Guys- I'm loosing sleep over this decision... I need opinions please!


2006 Can Am 800 Outlander XT for $5200, 1200 miles, full aluminum skids- basically stock otherwise- 8 hour drive

or-

2005 Polaris Sportsman 800 Delux with plow, fron & rear winch, 27" tires for $5200 - 45 minute drive

or-

2005 Kawi Brute Force 750 with 27" lite's on it for around $4500
4 hour drive



I have about $5200 to spend on one and I just cant decide!

 

The ATV in the best condition wins. I would rather have a ATV with 100 hrs on it then 250 hrs. Call a trucking out fit and ask them how much to ship a ATV from 8 hours away.

 

They are all in great condition- I'm not going to ship an ATV that's only 8 hours round trip- I'll make that drive- no big deal.

So- all things being equal, which ATV???

 

If they were all in the same condition I would get the Brute force for $4500 and use the $700 savings for free gas for the next 10 years of riding.

 

I'd take the Outlander 800...that thing is a beast!

 

Well- I ended up with the brute force- got it for $3600- 3000 warn / 26" lite swampers, camo rear seat and aluminum skids. Only 600 miles on it...... but now the oil light is blinking and it wont start.

motor has oil in it, the solenoid engages under the seat, but the starter wont spin-

I'm depressed

 

That sucks! I guess it means a trip to the stealership....

BTW, any pics of the beast?

 

fantastic choice i would have done the same. polaris is nice but price of parts and repair is extremely high

 

is there an oil sending unit on the motor that has a bad plug,or came unplugged? or maybe the unit went bad, and the engine won't start as a built in protection? take a look on the motor, see if any plugs came loose or look corroded, that could be your problem. Did it run when you bought it? keep us updated.

 

I get nervous when I see mods on a used atv. No one buys 26" mud tires unless there going to mud ride. 600 miles of mud bogging is worst then 6000 miles of trail riding to me.
