Dude, if I were you I would not even think about buying that pos. I would kick that dealer in the nuts though. He should basically give that thing away, based on the probs you listed it had. My god, you can get a brand new one at ebay for $3,500. I know you want to trade though. JMO

Unless the dealer can prove that all the updates and the crank is balenced Its not worth the trade. Unless your rafter is badly beaten. Cdales take a lot more regular mateinece then your rafter does. For a dale in bad shape he'd be lucky to get 3000 out of it. Ive seen some nicely set up with everything dales go for 3000-4000.

If any thing the raptor would be a equal trade for a good condition cannibal. This ones got problems so steer clear.

the trade might be worth it. the dale should be new and not to many hours and not that bad wrecked cause that could mean not well maintained or taken care of. the leak in the back should be the gas line from the bottom outlet.i wouldnt worry to much about that. oh the intake is in the front under the plastic. a seat and plastick shouldnt be that much. raptors are nice and good for trails bet so are the dales.. i have had several of quads from blasters to banshees and the FX just kills all. love it

i wouldnt do it that dealer is crazy if u have all that done to your raptor its worth alot more than a cannibal 440 there brand new for 3500$ and then that guy wants 900$ more hes try to rip u off buddy!especially if it has the problems hes talking i would just pop for the things that are wrong on your raptor.
