If you’re planning on buying or selling a used ATV, there’s a couple things you should know first. The last thing you want is to purchase an ATV from someone, only to have the cops come confiscate it for being stolen property. There are things you can do to protect yourself though. Having a bill of sale is the first most important thing to do.
The bill of sale is basically a document used to prove the ATV was bought or sold. Sometimes referred to as a proof of sale, the bill of sale is considered a valid legal document. The bill of sale should contain all the information needed to register the ATV. Some info to have on your bill of sale includes: buyer and seller information, VIN number, make, model, year, color, agreed price, mileage, and of course signatures.
You could always make your own bill of sale, which I’ll go over later, but here’s one with everything you need on it, you can just print it off and fill it out.

If you’re buying or selling a new ATV, you will most likely have a title to sign. This is usually found on the back or near the bottom of the title and it will be labeled ‘Assignment’ or ‘Transfer By Owner’.
As a buyer, you could take the signed title to your state and apply for a new title in your name. I still think it’s a good idea to have a bill of sale for this, but I know people have gotten away without one.
As a seller, you want to have a bill of sale to protect yourself. Let’s just say you sign the title over without a bill of sale. The buyer then goes and hurts themselves, others, or damages property with the ATV. If the buyer never went to the state and updated the title to their name, it’s still considered your ATV. You’re liable.
If you’re buying or selling an older ATV, the title might not always be available.
People lose or misplace titles all the time. But with a valid bill of sale, most states will let you apply for a new title in your name. This is needed if you ever want to register the ATV in your name. Some states even require ATV’s to be registered, and you need proof of ownership to do that.
Never buy an ATV without either a title or a bill of sale. If you do this, the original owner could then claim it stolen. Without proof of ownership, you wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.
Also be careful with newer ATV’s that have no title. Even if they give you a bill of sale, the title could still have liens or encumbrances placed on it. Meaning the owner hasn’t finished paying it off, or it has been used illegally in some way.
If you don’t want to use the bill of sale above, you could always make your own. Each state has its own rules on what a valid bill of sale needs to have on it, so check with your local authorities to find out what you need to have.
But, all bill of sale contracts must have at least the following:
Some states do require a notary to be present when both parties sign. You can have everything else filled out ahead of time. But if that’s the case, a notary needs to watch you both sign the bill of sale. Check with your local court system to see if you need a notary present.
That’s just the basics of what is needed for a legal bill of sale contract. You can type this up in a Word Doc, print it out, and you’re good to go. Even a hand written bill of sale is a legal contract. So in a pinch, you could just write this all out on a piece of paper.
The process of buying or selling an ATV is pretty straight forward. But if you haven’t done it before, this could be helpful. The first thing you would want to do is clean the ATV top to bottom. People just like seeing a clean machine, and doing this will help it sell faster.
You want to make sure the ATV is in good working order. Always make sure you sell it “as is” especially if there are problems you don’t want to fix. But the more you can fix and get taken care of, the more you could sell it for and the more buyers will be interested.
Before you start putting up ads for the machine, you’ll want to clear the title of any liens it may have on it.
This is a good time to get your title and registration info all together to be prepared for the sale.
Put up ads for your ATV. You could try selling to a dealer, but you tend to get more money doing a private sale. I like to use apps like OfferUp, LetGo, or ATV Trader. I’ve also used craigslist a lot in the past. If you’re a buyer, you’ll want to start looking in these places too.
This is the fun part for me, but I can understand why some people hate it. Once buyers start responding to your ads, they will usually have a counter offer. You will find that a lot of people don’t want to pay the price you advertised. You’ll get the occasional low baller too, don’t let that bother you. I don’t know how many times I’ve had someone offer me half what I listed the price at.
If you don’t want to do much negotiating, you could always state that your price is firm. That will help weed out some of the low ballers, and let you focus more on serious buyers.
You could also add a little to the price you’re willing to sell it at to account for negotiations.
Buyer beware, a lot of sellers add a few bucks to the amount they are willing to take. This is so that even after negotiations, they still get close to the price they wanted. It’s normal and it happens all the time, no one wants to pay full price. Try to have fun with the back and forth, it’s just an expected thing everyone does.
The buyer will want to inspect the ATV. If you don’t want to hire a certified mechanic to do the inspection, you can do it yourself. Check the ATV for rust or cracks in the frame. Check the welded areas of the frame for cracks also. After having a look at the tire tread, wheels, and suspension, you should check the air box.
Remove the seat and the air intake cover. If there’s dirt and water in the air intake box, it most likely got into the engine at some point. Put your hand near the engine to see how warm it is. The ATV might be hard to start and doesn’t run well until the engine is warmed up.
The seller could hide this from you by having the engine running for a while before you show up.
Now it’s time for a test drive. Take it easy since it’s not actually yours yet. You don’t want to piss off the seller by beating on the machine just to end up not buying it. All you’re really looking for is a smooth ride with the handling to your liking, and of course that the engine is running nicely.
When both parties agree on a price, you can then fill out the bill of sale. You can use the template I gave above, or make your own like we talked about above. Once the payment has been made, you can transfer the title over to the buyer. This is usually done by signing the ‘Assignment’ or ‘Transfer By Owner’ section of the title. If there is no title, the bill of sale can be used to order a new title in most states.
The new owner will have to reapply for a new title in their name. Either with the bill of sale or the title signed by the seller. Then, if your state requires it, you can register the ATV in your name.
There you go, time to enjoy your new ATV. Check out the Recommended Gear section of this site for all the proper gear needed to ride safely.

Buying Guides August 18, 2022
Pre-owned vehicles are in high demand, which is great news for ATV or side-by-side (SxS) owners who are looking to trade up to something new. That said, the task of selling or trading in your off-road vehicle is not always easy or entirely clear, and may even feel a little daunting. We’re here to help you simplify the process and make the best decisions for you.
If you're thinking about trading or selling your ATV or SxS, it’s important to be prepared.
A little legwork ahead of a sale or trade is the best way to ensure you have everything you need to make things go smoothly, and that you have done everything you need to get a deal you’re happy with.
If you’ve stayed on top of regular SxS or ATV maintenance, this step is easy. But if your vehicle is due for service, or if you’re behind on service, you’ll want to get it taken care of before you try to trade in an ATV or SxS. Make sure you’ve changed the oil, replaced air filters, added new tires (if needed) and more. If you're looking for some ORV maintenance know-how we have resources to help with that as well.
Schedule service at your preferred Polaris dealer to get your vehicle serviced!
Wear and tear on an off-road vehicle comes with the territory, but tending to some of that before you sell or trade your vehicle can often lead to improved value.
Take the time to touch up scratches, fix dents and replace damaged panels or parts, especially if any damage affects the operation or safety of the vehicle.
One of the simplest things you can do to get the most out of your sale or trade is to get your ATV or SxS clean. A little elbow grease and a lot of sudsy water from a mild detergent can go a long way toward a healthy shine and a positive outcome. If you’re looking for some great tips on how to tackle the mud and grime that comes from off-roading, check out this article:

Of course, making a sale or trade often requires some paperwork on both ends to ensure the legal transfer of property from one party to the other. Be sure to collect any documents you might have dealing with your purchase, title and maintenance of your vehicle and bring them when selling or trading.
Also be sure to check with your local or state government regarding title transfers for off-road vehicle sales.
If you’ve decided to trade in your vehicle, rather than sell it, there are a few things you’ll want to know about the process. It’s fairly easy and straightforward, but understanding your options before you proceed can help you get into a new vehicle without issue or unnecessary delays.
You might be surprised to know that you don’t have to trade an off-road vehicle for another off-road vehicle. In fact, there are many different types of powersports vehicles that you can put up for trade for a brand-new ATV or SxS. Many dealers will take watercraft, trailers, snowmobiles and more. Here are a few of your options:
Once you’ve decided on the vehicle or vehicles you want to trade in, it’s quite simple to find out what you could receive in return for your trade-in.
Fill out a request online using the link below to get a free estimate. Your information will be submitted to a local dealer to finalize all of the details and make the trade. Actual trade-in value offer is determined by your local authorized dealer.

Trading in your used ATV, SxS or virtually any other powersports vehicle is a great way to offset the cost of a new off-road vehicle. And with a little preparation, it’s not hard to do. So, start dreaming about what your new ride could look like and get your old one ready to fuel someone else’s off-road adventures.

In the garage for a year there was a motorcycle after a small accident, still decided to sell it, the guys did not offend, they pay well, well done!
The 21st century can be safely called office. Especially the last 5 years. More and more remote work appears, more and more specialties related to the IT sphere appear. And this means that people need not only more pants to wipe them on the office chair, but also more active forms of recreation, so as not to grow roots in the floor of the office or their own home.
One of the most actively gaining popularity types of recreation is quad biking. It is good because it will suit absolutely everyone: both lovers of easy walks in the forest or the coast, and those who crave thrills in impenetrable mountains, deserted fields and swamps.
If this is going to be your first ATV, then you can start with simple budget models, since you still won’t feel the difference now. And in order to spend a minimum of time on the purchase, keep five important tips for buying a quadric without a headache.
This is important to decide well before buying. If you have decided to ride this frisky iron pony for the first time, then it is preferable to opt for a new model.
First, the dealer always gives a guarantee. This will save you from problems in the event of a breakdown - you just drive the ATV to the service and experienced specialists will fix all the problems.
Secondly, an inexperienced quad rider will not be able to identify serious flaws or recognize technique after drowning.
Water is not the best companion for any transport and, in most cases, it is necessary to change the engine or transmission, and this is exactly half the price of the entire “pony”.
Thirdly, when you ride a certain amount of time and understand what you lack in a quadric and decide to buy a more powerful or comfortable one, it will be much easier to sell your predecessor. Equipment that had only one owner flies under the hammer much faster than the one that was in the hands of two or three people.
ATV . Single / double without a cab with a motorcycle landing (the passenger sits behind the driver) and a “bicycle” steering wheel. Such vehicles have a shorter wheelbase, which means better geometric cross-country ability and compact size. This makes the ATV more maneuverable, resistant to rollover. In addition, due to the mass of no more than 450 kg, it falls into the mud less.
SSV .
Two- / four-seater with a cabin similar to a car. Inside: there are seats, a round steering wheel, a wide dashboard. The long wheelbase of such all-terrain vehicles increases stability and controllability at high speeds, the load capacity is much higher - up to 400 kg. But such quads will not be so maneuverable and are more like a full-fledged off-road car.
The choice depends on your goal: whether it will be solo “rides” or whether you are ready to take passengers on board for joint entertainment.
It is obvious that the leaders in the production of equipment are the Japanese. Brilliant Asians have thought through and invented literally everything. Moreover, it also works great! Therefore, we recommend that you look at Yamaha, Honda. These are reliable and durable ATVs that are not scary to buy even with hands. Used options can be easily chosen among the options of 2002-2007 release years.
Canadian BRP technology has become very popular in recent years.
Over the 70 years of their existence, they have learned to make vehicles equipped with literally everything. And each new model is becoming more and more perfect vehicle, capable of surviving in literally any conditions.
American Polaris is also a quality, hard-working brand. The engines have high traction performance and a degree of safety.
In recent years, many Chinese manufacturers have appeared on the market, attracting with their price. Despite the fact that China is advancing and improving quite quickly in the production of any goods, nevertheless, it is still inferior in quality to top brands. Parts for such ATVs are cheap and affordable, but, most likely, the need for them will arise more often than after buying the same Bierpie.
When choosing a good ATV, pay attention to the main performance characteristics, namely:
Engine size. For hunting, fishing, sports, driving on a dirt road, 150-230 cm3 will be enough.
To dive into extreme tourism, you should choose a powerful engine of 350-689 cm3.
Power. For light riding or training, 13-15 hp will be enough for you. If the plans are full-fledged trips through the endless impassability of our Motherland (and we mean mountains and forests, not cities in the middle zone), then you should put a pony with a capacity of up to 45 horsepower in a stall. It is horse, not pony.
Transmission. Mechanical - suitable for moving on more or less flat roads, as it requires attention when switching gears.
CVT - suitable for hunting or fishing, where in manual mode it is necessary to switch gears only in loose areas or when encountering obstacles.
Automatic gearbox. She controls the speeds depending on the engine speed and road conditions. You can focus entirely on the route or immerse yourself in the performance of a sports stunt.
Cooling system. You should not allow the engine to overheat, which means you need to choose the right cooling system for your needs.
The air type is suitable for lighter fishing or hunting trips, for example. If everything is hardcore for you, then it is better to choose a fluid system that will provide the quadric with more heat transfer, and you will have peace of mind during extreme recreation.
Well, the last but the main advice. Before choosing an ATV, think carefully for what purpose you need it: sports, walking or extreme riding. It depends on the amount you invest. Better yet, first rent an ATV a couple of times and understand whether you will ride it from time to time or whether you claim to be a quadro-maniac. In this case, of course, it is worth buying your own transport, but you also need to approach the choice more carefully - you will need more than five tips.
And if you do not want to delve into the intricacies of choice and want to immediately get a good ATV that meets your needs, then you can always turn to specially trained people who, for some fee, are engaged in the selection of auto and motorcycle transport. As a rule, these are well-versed people who know the design of an ATV, have information about new products and have all the necessary technical means that can identify all the shortcomings of a vending instance.
But whatever your goal when buying an ATV, be prepared to shell out a tidy sum for the transport itself, accessories, equipment and storage space. If you have a small one-car garage, then it is worth considering an alternative shelter for the ATV, where it will live quietly and not interfere with you during your daily use of the car.
A garage 3-4 meters long is suitable for an ATV. As with any vehicle, the roof and walls must be airtight. In order for it to serve you for more than one year, you should pay attention to iron garages. They are not only durable, the formation of mold and guests in the face of rodents is excluded. The SKOGGY metal garage is designed just for storing equipment such as an ATV. It is made of the professional sheets processed from corrosion.
The roof does not leak, the installed drains remove all the consequences of precipitation, just do not forget to periodically clean it from leaves, sticks, birch buds and other debris.
The collapsible design will allow you to move the garage from place to place, unless of course there is a need for this. You never know, suddenly you decide to move on your ATV to another house. You can take the garage with you. Yes, and if you are planning a rearrangement on your site, a couple of hours - and the garage is dismantled. We rested, decided on a new place, another hour or two - and the garage for the ATV is already in a new place.
You can choose a collapsible garage design from profiled sheets, or you can choose a frame one. In the second case, the garage is also collapsible, but the frame is assembled before sheathing with corrugated board.
