Dealers around here have a $5900 MSRP, but I have not tried to deal yet. Are there any differences between the '04 and the '05, besides the new tires? I was hoping to buy an '04 for a better price. Please let me know what you have paid OTD for yours. Thanks!

 

Ive seen 4900, for an 04, before taxes. It was brand new, not a demo or used.

 

That's $1000 cheaper than here. I wonder why California's prices are always higher than the rest of the country?

 

Does anyone know the differences between an '04 and '05?

 

Hi, I literally joined the site now, just so I could perhaps add to your question. I have "stolen" free knowledge from this great site over the past month and figure I owe it to you all to "Give Back".

I know very little about atv's and in fact have only owned one for 4 days now. I searched, and read a ton over the last month however. I just bought a "end of year clearence" 2004 Outlander MAX (2-seater). Most (and I searched over 30 dealers), would not go under $6,199 + $139 for "supposedly" destination and $49.99 for "supposedly" prep. I had 2 dealers offer it for $5,799 and the one said + the $139 and $49.99 + my PA 6% sales tax. The other which was just yards across state line in MD (AND ACTUALLY CLOSER) said $5,799 + 5 % sales tax and that's it. I think my homework and simply taking time to call dealers got me a great out the door price for the MAX at $6,247.00.

I seriously looked at the "end of year clearence" 2004 Plain Outlander 400 H.O. and could have had the viper red or Laureen Green for $5199, but couldn't touch a the xt package on the yellow for under $5,899. I realize I've stated a lot about the MAX which is not your question, but if you think in the terms of my Max msrp at $6,399 for a 2004, and what I paid....I would clearly think you could geat a better deal if you have just 3 hours to make the calls or e-mail the dealers within an 80 mile distance of your postal code like I did.

Changes for 2005? I asked many if there was anything significant about the 05 vs. 04 and was told "No". Please don't hold me to this though.

P.S.
I'm just waiting to hear a reply now, telling me they got their 2004 max for $1,000 cheaper and as a grown man, I'm preparing myself for the tears.

probably hard to get them to lower much mags are saying it is the best 400 class.

 

I drove 940 mile round trip to get my '03 Prairie($6300 OTD) last December, only to see them at $5200 6 months later! Thanks for all the info, can never be too much abou the Outlander. Yes, it is supposed to be the best in it's class, but that won't stop me from tyring to get the best deal I can. What's on the XT package?

 

I paid $5300 out the door (price + tax + shipping + assembly + license) for my 04 4x2 Outy 400. A couple months later the same dealer had them for $4900 OTD! GRRRRR!

 

Are you happy with it?

 

Yes I am. Plenty of power for me. Good combo of sport and utility. Only problem has been the clanking from the rear suspension(fixed) and a bad fuel valve(being fixed) Give these folks a call. They will give ya the out the door price over the phone. At least you'll know about what you should be paying.
