New buyer looking for advice
I am looking to buy my first atv and need some advice.
After searching around and doing some research I am thinking about a Polaris Sportsman 400 HO might be the way to go for me. I'm not too big into speed, like power, use it for hunting and trail riding, and I really like how they would fit in my F150 with the tailgate closed. Polaris Sportsman sounds like a solid machine too.
Now the questions-
- Looking at CL, ebay and dealer sites the used prices I'm seeing are all 1-2K higher than what is listed on KBB and NADA for used atv's in general. Are these 2 price guides kinda out of touch with reality or is it the sellers I've been seeing? (live in CO)
- Having a hard time finding the Polaris Sportsman 400 HO used, do people tend to hold on to these? Nobody buying them to begin with? Too new to be reselling yet?
- Is buying a brand new atv like buying a new car? Probably not the way to go?
- What are some questions I should be asking the sellers? What is high mileage for atv's?
Thanks for any help!
