advice

what upgrades or mods add the most value to a warrior. I picked one up for 500 bucks. It runs fine just needs a couple small pieces here and there. Gonna sell it but doesn't make sense to drop a bunch of money into it and not get my money back.

Make it as clean and as stock as possible

dang that was the complete opposite of what I was thinking. I figured people wanted to see a little pizazz to it. The frame could use a good strip and coating but don't know how hard it I to take everything off and put it back together. Was going to add some trail tech lights or something similar. But I am new at this so I will take all the advice I can get.

It's nearly impossible to make your money back on mods/upgrades unless you part the bike out. Like beastly said, just fix anything that is broken/bent and maybe replace bushings and bearings if they are bad. Make sure you wash it really good before selling it, a clean bike with shiny plastics will make you your money.

so what would you suggest as far as coating the frame? Would it be worth it or sell as is. It is not bad but it could be better. Trying to get maybe 1,200-1,500 if that is possible

Unless the frame is completely rusted, I wouldn't worry about coating it. These warriors are old machines and expected to be scraped up and stuff. I don't see you making money by doing a frame off style restoration. If anything, sand and touch up the frame with a small brush in any very visible spots. For the price, it really depends on condition and location. For a bone stock bike around here I wouldn't pay anything above a grand, but by you the value might be higher.

makes sense, I'm here in AZ and dune season is coming up so I want to do my due diligence

You want it to look like your grandma owned it before
