Alright if any of you have seen my ad on here for my ATV, i got it through a trade. I had a 1991 jeep cherokee (was gunna make is a trail rider). I then had it sold for $500 (making $100, since i bought it for $400). The guy said he didnt want it AFTER he paid me, i told him as-is but i felt bad for the guy. He let me keep $100, for all the trouble. I also got a free oil change and a exhaust!!! so that 1991 Jeep really cost my $300..

After about a month of have it sitting, I found a guy about 1hr away from cleveland who has the 2002 Honda 300ex. He said it runs, but the carb needs to be cleaned. Okay, I clean the carb and it still doesnt start. I had a professional who works for my Grandpa look it over. I needed a new components. That all cost me $200 and it runs. So i gotten a >$1000 ATV for a total of $500.

Then last night, i get the urge to sell it or trade it. I look at my local craigslist, post a few ads around Ohio, KY, and Tennessee. I find a guy who has a 1979 sierra trailboss amphibious 6-wheeler. All it needs it a belt and an Air filter, if i were to sell it i could easily get around $2100-2500 or more. So I think Im gunna do it.

So here are my options:

Keep it..

Sell it...

Trade it...
For trading i think i have a few potential trades!

I found a guy on Craigslist who has a 1993 Chevy with a 454. It is pretty clean, and little to no rust since its a southern car. I really want this because its a 5speed, and its pure (modern) american muscle.

I am looking around, to see if anyone has a older sports car or a something newer that stricks my interest.

I was just posting to say that i have found the right people and I am getting thousand dollar vehicles, for $500 so far! Not bad for being 17...
