My god this is too much!!! This is hilarious. Seems that Kagey is the one on the mark. Buy, no sell, no buy, no sell. Sounds like the guys in the pits on Trading Places. Thats about how its been so far. One week one thing, next week different. I'm getting that interest again, so who knows. Some day in the next month or two, I could surprise the hell out of some people with an AC for Blaster 200 trade. And then again maybe not. That would surprise me too much, and I think it constututes more as theft than trade. The Polaris is back in my head though. Easy to see with the four new topics I put out last night. Lots of responses to them created more interest today. The AC will go back in the paper tomorrow. I had one keeper in here I think. Must be an AC owner. Same would hold true for any other brand though. Several buyers, but this is in the Polaris forum. Is that hardly fair? This is fun. I never thought I would have a topic created concerning me buying something, that I didn't start myself. Right now, the silver color isn't even a factor any more. It will probably come down to whether I can get rid of the AC before I change my mind, and what I can get out of it. I might hit somebody up for trade in value. Just to see what they would give me. One place said $3750 and I said "Maybe NOT!!!!" I think a $2000 trade difference would be enough to do it, but I doubt anyone would ever give me that.

I think you should keep the Cat Andy. For more than one reason.

1. I would hate to lose your great knowledge and experice that you shared in the Arctic Cat Forums(sad but true)

2. The Arctic Cat's only down fall is that limited slip and the ground clearance RIGHT??
WELL, talk to niteowl. He is locking his Arctic Cat 500 in the next couple of weeks and I'm sure he would tell you how to do the same. The clearance thing, well you can't do anything about that, but just build a rear differential skid plate out of steel and drag it around.

3. The Sportsman 500 seems to have more down falls for your terain than does the Arctic Cat does.

4. YOU seem to hate the PVT transmission.

5. I don't think the 2wd/4wd system on the Polaris quads is better for the type of terain you are talkin about.(rocks)

6. Your Arctic Cat 500 has never given you trouble.
