I'm looking for a utv on a limited budget Want something to keep me out of the weather to and from during hunting season and maybe a little joy ride hear and there. I like the rihno but 8500 for a used one won't work. There is a linhai dealer Two hours away is it worth it to go take a look or not.

I believe rzrgade on here brought some chino rhino's a few years back and they were junk. Personally I would never by a knock off quad or side by side unless it was a kids quad I could throw away. The reason a yamaha is 8k used is it will last forever if you take care of it. Plus in 5 years it will still be worth close to what u paid. Good luck selling a chino rhino used IMO

Did you buy the 21 horse model or the 28 horse. Were they just all around cheap like the supermach. Did you test it on the trail?

U usually get what you pay for, Some things just are not worth cheaping out on, It will cost you way more sooner than later

The dealership I worked at in Lethbridge sold them until they could get the CAN AM lineup. They were junk. Always back to the shop. Big mistake selling them.

buddy is selling them now and said he hasn't had any come back, jury is still out though
I was interested in them too but there seems to be a lot of clamoring against them. if you look at used then you may be getting someone else's junk, that's what I'm afraid of. I do remember the name being on some of the Yamaha motors or some such

So the question is ; Is new junk better than used junk........

I think you'll find most of that clamoring is from people that have never even heard of them, much less owned one. Opinions without experience are like.....well, you know how it goes. :rolleyes:
