maybe a new owner of a polaris, but have a question first.

$4500 is a bit high for an 05 800- especially a stock one with drive train problems......Also- by the way, KBB.com & NADA.com both list an 05 Sportsman 800 value at low retail - $3800 / high retail $4900.
So, given the drive train issues (parts & labor for a shop to repair it- NOT YOU) I'd make a fair offer of around $4000- no more.

$4,000 max. Wouldn't be criminal to bring $3500 based on your description

well the best he will do is $4400 and he is offering me a 2 month warranty but I don't how well that would be considering he is just a individual and could easily just say as is after I bought it.
Is it worth passing up the atv for only $400?

I'd pass on it- because the price is too high.
But that's my stubburn opinion- if you really want it, buy it.
I have a feeling though, he won't be selling it anytime soon at that price.
Did you tell him what the NADA & KBB value is? Then remind him it needs repairs- this guy seems out of touch with the market. Better yet- email him the link to this thread and let him read it...

I think I found me a deal finally, 2007 polaris 800 black and gray color. Lift kit, 164 hours with 944 miles, black aftermarket rims 28 inch outlaw tires, High capacity springs and front and rear bumpers all for $4500

I agree- much better deal. It sounds nice.
When you look at it, tell him you'll give him $4250 because there's dirt under the chassis
Make sure you check the cv boots, oil & winch cable.
(I say winch cable because it's a good indication of how it's been ridden- if it's all frayed up, worn and kinked, you know its most likely been stuck in either mud or water-)

well I don't think it has a winch, but I have a brand new one sitting in a box so I can't check that out. He told me he just changed ALL fluids with polaris synthetic.
he said he did a little trail riding and mostly on the ranch.
