Found a Honda Odyssey 4 sale.....TEMPTING!!!!!!
Found an Odyssey for sale down the road from me (3 hours away).
 DG Exhaust and top end rebuilt....... looks in good shape. http://ocala.craigslist.org/mcy/1543640695.html I didn't spend as much on the bass boat as I budgeted so I have over a thousand $$ extra to spend on another ATV and a Buggy. Maybe I should stick to the original ATV/Buggy budget and get this too?! Tough decision.............

That's a pretty decent price considering it looks to be in good shape, as well as the new top end with wiseco pistons and the dg pipe. My only thing against them is they roll very easy. I never rolled one but seen many of my friends roll them, lack of driving skill on their part I guess.

If that buggy runs you should jump on it.

Good price! With a little TLC and some slight restoration work you should be able show a decent profit on a resale. That price is so tempting. If it was closer to me, it would be worth at least a go-look- see to check it out!

The odyssey is probably my favorite machine to date. The 250, however, are not. No suspension. The 350's...different story and the Pilot is my ultimate favorite.

I would definitely agree with what BuggyMaster just said about no suspension.

Def get it.They are a real lil balltearer.Teaches ya how to drive at relatively low speeds.Plus when ya finished with it,sell it and min get ya $$$ back,more often ya make $$$ on the good ones.Buying cheap is FALSE economy.They more than hold their value.
I have had several of em back then,progressed up to several 350's,then Pilots,and now with my Drakart Formula Cross 600 Rotax. I feel that the rep that they got was largely due to drivers expecting TOO much from a non-rear susp,plus over inflated tyres,making them more bouncy! I actually tried to roll one at the dunes years ago,but my natural defensive driving must have been dominant and could'nt.Then when I relaxed and thought I was'nt trying,I rolled it! See what I mean?  Check out Hoser's PO site. Lots of great info and help.Tell im Baz sent ya. http://pilotodyssey.com/phpBB2/index...5c2b38c4363185 |

Well, the little woman put the kabosh on my plan. I can only get a two-seater buggy or UTE. She doesn't want me going anywhere without her!
I'm getting at least one more ATV too, but it's hard to find rec vehicles that aren't torn up!

There is a guy selling a 260 viper if you might be interested. That Joyner is to wide for many trails in OHV parks and the parts cost a bunch of money. The Viper rides very smooth and is built like a tank. At least the one I rode in last year.
I'll see if I can find the link for it.

Yeah, the Sand Spider is 65" wide, EJ. I need one 60" wide or less to ride the OHV trails in Apalachicola. That, power and decent suspension have been my main problems in finding something in this area.
She's not the "just ride along" type BM, she'll be wanting to drive half the time.................

All the 250 Joyner sand vipers I have heard about are right at 60" from what I've been told. I can let you know first hand tomorrow evening.
