Default Opinions wanted!

Ok, i got an 2005 700EFI Sportsman "camo" with a winch/plow that I am "THINKING" about selling. It only has 500 miles/200 hours - if that!!This thing is basically new, except for being a 2005!!
The front rack is bent a tad bit, and the plastic front storage case is cracked BUT It doesnt affect the function of anything. I could fix it but It works fine and doesn't bother me at all! Everything else is GREAT! Plastic is perfect. Never beat on.
The previous owner (my co-worker) bought it to haul wood on his property. When he was done with it, he decided to sell it. About the same time he decided to get married, sooo all the toys had to go, I guess. LOL
Anyways, I was wondering what kind of price I should be asking for this ATV? I know I could go to Kelly blue book or NADA, but we all know that those are vague.
The reason for me wanting to sell it is because I don't need an ATV this big. This is too much machine for me. I HAD a 2002 Scrambler 500 H.O. 4x4 that I loved. I was "THINKING" about buying another one because I just bought 2 LT80's and I want to ride with my kids in the woods. Plus I can still plow with it since my driveway isn't that big anyways.
Just looking for opinions and ideas.............
Thanks!

You must do some slow riding or alot of idling time. 200hr and 500 miles is 2.5 mph average, I averarge 10 mph I have 3500 miles with 350 hours.

Your low miles is defiantly a bonus come selling time.

Yeah, The original owner only used it to haul wood so he wasnt going very fast. And I owned it for about a year now. I took the kids for a few rides and used it to work around the house with a small dump trailer, and to plow snow. So yeah, it had some idling time during work projects.
Thanks for the reply.
