1999 Sportsman 500 with 6,100 miles? Do I buy it?
First off, I want to thank you guys for how helpful you've been with my previous questions. I really appreciate all the help.
As I said, it's a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 with 6,100 miles, but for only $2000 or best offer (so probably $1800!).
The Craigslist ad says "This is a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500 Quad. It is in excellent running condition. Newer Mudlite Tires 98%, Double Gun holder, Extra passenger seat with storage, Kolpin handguards, Camo seat cover $2000 or best offer".
After emailing him, he also says "No I was not the first owner when I got it it needed a couple things done to
it,starter,tires,rebuilt the carburator,and a new cv joint in the rear.Know it
is in good shape.I used it for 2 years mainly for hunting"
What do you guys think? Is the mileage too high? Is it a good buy for the price, accessories, and all the recent work done to it? What do you think?
Thanks so much to anyone who answers. I appreciate the input so much

If you could find one a year or two later,you could get the HO and will have cv drive shafts instead of u-joint drive shafts (prone to excessive wear) plus would have strengthened cam which the 99 and earlier models were prone to failures,BUT depends on shape of 99 machine,maintenance,(complete repair history if possible,may have had cam replaced?) and your pocket book.
