark, which is my first choice, on ebay. The opening bid was $2500 I asked my wife if I could bid on it. When we looked up where it was we figured it would cost about $200 in gas to go get it. I figured I would lowball it and maybe get lucky. So I put a lowball maximum bid of $2650 (which includes sales tax and all that other crap they add) down on it. Low and behold I got the sucker!!!!!!!!!! The lowest price I could find at a dealer here on one was $3450, everyone else was $3800 and up. I'm leaving at 4AM tomorrow morning to pick it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 way to go, john, and good luck picking it up. i hope the seller has lots of good ratings, and that this is a square deal. i've bought bunches on ebay, but you do have to be cautious.

johnf Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Great deal, they had everything ready when I got there. I got the trailor hitch and a camo helmet. Didn't get the full face, kinda wish I did. Should I try to trade it? (the helmet) I've ridden about 30 minutes and had a great time. I'm a little skittish, believe it or not, I've never ridden an ATV more than 1 hour my whole life. I am dog tired. It was about a 5 hour drive up there and back. We left at 4AM and got back home at 6PM after stopping for meals and gas. I took my brother up there in my dad's little Nissan truck sence it gets such good milage. It ended up costing about $80 in gas, so I don't think there's any way I could have beaten the deal. Anyway you can't beat that price with a big stick. Pics will come, but probably later this week. I'm still up here nursing my dad with his hip replacement. (He didn't put up much of a fight when I took his truck, but I gave it back to him with a full tank after stealing it with 1/4:rolleyes:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaret Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Awesome John! I've gotten some good stuff from ebay. I got a Victrola Phonograph that was made in the 30's for 130 dollars when other phonographs were a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
