Dinli and Linhai ATVs

[2g00d4u]

I've noticed these big bore 4x4 ATVs turning up on Kijiji, But they aren't the conventional import quads, they seem really well built. I'm considering financing one because they are ridiculously cheap compared to name brand stuff new, and very large machines, which I like.

Take a look:

I'm still skeptical... Sure, they look good all shiny and new, but swamp one out and ride it hard all season and see what happens. Might hold up fine, or might not. Who knows?

I DO know that other machines coming from overseas have had all kinds of electrical and build-quality problems. I worked on a go-kart from Taiwan the other day and, while it ran and rode, it was absolute junk. Lots of electrical generators and lawn equipment from "over there" are also POS. The build quality has gotten better over the years, but its still not as good as the current Japanese standard. If Cannondale engineering experience is lending a hand, things might be better, but IDK.

Personally, I don't trust and wouldn't own a Chinese or Taiwanese ATV. I'd save the $$ and get myself a good used Honda or Kawasaki 4x4, or maybe an Argo or Max 6x6 for those serious mud holes. You can get parts for all these machines nationwide, or at least with a little Google searching. Furthermore, there are enough of them out there that you can get an idea of what breaks on a certain model, and what lasts just fine. Hell, the Argo's and Max's use Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, and Kawasaki utility engines which are supported by the local lawnmower shop. My .02

Yea I was thinking that, but the price for what you get is very tempting, and it has a 3 year warranty, serviced at the dealer.

Make sure you can get parts if it breaks thats usually the bad part about rip off quads

Really? I didn't know that. I was really considering buying the Linhai 400. Good deal on a decent size quad.
