Ivanpah Black on Black yellow lettering

Chad - 11-11-2011 at 06:45 AM

Ok guys who is ready for a Ivanpah? I have a "new condition" used less the 5 miles. yes you read that right! this buggy has traveled less then 5 Miles. in perfect shape with Bigfoot lights Black on Black with yellow markings. this is one of the ECKS riders buggy's and he is letting it go at a good price. he purchased it at the Spring WBB and just has not found the time to ride it. he is willing to let it go for $1000 or best offer. a local sale (some where close to MD) would be best and he will meet you half way. this will make it so the buggy does not have to come apart. If it must be shipped you pay shipping. If you have any questions please ask and I will answer them, if I can not I will get them answered.
This is not mine buggy but the owner is a close friend and If i did not think it was in perfect shape I would not state it. You can trust that! ;-)




Make an offer?
the shine of the flash with the seat makes it look almost grey but it is really Black

see, this is exactly how I store my buggies as well - that way you can sit in the buggy and watch buggy vids on tv.

You won't find a sturdier built production buggy. These things are bullet proof.

Hey, I'm holding out to see what's behind Door Number 3! :bird:

This is the upgrade from my flexifoil I have been looking for. Rode a couple buggies at WWBB with nice seats and it was awesome. Price? Extremely interested and would like to talk.
thanks,
Bruce

BEC - 11-11-2011 at 02:04 PM

sorry just noticed the price...still want to talk as I do not have any experience with buggys and want to make a good decision. Basically is it right for me and where I live.

I have the very first Ivanpah, and it is awesome. Takes a bigger kite than you are used to to get it moving, but then just builds, and builds. Very nimble, I have done 360's and have a rear seat and have gone backwards tandem!:wee:

This would be a great buggy for anyone unless you want to do 2 wheel tricks and/or you ride on a really small area. The stability and comfort would be enjoyed on most any ride where you keep all 3 wheels on the ground. It is very adjustable as well so it can be comfortable for most any size rider. The only other consideration is your ability to haul it. It does not lend itself well to taking the back axle off so plan ahead. Many buggies at this level don't break down so easily so its a price you pay to stepping up levels in build quality and a secure ride.

I won't argue with you but I've owned both buggies.......... :smug: :rolleyes:

wheresthewind? - 11-11-2011 at 05:47 PM

ive ridden the ivanpah and yes its built like a tank--i just prefer the flexi, its light and assembles very quickly and ive got tons of memories in that thing......

Thx BB,
BEC and I just had this conversation. You and wheresthewind are both right.. Flexi is a sturdy buggy it is also light and easy to transport! The Ivanpah on the other hand is heavy and is not so easy to cary around but it has a much more stable ride and IMO safer from the famous TURTLE. That is the reason I got mine.. Just M.O.

thx guys

If kittens were currency, I would be at you doorstep before sundown.... with a pickup

Since I don't own a pickup, loadout would need to be speedy... and with the engine running. :rolleyes: :saint: :wee:

It’s not due to a lack of interest.

You have my attention because I wanted to buy yours even though I could not afford it.

Problem is: There is NO WAY for me to even consider it until the government gives me my money back in the new year. And even then: :dunno:

thanson2001ok - 14-11-2011 at 03:48 PM

@Ched - Good idea. Will you store it too?

Sure! Who needs to park the cars in the garage. One stall for the Ivanpah, the other for kites! My wife says I have a priority issue!:rolleyes:

I love that one Indi! :shocked2:

How ever I am not brave enough to pull that one off. My wife has a gun and not afraid to use it! :smug:

Chad - 23-11-2011 at 06:55 AM

Bump :cool:

Chad - 28-11-2011 at 06:45 AM

Not very many people are looking for the ivanpah's this year?

If you want this almost new one make an offer?

BeamerBob - 28-11-2011 at 07:59 AM

This is the worst time of year to sell large ticket items. Stuff like this either has to have a rock bottom price where potential buyers can't resist, or wait till the first of March and sell it in days for top dollar.

Chad - 28-11-2011 at 08:51 AM

Yea you are right... This is my last attempt this year for this item.

If it does not sell it will be for sale at WBB in the Spring
