I have $4,000, please help
So I have $4,000 to spend. I'm 6'3" 285 lbs. There is an '08 Polaris Sportsman 500 efi for sale in my area. It looks clean, and has 168 hrs on it. Is this a good choice? Are there any problems you know of with this model? Do you have another ATV that you know is better? Please help me out. This is my first ATV purchase. Thank you.

I would recommend the sportsman. I just picked up a 2013 sportsman 500 and it pulls pretty hard in my opinion and in the past 2 months I've had it i haven't managed to get it stuck where my neighbors brute 750 gets stuck every time. The ground clearance is great and the automatic 4x4 is pretty nice in my opinion

That's a pretty good deal if it's in good shape. Had a 2006 Sportsman X2 500. Only place it lacked was getting my 340 lbs. up long steep hills in high gear. Topped out on more than a few occasions at about 35. These were hills that were wide open and smooth trails. Both winter and regular riding.

Check what they are going for on Ebay or Craigs in comparison.

I bought a 2004 Kodiak 450 at the beginning of this year with 200 hours/800 miles for $3,000 from a private sale. It took me a while to find a bike in good shape, the carb was gummed up pretty good from sitting with gas in it, a small coolant leak that I fixed and other than that it's been truly a perfect machine. The former owner had all the paperwork, spare oil filter, and a never installed Yamaha brand Warn 2.5CI winch.
After spending a lot of time on Craigslist, I really think I got one of the best deals in my area (Maryland) for what I was looking for/price range.
