Just ran across a classified add for a AC 2005 500. Called and am going to look at it tomorrow. Here's what I know.

2005 500 auto with EBS. Selectable 4WD. Only has 20 hours on it. Red. Never wrecked. Claims it's brand new. front and rear racks, and all the bells and whistles, except a winch. He seems firm at $4500 (US).

Is this a good deal? What specific things should I look for?

Went to the AC site. They show two models, the 500 and a 500 LE. What's the difference?

I just priced a 500 polaris from a dealer at $6,000 so this seems cheap to me. As you guess I'm new to this game.

Any input is apprectied.

 

I'm a newbie here but I have been doing some research that may help.

Follow this link to a dealership that shows MSRP for 05 and 06 AC's: TousleyMotorSports

Visiting my local AC dealer yesterday, I noted that he seems to be knocking off $500 - $700 on 05 models.

Without knowing more about the unit, I'd say $4500 sounds like a pretty good deal.

 

Never wrecked? Why does it have "New front and rear racks" at only 20 hours? Other than that $4500 sounds good.

 

He said the whole unit was brand new not just the racks.

Any idea what's different on the "LE" models?

 

A winch and front and rear bumber for LE model. I think that is a very fair price. Just think that you can stll buy that quad at the dealer for around $1500 more. 20 hours is the first oil change so change the oil when you get it.

 

We'll to close this out, I bought it and love it. It was as described and perfect in every way. I think I got a good deal.

Thanks to all that replied back.

 

Congratulations. Im sure you will love it. lots of options for you in accesories.

 

Sounds to me like you got yourself a great deal. Wish I could find a deal like that!

Congratulations! Enjoy yourself and by all means be careful.
