I've been looking to get a UTV to help out around on some land I recently bought and the Renegade looks to be like what I would need.

I don't want to buy a UTV new as the used market is brutal for the most part on all brands. I was looking at Rangers and Rhinos, but I really like the manual transmission and mechanical lockers of the Joyners. I've read most of the interesting topics on the forum and I'm aware of the differential issues and the tenuous situation Joyner USA is in.

With that said, someone has a 2009 (late model with mechanical 4x4) for sale in town with only 100 miles on it. He'll take $8,000. He bought it from No Limit and picked it up in Dallas (I'm in Houston). It's pretty much in "as-new" condition. The gentleman selling it is a police officer that bought it to cruse off-duty security gigs, but he's lost both the security gig and his cop job.

So is that a reasonable price or am I just setting my self up to loose over half if I need to sell in a year for what ever reason?

Thanks for the link.

I'm thinking you're probably right. It's in great shape, but with the differential worry and the fear of Joyner never really making it back to the US scene, I'm not sure I can get there. It's too bad really as the Joyner design philosophy is better than that of the "big boys".

Magnus444, You can go here it will tell you retail value and trade-in value it sounds a little high to me. http://www.kbb.com/motorcycle/

I have Renegade and like it a lot.The 09 is a good year to buy.Renegade is a good utv.Vary few problums with them i have been a Joyner dealer for 7 years i would pull of hose off intake by the throttle body and get a flash light and see if it has any dirt in it.Thear air filter was junk and did not seal at all.If ok then its a little high priced but if nice like new than should be ok to buy.Change air filter as soon as possible move it up to the roof out of dirt.

Good Luck

Rick

      Hey everyone,
      I’m in the market for a UTV windshield that can withstand extreme conditions, including high winds, dust, and off-road impacts.
      I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m unsure which one will provide the best protection and durability.
      Does anyone have experience with windshields that excel in these environments? Are there specific brands or materials you recommend?
      I’m particularly interested in options that offer both durability and clarity.
      Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      Riding out today it acted like it ran out of gas,  stalled and died and would not start.   Towed back to house,  New  plug added this past month,  plenty of oil, getting plenty of gas, battery cranks good.   Trys to kick in and starts but doesnt.   Two days prior while sitting at a idle it died.  Added gas and it started did my ranch chores with it.  But just now it stalled out cranks but will not start.   Tried to find if fault codes came up on the clock like manual says but not sure I am doing that right.  Any and all help apprecated.  Thank you

      I think this part is causing a high idle problem(4000 rpm at start up) in my 04 R4 Joyner. I took it out and cleaned it and the problem went away. I just went out to start my SXS and it's idle jumped up to 4 grand again. Can someone tell me what this part is called so I can search for a new one. Or can you point me towards a source. 
      Thanks in advance. 
      Kenny
