Default Buying new 2008 sportsman 500efi, maybe?

Just wondering if any buddy seen our knows how the blue painted plastic is holding up, scratches and such? And why are prices in Tennessee so much cheaper than Iowa, 5,600 TN and 6,500 IA. Thanks

the painted plastic has better scratch resistance than the older plastic (HDPE)--which scratched with your boot.

I hear it resists scratches better but if you bend the plastic the paint will crack and chip off.
$900 differance! one is a Deluxe and the other is standard!
