Here is what I got yesterday for $100.



  • Yellow 12V John Deere Gator (working)


    • battery included

    • no reverse

    • one gearbox clicks when going up a steep hill, works great otherwise

    • missing windshield

    • missing cargo bed lock



  • Green 12V John Deere Gator (working)


    • battery included

    • modded to easily accomodate an additional battery for 18V

    • missing grill guard



  • 12V Peg Apache (working)


    • no battery

    • no reverse

    • no low gear (high gear only)

    • no seat belts

    • no lights on roll bar

    • missing 1 rear view mirror

    • some parts on fake engine are missing



  • Peg Perego 12V charger


  • 6V SLA battery




Here is a recent picture of the Gators.



This picture of the Peg Apache was taken shortly after its restoration was completed by the person I purchased it from. I believe this picture is about 2.5 years old. So, it isn't in quite as good shape as in this picture. I will try to remember to post an updated picture of it relatively soon.



The seller had responded to a want ad that I had posted on craigslist. Thankfully, the seller lives only 5 minutes away from me. Since I had only a minivan with Stow and Go seats available at the time, I needed to make 3 separate trips to get all of them. The seller was very nice and more than accommodating for my multiple trips.

So, how well did I do?

I'd say very nice finds, especially the Apache, I love those!! Even more so than the Gauchos! Gators of course, you can always flip just one of those for $150+ easily!!

Very well.
A couple of cleaned switches, and some new batteries, and you've got a great fleet.

I will contain my irrational jealousy over the Apache


Escalade (Rubber tires, LED lights, Key switch, Remote Kill, wings. Wings?)
Lil Wrangler (2WD, 12v, Lights), Dora Jeep (Super-6 @ 12v, lights), Jeep Enforcer turned Aftershock (18v, WIP),
Grape Gaucho A151 (24v, scooter controller, WIP)

Yup you cleaned up, very nice score. IF any parting goes on with the gators. If you got an electric bed lift to sell I call dibs on it.

Thanks everybody!

All of the batteries I got from this deal are working great.

Divinar, I was able to get reverse working again in the yellow Gator by disassembling the shifter, blowing out the switches, then reassembling it. It works great!

blake711, unfortunately, I do not have an electric bed lift.

In regards to Gators, a lady who works at the Downtown Rescue Mission Thrift Store near my house told me that they have ride on vehicles come in on a regular basis and that they had 2 functional Gators for sale recently. She said they leave the ride on vehicles on the front porch and they sell quickly. I asked her how much the Gators sold for. She said one sold for $50, and the other for $100. I believe the Downtown Rescue Mission is similar to the Salvation Army. I'll be checking places like that for ride on vehicles from now on!
