racinfarmer Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 My friend has been looking for a ZR600 EFI or F6 to race classic class on ice with. He can't find a ZR600 he'd bring home for under $2500 and he hasn't found a F6 he'd bother bringing home yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) I have my sled for sale. I get multiple offers on market for 11,500, they want to come at 10pm with cash to by it, or never show up during the day. Like no I don’t want some random I don’t know at my house at 10pm.

He found a minty 2000 ZR600 2k Edition for like $2500 or so in Iowa that he was thinking about going to buy to race. Said he might as well start with a really good one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sold that thing way too cheap even in a regular market. There is 2 19 6000 Limited cats on marketplace by me right now for over 11k. Both have 2xxx miles, makes me really wonder if I need to keep the one I bought for my gf with 1400 miles on it 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, she should be home doing your laundry, washing dishes, cleaning the house and making your dinner while you are out riding with the boys.

mnstang Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Yes there are some sleds marked up very high, but I still see alot of sleds that seem like they are very reasonably priced to me. I don't think 1250 for a 95 xlt is horribly under priced. I don't know what's going on in the market now. Some of these 5+ year old sleds listing for over 10 grand has me confused. But you have to remember that list price doesn't equal sale price. Buddy sent me a nice looking 600 ace skidoo with under 1000 miles for like 7 grand. There's still alot of fair deals out there which tells me those super overpriced sleds might not be selling. I still see lots of 19's listing for more than I paid for my 19 otd when it was new.

The problem is so many of those sleds are 6-8+ hours one way for him, and now we are less then 2 weeks out from race season. That El Tigre is tempting, but on an 80 or 81 Cat with no sparky-spark, it is a quick hard-no. Goofy ignition that can be very hard to get parts for.

That being said, there's some minty sleds in Iowa. The Cross Country (imo) would be a great starting point. Ticks all the 'nice to have' boxes, easy to work on, parts are relatively cheap and it appears one could run it as is and tinker from there. I tossed the Tiger in there, because Vintage and I've seen much worse for more $ recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less then 2 weeks out from race season makes it a tough go of it when you only want to run ice races and stay on a Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given up on finding him a sled. One week his is super particular, the next week he is happy as a pig in slop to pay 2x what some ratted out POS is worth just to have something. I found him a $1300 98 600 that was "good enough", a VMAX 600 that ran and drove for $250 and looked decent, and a EX570 for $400 or $500 that I all thought would do well on the ice in the classic class, or at least get his sorry ass out there. I was really pushing for the VMAX. Edited December 7, 2021 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnDean Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 I am sure I could of held out a little more money, maybe 1500, but time spent dealing with people on a old sled is just not worth to me. Sunday morning about 11am I decided to sell that sled, by 2 that afternoon it was on a truck and gone, listing was removed and I was done with reading dumb ass offers and stupid questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him I'd give him $250 and hope to recover my money parting it out. I have never seen a "good running driving" machine that bad before. Minimum of 1" of sludge in the entire bellypan.

One in Green Bay, one south of Milwaukee and one near Eau Claire. Planned a route to look at all of them, left with $ in hand, first sled in GB was not as good in person as the pics, drove to a dealer near MWKE and it was exactly what I wanted - left a $100 CC deposit to hold it until Monday at noon, then drove to EC, sled was nice looking from 10 feet, then I start inspecting and there was hidden sin. Called dealer by MKE, told him I'd be down the following Saturday morning with the rest of the $ in cash. 600 miles round trip in the truck in one day, and a done deal. still have it, still love it. drove to Benton IL for my bass boat, 923 mile day - only because I stayed at my aunts near Racine flew to Kentucky to inspect/buy a car, drove home around 700 miles and made it home by midnight some times you've just gotta leave your area code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last hauler came from California, sight unseen, after it sat in pretty much the desert for the better part of 5 years. All 18 new tires, a good onceover at the local Freightshaker dealer, and we hit the road back to the midwest. Left it at the place that built the coach and trailer for a refurb and skin jobber. The current one came from Arkansas. Now when it comes to this particular friend, he is a little different and I'm just along for the ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
