Looks like good deal. The seller has a good record. I'd jump on it if the location was close by where I lived.

Well I decided to get the sportsman 500 on ebay. and I cant wait to get it and ride it on the trails.
I assume it will be way differnet then the warrior. but ride nice like the trailboss.
for some reason I like having both sport and utility. The trailboss and warrior both atv are great in my Opinion.
but i need a fourwheel drive so I can make more trails on the farm my grandfather has in wisconsin.

I highly recommend against buying off ebay!!!

My brother purchased an atv off ebay... it was a mess when he received it and he'd already sent the money. After 4 months of ebay's arbitration program, ebay let the guy off and my brother was stuck with an atv needing ~$1500 repair. He did try to speak directly with the guy, but the guy just hung up the phone on him. I know the guy wasn't suffering... he had several garages with old muscle cars and newer sports cars... so please be very careful. If you can look it over first, i'd be much more confident with it.

i almost bought one as well on ebay,then i found out it was a bogus wheeler and reported him to ebay which quickly took it off and banded the user name so beware of the real good deals.

If you are wanting sport and ute why not look at the 500Scrambler?
On the Ebay thing I bought my 500 Scrambler on there 3 yrs ago and it was a cherry.Be sure to call the seller on the phone and ask all the questions you can think of
Be sure it is within driving distance to pick it up so if it is junk you are only out the deposit if that.It is like buying any used machine you have to look it over good.You can tell if one has been ragged bad.But used is the way to go let that first fool loose his but on the new one[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
