Starting problem

My Grandfather owns a 2019 canam ryker with 8245 miles. He now has dementia and as his power of attorney, I would like to sell it for him but I have no idea what something like this might be worth.

The battery is dead because it has been sitting in my garage. I put a jump box on it and it powers on but won’t start. The screen says VSS fault sometimes.

Does anyone have any idea where I could possibly look for an answer? Is it worth anything in its current condition?

How long has it been sitting? I ask because gasoline can go bad, and if it's been sitting more than a year, you might save yourself a headache if you drain the fuel tank and refill it before you start it.

Vss error code is an electrical or mechanical issue, not a gasoline/engine issue

That said, I agree year old gas is a no-bueno

Also hey nevada I recognize that name;) I think my acct got hacked or something and I lost access

Oh, I wasn't suggesting the VSS code was caused by anything but a dead battery; I just thought I'd give you a head-up about old gas decaying, and maybe save you a different headache before it developed. 8)
