New FX HO

timber · 10-02-2009, 05:56 PM

I pulled the trigger today on a 2006 Yamaha FX HO with 75 hours and an ezloader trailer for $5400. I am picking it up next week. This is my first pwc, and I can't wait to take it out.

Pics to come!

That's a good buy. You will enjoy your HO.

I'm envious... Yesterday I looked at a 2006 FX HO, 85 hrs. They want 6900, no trailer, so you seem to have a very good buy.

David C, I don't know how far you are willing to travel but there are a ton of great pwc's in North Carolina. Check out http://www.crazedlist.org/. You can search many craigslist locations at the same time. I did see a few nice pwc's in NC using that website. Good Luck.

timber,
I have been checking craigslist, primarily Charlotte area, almost daily for a few weeks. And cruising dealers for "newish" holdovers, etc. Want a new 2009 FX HO, but really can't justify buying two of these to replace the two Raiders I have. One at a time can happen if I buy almost new instead. Hope to test a couple this weekend if weather cooperates.

Thanks

Edit: Several of those craigslist models are not near as nice as the ads make them sound! Tha is why I am moving slow.

That is a steal of a deal. Make sure its been serviced or do it yoruself... plugs, oil/filter, possibly air filter, butthat can wait another coupel dozen hours if not dirty, lube all lube points, ride it like you stole it, because you almost did..

Thanks Bulldog, The deal fell through. I noticed the seat and gauge pod didn't match. dealer (consignment) was selling an 04 model advertised as an 06. When I called him out on it he could not reduce the price.
