  • Whats the value 8X8 Conquest

    I am currently looking at getting a new Argo. This would be my first Argo, so I would like to get some input from the forum. So my question to you is what would you pay for this unit. Thanks.

    8x8 Argo conquest 1998 or 1999
    Kawasaki liquid cooled motor.
    91 hrs
    3000lb super winch
    18in plastic track
    Bilge pump
    Skid plate
    Outboard motor mount
    Cloth pop up duck blind
    Aluminum/plexy glass enclosure (pictured)

    Agro was stored in a heated shop.

      It belongs to a man in town so personal use. I have heard it run and it sounds great. Bearings im not so sure about. What does it cost for new ones? Also is that enclosure made by argo? He said it was but the ones they offer now appear to be a cloth/plastic cover.

        NOT an Argo/ODG option enclosure!! It might have been a dealer made product, totally different "animal" all together!
        Bearings are available from several tractor supply stores, just check thier quality vs. one from ODG.

              What are your plans for the machine? Hunting,fishing or just trail riding?
              Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways , cigar in one hand, whiskey in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!!"

                    Then this would fit you usage. One the tracks are worth about 2,200 if the are new or in good shape around 1,000. The Atgo cover is about 1,500 to 1,700 this is all U.S. dollars(This is not a Argo cover but a very nice looking cover and would suit you needs very nicely). Skid plate around 350.00 and wench your guess is as good as mine, don't know the brand. If the machine is in good shape and just by looking at the seat covers from a distance they look to be in good shape. Trans, motor, bearings, clutches should not be hurt with 91 hours on the machine. I now have 145 hours on my Avenger. Remember the machine is now 10 or almost ten years old, but... if the time meter is correct and not tampered with 10 hours a year is all it has been used and that is not bad. I know the exchange rate is different there but i seems to be a decent price for the machine.

                    As always remember buyer beware. Look through the site at previous checks for the bearings, clutches and assorted items. We probably need to start a thread for this type of subject.

                    Hope this helps!

                      take it out for a good ride, pull the floor pans, look at the chains and tensioners, (don't forget the two chains to the front axle) wiggle the wheels, check the engine coolant and oil. Run the motor for a while and make sure there is no smoke and then buy it. At $7000 if you would have to put a few bucks into it it's still a good buy.
