The advent of the quad, or the all-terrain vehicle (ATV), in the 1970s brought forth a new extreme sport. The quad has come a long way from the initial design that featured balloon tires and minimal shocks. Now, ATVs are as specialized and finely tuned as the vehicles we use to drive to and from work. Quads are not only great for recreation, but are also ideal tools for many outdoor professions. Quads are often used by construction workers to move swiftly through rugged construction sites. Demolition teams may also use ATVs to travel around demolished building sites. Quads are often practical vehicles for hunters and trappers who have to travel over many different kinds of terrain to track their quarry.
As with used cars and trucks, you'll find that there are many ways to find out the value of a used ATV. One of the best ways to determine the value of used ATVs is to review Completed Listings on halfvalue Motors and look at the price at which they sold. To find completed listings, click on the check-box beside Completed Listings in the left-hand navigation options of any halfvalue Motors ATV search results page. Additionally, the National Automobile Dealers Association (N.A.D.A.) and Kelley Blue Book publish books that provide guidance regarding the value of the ATV you're selling or looking to buy. These books can be found at most book stores. You can also visit the N.A.D.A. or Kelley Blue Book websites to look up ATV values.
ATVs or quads should be used with respect and knowledge. In the hands of an inexperienced driver, four-wheelers and ATVs can be a danger to both the driver and anyone in the immediate vicinity. Most high-powered ATVs are not intended for riders under the age of 16.
