Default Is a Rubicon for me?

I have recently come upon a chance to buy a 2006 Rincon in great condition mostly stock. The guy wants $4,000 and I know how he takes care of his toys. I mostly want to do some mud riding and trail. Some reviews say Rubicon can't mud. Should I buy this? Is this good price?

How can a 4wd 500cc ATV not mud? Its acually the only Honda 4x4 with a dedicated low range.
Like all Honda's its has no true AWD system but in regular 3wd it still get you through some nasty stuff.

Your post says rincon and rubicon. I like them both. I've heard people complain that a rincons low gear isn't low enough but others say no problem. The rincon has the independent rear suspension.
