Joyner has the best name of all the imports, and the price is about right for that compared to other joyners...

three words CHINA MADE JUNK! I know quite a few people with joyners and not one happy. I know a guy with over 20k invested with a supercharger, bypass shocks, fancy wheels, and so on and my dads old 2+2 with limited tortion travel ruins these cars. I feel bad cause people think cause they spend a ton of money you are getting what you pay for, NOT ALWAYS. If this is you budget go find a nice vw powered car and a beam style suspension, you will get way more bang for your buck. And for resale value............ just look at used ones you will see what im talking about.

I am aware that they are made in China and thats why I asked for feedback. I have no intension of Buying one. I have heard that the quality of the off shore buggys is getting better each year. I have two Pilots now and a full sized VW Turbo charged woodsbuggy. This is my buget lol:

One guys junk is another guys treasure, Not everyone can afford the 40k buggies, so no matter what we say do etc, there will be buyers for the import stuff...There is a lot of joyners on the trail, and from what i understand they are top of the line for import stuff, every make has there problems, you dont generally here about the good, just the bad...

Bad news travels FAST and good never leaves home.

I hear no evil see no evil and speak no evil...Bug is right about the chinese shit will never go away...I have never driven one myself so I should play nice.....NOT I drive around them, sling gravel on them, and wish I still chewed tobacco when in front of them...

Joyner buggies are made in China, but are owned by and designed here in Tempe, AZ. I have visited the Joyner factory here numerous times and they have supplied me with parts and advice when I needed it. I believe they are a great company with great customer service. I own one a Joyner 800 Viper that is now motorcycle powered by a Kawasaki ZX-9. The stock chinese motors are good, but not nearly fast enough for what I wanted. I have taken it to both the dunes and the desert and have driven it hard with no problems from it at all. It has held up better than all the VW based rails that I have had previously. I would recommend them to anyone.
