Are ATVs/UTVs overpriced?

[ArlyA]

Do you travel the entire distance in the ATV or do you trailer it there?

No we trailer it.

If people are willing to long term finance these prices, the prices will never go down.

They are already coming down.

We used trucks for years but no more. With our atv we get to more places we need to work at and get there more quickly all while getting up the soft dirt less. Do we need pictures here?

Every picture you post shows you freezing your ass off.

Comfort is a big part of it. I use a Toyota truck in the winter becase...it has the best heater ever.

But you bundle up...

No way can anyone ever pay off an outstanding balance at those rates and don't tell me that everyone on here pays off their outstanding balances every month because I know that is a lie.

A lie? I pay off my credit card every month and avoid all interest charges.
Is that so hard to believe people can do it?

If anyone here cares as to why after operated various machines in the summer and winter, yet when we purchase one with our $$, we got a atv. Feel free to ask why.

Me too. We've done it that way over 30 years. Interest rates on cards are irrelevant to us. Annual fees? Will not own a card that charges them.

I guess that makes you a liar like me
Funny how sometimes people can’t fathom people accomplishing something they themselves don’t do

Like most everything, they are overpriced.
I was at the local Ace Hardware today, and they had a line of push mowers in the front of the building. On one side was the basest push mower, a 20", small wheel, 3.5 hp machine. As basic as it gets, and they used to be $99-$125, all day long. This one can be yours- not mine- for $319.00.
The economy, coupled with people willing to pay ridiculous prices, means costs that are greater than the value.

Unless size is a consideration, IMO, the money is better spent on a pickup truck

Or a Jeep. I've got a WHOLE lot less money in my CJ7.

Simply not true. I hear you with inflation being bad, but the fact that people still pay the high prices means they are not overpriced. Overpriced items sit in inventory until prices go down.
