Whatzit worth (old 4x2 Gator)

[Bob_Young]

Hi,
Thinking I might want a new HPX for use on my farm; the true 4x4 and a lift would be useful. But before pricing one, I'd like to get some idea of what the Gator I have is worth.

My Dad bought it new in the late 80s or early 90s. It's a 4x2 with no options and has a 10HP Kawasaki engine. I think it corresponds to the current Traditional TS model.

It's low time (but no hourmeter) and looks pretty good except for a few small rusty spots in the bed. Having been used mostly for short firewood hops and for spraying a few fruit trees, it probably doesn't have over 200 hrs. on it....maybe only half that. It's a good reliable little machine, but with 4x2 it's nearly useless in snow.

Last year I had an old snowblower with a for sale sign sitting in the bed of the Gator out next to the highway. People kept stopping to ask what I wanted for the Gator.

Would like to know what I'd likely get on a trade vs. what I might ask if I sold it myself.
Thanks,
Bob

Ebay seems to be a good place to look. $2500 is the average starting point~!

My mother-in-law bought one just like you have last year. It was a '92, she bought it from a private party, and paid $3500. It looked like it just rolled off the dealer floor. I doubt it had 100 hrs on it either. All she has done is put a new battery in it...and a few dents! She isn't real handy at backing!

Thanks, Skip. Didn't think of Ebay. For $2500, I'd probably rather keep it. $3500 might be worthwhile.

Thanks.
Bob
