Default 2007 Artic Cat 700 EFI for $3800, is it a good deal?

I'm thinking of buying a 2007 Artic Cat 700 EFI for $3800. The hours are around 120 and the miles is about 1000.

Is it a good deal?
Is this a good ATV?
Anything i should be looking for in regards to bad maintenance? (places to look for oil, bent metal, ...)

This is a cash deal, it isn't one of them Warehouse-i'm-somewhere-else deals. Title will change hands at the time of the transaction.

Any input you guys and girls have would really help.

It sounds like a great deal - assuming that everything is on the up and up. I would expect a more typical price would be closer to $5K +. Is it high miles? Beat up? Or just desperate to sell? It's a low enough price that I would be a little wary of the deal, but youcould have just gotten lucky. As long as you can see the bike firsthand prior to buying, I'd say go for it.

It's worth about $1,800 more than that.

Ok, i got it, paid $4000 for it. Doesn't have the best snorkle kit on it, but i can live with that.

I'm gonna go riding this sunday at croom. Nothing to hard, just a little playing around.

I want to take it to a dealer on monday and have them perform maintenance.

What should i have them do? Airfilter, oilfilter, replace all the fluids?

Thanks for any info you guys got for me.

Here is a link to a pic...2007 Arctic Cat 700 EFI

Saw the pic, with those aftermarket wheels and tires, plus the bumpers, it sure lookslike way more than a $4,000 bike. Sounds like you made a great deal. Hope you got a title with it.
