Thanks for the input! The SP450 does sound like a great quad, i just wish i knew where u guys are getting them for 4500-4800. Around here, they are 6Gs.</end quote></div>

I just sold my 2006 Polaris Sportsman 450 last night for $5000. Had about 700 miles on it.

 

Any reason why you sold your SP 450?.(800TwinEFI)........Just want to know if it was given you trouble ...Thanks............Caper.............

 

the SP 450 would be a good machine. Its got good low range for pulling cars, the yamaha's and suzuki's etc. have better high range, but you are looking for low range in plowing and pulling. You really need AWD/ 4WD for plowing, then with a winch and plow you could pick it up for $5,500 for the quad, and like $500 for the plowand $300 for a winch, so probably about $6,300 for what your looking to do. I would reccomend looking to see what they got for 06 models left. We picked up a couple tb 250's, they MRSP for $3,600, with 5% MA sales tax it was about $3,800, but we picked it up for $3,400 including tax, so it was pretty cheap.

Phoenix200.....................You said above that the yamaha's and suzuki's etc. have better high range................................What do you mean by that???????.....Please explain!!!!!!.....Caper..........

 

$6000? is that the MSRP? or the real price tag?

 

msrp is 6,299

 

I just checked my papers - I lied, sorry - I got it for 4,700.00 not 4,500

 

I live in northern Iowa and the dealers around here only take a few hundred off MSRP. $4300 will get me a Hawkeye 4x4 and $5100 will get me a Honda ES 450. Looks like u guys live in the right part of the country [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

@ Caper

I sold it primarily because we had purchased the 700 and the 450 was just more of a machine to have around. It was in good running condition when I sold it. It did go through a fit of not wanting to start in the winter. The only way I could get it to start was to wiggle the handle bars back and forth. But the problem went away as suddenly as it came and I have no idea what caused it or if it will ever come back. I don't think so. It has been running strong for a while now.

 

Thanks.....did it take you long to sell?.....or did you trade it in on the 2007 700??
