Default new rzr 900/800 4 seater

Been tossing the idea around about getting a new polaris razor. Might just header on in tomorrow and buy one.

Any last minute advice you guys have for me good or bad?


I want to do trail riding in the mountains and ripping out on the unused praire lands by my house.

I also want to take the whole fam with me, so I am going to get the 4 seater rzr. Was thinking the 800 would be good but now I am leaning towards the rzr 900xp voom voom more power!!!! think the 800 hun is about 50 hp while the 900 has 88 hp

The RZRs are some very nice and capable machines, but are very difficult to work on because of the design; frame is pretty much built around the engine and tranny. A lot of maintenance you can do with the engine installed on a regular atv, you have to remove or at least partially remove the engine to do on a RZR. Not trying to talk you out of buying one, but you will either get to know your mechanic very well in the long run, or become an ace mechanic your self.

I've been a professional mechanic for 30 years and maintain all the atv/RZRs in the family and can say that I spend a lot more man hours on the RZRs, just doing scheduled and preventive maintenance than I do on any of the regular atvs; it just takes more time to get to the components to service them.

thanks for the reply. More than likely I will be taking it in to have maintence done.

How does the 4 seater polaris rzr stack up to the kawasaki teryx4 or the ranger utv 4 seater?

I considered the rhino with the seats put into the pick-up part but figured if I want 4 in it I may aswell get one that is ment to take 4.

Having only driven the RZR, I couldn't really give an opinion on how they stack up against the RZR, but there are tons of video on youtube showing how well they all perform in real world conditions.

So was at the dealer today. Got quoted on the 900 four seater eps it was 20k plus with the extras I got on this thing it came to 24k. Which was pretty much sticker price on this thing. Kinda po'd because i was ready to buy but wasnt getting a good price imop. Anyways this was the deal feel free to way in.

900 four seater eps with 3500pound wrinch. Plastic roof. Bush bumper. For 24k all taxes in.

I thought that was to much and walked out.

Very good way to put it on the Razr maintenance! OPT

I don't believe you will find a better deal on a 4 seater RZR, they are in hot demand now and they don't have to cut many deals to get rid of them as fast as they get them in. Hell, even the RZR 800s that are being traded in on the new ones are selling like hot cakes.

Aaagh. When I hear the prices of 'toys' in Canada, they are always higher than in the U.S. I wonder if there is a import tariff or an exchange rate issue that makes prices higher there. Or, if there's too much oil money chasing too few goods, driving prices up.
