1st I'd like to say high to everyone, I'm new to the board.

I have the chance to pick up a 2000 Polaris Sportsman 500 with 182 miles.
It has a warn winch also. It's been stored in a heated garage and is in showroom condition.
Is it worth $4700.00
If not can you tell your opinion on what you think it's worth.

My other ride that I've had for about 18 years is a Yamaha 225dx 3 wheeler.

I think it's time to buy another.

 

it matters what your looking to do but that price sounds alright for that quad and where do you ride in massachusetts??

 

I live and ride in the Gardner/Athol area.
I'm basicly wanting something I can go hunting with,
along with something my wife can drive the kids around on.

Is this a good machine?
I'm also looking at a 2003 Suzuki Vinson 500 for $5300.00 it has approx 110 miles.

 

yea its a good machine for what your talking about doing but make sure you take it for a test drive before you buy it.

 

$4700 for a 2000 seems a bit high. I would go with the Vinson If I was you. I am speaking from experience on this one. I now have a Vinson and haven't looked back. Or look at it this way, The Suzuki is three years younger more powerful and only 600 dollars more.

 

Cop. I don't know where your are getting your information, but a Vinson is not faster than a SP500HO. You also once posted a Vinson would kill a Scrambler 500 lol. A Scrambler would stomp a Vinson.

 

If the sportsman is not a H.O. then the Vinsion may be able to take it. I'm not to sure when the SP500 H.O. came out ..."01 or '02???

 

hey weaselday welcome to the fourm..im from winchendon mass im sure you know where that is?where do you ride?

 

Hi and thanks for welcoming me.
I don't ride to often, but when I have a chance I ride in the pit and trails just off of route 2.
I'm not sure what they call it.
How about you?

 

u guys live out in western mass right? but if you ever get the chance get a nh license and go to the windham depot. its 18.6 miles of straight aways and then theres another trail thats 6.3 miles of staightaway. they both use to be old train tracks so its flat and striaght the whole way.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
