The X4 Thread

[suke]

That ski is worth more than $1750. Maybe not to a guy that doesn't care it's a rare 99 SPX that is minty clean, but there is a market of buyers who care about those things an recognize it's value.

I sold a mint 95 XP800 with heavy mods for $6k probably 5 years ago. I have also been offered $3k for my resto 95XP800 on two occasions. His asking price isn't far off, just to you cheap assess lol

Also as we talked today X4s around here rarely come up, yet alone in good condition. The market here it's worth it, the market in Fl likely couldn't get that price.

100% Agree with this. This is a harder to find X4 so you gotta pay to play. On top of that, its hard to find a nice x4 on a trailer for 1750 its usually 2200-2600

Guess I'm just used to Florida prices lol

 

[suke]

yeah the rest of us don't generally have to deal with salt, so that always tends to add some to the price as it isn't going to be a mofo to try to take apart/work on.

Due to a series of unfortunate events I've yet to try it out. Grommets should be here tomorrow, but I'm heading out of town for a week. So doubt I'll get to try it out until after I get back. Ugh! Planning to head up to Mpowers when I get back so need to have it all sorted by then so I can actually ride. Hah!

Would a 97 SP be considered an X4?

 

[Matt Braley]

Yup. That's the one folks always forget about. If it has replaceable trim tabs it's an X4

 

[TLH101]

Well, it has a recess for tabs, but never had tabs.

 

[Matt Braley]

Interesting. Looks like an X4 to me though. Seems like the nose would fly up constantly, I guess not with only half the HP.

 

[TLH101]

Hopefully, we will see this weekend. I bought this, a blown-up '98 GSXL, and a nice tandem trailer, with all good paper, for $800 a couple weeks ago. The SP ran, but still had grey lines, so I am changing all the lines and cleaning carbs now.

 

[DAGRE147]

Nice find man

amen to that. my buddy bought a 96 with UMI and engine still under warranty for $1500 and he was actually b1tching a little bit about paying that much

 

[Gaige23]

Few shots from yesterday. I absolutely love how this ski turned out.

It is completely spot on too, Matt did an amazing job on the carbs and helping me piece everything together.

Saw a guy on a stock 98 SPX that was super clean. Told him I'd buy it no questions asked and gave him my number. I guess he is looking into going with a 4 stroke. Maybe I can add that after the season is over!

Just need a UMI steering setup now...

 

[Matt Braley]

That's great to hear thanks for the feedback. I'm glad your enjoying it.

 

[loungn14]

Here are some of my x4's

I have more at my house and outside :leaving:

ah so your the one that keeps grabbing them locally lol

I was trying to grab a 96 xp a few times and they were magically gone quickly

 

[Matt Braley]

Yup he's been bit and is just ate up with it. I know he scored a cool carbon fiber ski the other day. He has some stuff on ebay but nothing going cheap, don't blame him.

yup it all makes sense now....he has a ton of them up on local craigslist all the time. Perfect condition and great skis. I just wanted a runner I can have some fun with and refresh myself

 

[emspjay]

Well she came gone with me guys haha

So did you figure out what was wrong with it? Does it run??

 

[loungn14]

So I have the opportunity to pick this up for $1200 with the trailer. Seems like a solid deal as long as compression checks out. (I also assume will need to replace grey lines, and fix vts like any other one but thats easy)

Thoughts?

Looks clean, I like it. You might get your neighbors mail though with those registration numbers, lol. Hopefully it all checks out for you

 

[Matt Braley]

It looks like a very clean example with low use judging by the one pic. If everything checks out then 1200 would be a steal.

lololol I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out

I was thinking the same!

 

[Briar]

Gave 1500 for one like it with rebuilt engine

 

[loungn14]

So, I ended up getting it!

I was in shock. Stickers are in great shape, perfect compression, wear ring is good, vts works, and gauges all work and are in perfect shape. So I was thinking great restore job!

Then he pulled out the paperwork. Original owner from when it was new!

I think I got a killer deal!
