coolster 150cc utility ATV

Would like some feed back regarding this title.
Quick background:
- never owned a Chinese atv
- have done some You Tube and internet searches
- somewhat leery to purchase from websites
- fortunate to have a dealer within 35 mi. from residence
- research has convinced me that the engine is reliable, but suspension, CDI, and drive chain are subordinate
- some articles suggest that a china atv requires some preliminary mechanical abilities (which I have)
- ATV will be used on 40 acre recreational ground some flat some ridges
- will not be used for racing or hauling farming chores, just young to old riders for enjoyment or dragging in a deer?

OK I probably have more background but I'll wait for responses. I plan to use this information from anyone and follow up by using this info when I contact the dealership (ie if anyone has dealt with Fenton Motor Sports Fenton, MO.) please give me your experience with this dealership.

Mine is about 5 1/2 years old with no issues. only replace the rear brake pads and regular maintenance. It's got decent power for towing. I've pulled a few broken down Honda 4 wheelers back to the parking area. lol I've drug small trees and a small wagon behind it.

Absolute slander, and I won't stand for it! There is no such thing as a broken down Honda ATV, just people who shouldn't be riding them.. God Bless America! 🇺🇸🤠

Well you do have a point. lol These were people that thought they were submarines and can go through anything. I watch one young kid unload a almost new Polaris and headed straight into a 6 foot ditch full of water. His day lasted about 5 minutes and had to be wenches up on the trailer. I'm like man if you're going to do something stupid like that at least wait till the end of the day so you don't ruin a whole day. He had to ride back seat the whole day.
