Not sure what year but probably in the 2000's. It is camo with winch but carb is missing. Less than 100 hours on it. Tires are great. What should I expect. Frontier 650 with a vanguard. Any help would be great. Thanks

That´s a tricky one...Argos do tend to keep their value,but without a carburetor you won´t be able to check the engine,transmission,drive train.....The body is a big factor of course,are there any holes (even if they are patched),cracks etc,the price should go down (since body parts are quite expensive).
Why is the carb missing?it´s sounds a little odd to me.
In general one can say:what can´t be proved to be working has to be assumed defective!
And don´t fall for:"that´s just a little bit of work!"cause if it would be,why didn´t they fix it BEFORE putting it up for sale?
Hope that helps for the moment,please give us a little bit more info on the machine

I agree with G.Originally posted by G__ View Post
Why would someone remove the carb and toss it/lose it? with 100hrs I just don't see it. It's possible they let it sit outside and it corroded/siezed the shafts. Or maybe it sat for a few years and gummed up the carb so that it needed a rebuild/cleaning.....but then how did it get lost???
I would assume it needs a new motor at a minimum.......what is the asking price? Call the factory with the serial# to find out what year it is.
There was a dealer in Ohio selling a new argo 6x6 on craigslist...don't remember the year 2010 or 2009, or model # but the price was approx $8000. Keep that in mind when people say thier 1992 machine is a 2004 and its worth $10,000. LOL That new car you bought and drove off the dealer lot 10 minutes ago is only worth 80% of what you paid. And in a year it will be worth 60% even if parked in the garage and not driven.
If you post your location, maybe a local member will go with you to look at it.Comment
