I have a 2000 Sportsman 500 for sale. I am asking $9557.67 for it, but I will go down to $2000, maybe even a little lower. It has around 3300 miles on it according to the speedometer, but I am not the first owner, so I cannot confirm this. It has lots of new parts on it including tires, a stator and many other new parts.
With that being said, it has had it's share of problems. I could not sell it without letting you know about some of them. Please search through my previous posts for a detailed history. Currently, it has a possible cracked cylinder or head. I have not opened it yet, but I can tell you that when it sits for a few days, it will not crank over and is hydrolocked from water in the combustion chamber. It could also be something as simple as a head gasket.
I also have an issue where the battery has suddenly started putting out 24 volts instead of 12 volts. This is probably fixed by replacing the battery.
The last few times I rode it, it would overheat after a very short time, but I am attributing that to the head gasket, cylinder, head deal.
I am not aware of any other current issues, but I cannot make any promises. I will try to answer any questions I can about it as truthfully and accurately as possible. Here are some pictures of it.

 

Good pics and honest description. However you didn't say where you are located.

 

Sorry, Located in Carrollton, TX, Just north of Dallas.

 

Damn!! Wish I had the cash, I would buy it off you. Been wanting a 500 or 550. And you aren't too far of a drive for a good deal.

 

PM me an offer. The worst that can happen is I say no and you keep looking. I am basing my price off what I have seen other similar bikes go for, minus a little for the work needed.

 

I appreciate it, but the reason I dont have the cash is due to a possible new house...waiting to see how things go there. Gatta save the green backs.

 

I understand that. I tried to buy a new house last year, but I couldn't get approved. Long story, but me and Wells Fargo are no longer friends. If I had to do it again, I would use USAA or US Bank.

 

ROFL!!!! I can relate to that....I dumped Wells Fart and Go away about 7 years ago....Terrible customer service.

 

I have lowered the price to $1600.

 

New ones cost less.
