I'm looking at getting a 2nd atv. I have a 2003 grizzly and have heard good things about the sportsman 500. I'm looking at the 2006 500 or 500 x2. Any suggestion. What should a person pay for one? Thanks for your help.

 

It varies by where you're at. I had to use my zip code to get the prices at KBB. The retail value is what it's actually worth but you can expect to pay a lot less for one. My insurance just payed me the N.A.D.A. price minus my deductible: 2006 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500 EFI Average Retail $4,930-$500=$4,430. Get a title and make sure the one you buy wasn't stolen from me.

According to KBB:
2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO Suggested Retail Value $4585
2006 Polaris Sportsman 500 EFI Suggested Retail Value $4915
2006 Polaris Sportsman X2 EFI Suggested Retail Value $5610

And from N.A.D.A.:
2006 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500 H.O. Average Retail $4,615
2006 POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500 EFI Average Retail $4,930
2006 POLARIS SPORTSMAN X2 Average Retail $5,445

 

Are you looking for new or used?

 

the ones he looked at were the 06 models

 

the 500 is about the most reliable engine out there so it would be a good choice.

 

Its all about condition when buying used. Some old guy who has 50 hour on his 2001 SP500 sitting in his garage is a better deal than a 2007 sp with 200 hours to me.
