Default Did I get a good deal? 2005 Predator

Hey all. Ive been out of the powersports world for a few years due to school, but I picked up an 05 anniversary edition Predator this weekend. I THINK i got a pretty good deal, but I want to see what everyone else thinks as I have been out of the game quite a long time.

Specs:

2005 Polaris Predator, Anniversary Edition
-Stock rebuild motor w/ titanium valves
-Flexx Handlebars w/ odi grips
-ITP holdshot HD tires
-ITP baja wheels
- +2 A-arms
- +2 spacers for the rear wheels
-Elka 3 stage rear shocks
-Fox dual stage rear shocks (isnt this standard?)
-HID headlights
-FMF full exhaust
-titanium tie rods
-powdercoated/modded frame (originally was cracked, replaced with a gusseted frame)
-nerf bars & bumper

If you were going to buy or sell this bike, what would it roughly go for?

I have no idea what it is worth but that in one sweet looking ride! Be sure your life insurance is in place and paid up! LOL!
What was the last year for the Predator?

2007 maybe?

I bought a 2004 predator brand new back in.... well, 2004. I bit myself every day after I sold it.

I snagged this 2005 for $1500, which i was happy to pay. Visually it was kind of beat up, but nothing a little elbow grease and fender trimming couldnt fix. The carb is leaking a little bit so i need to tear that apart and see how the needle looks, but other then that its good so far.

I need to replace the plastics because several of the bolt spots have been damaged, and i need to take a look at the carb, but other then that I think it will be a fun toy.

.... now I need to get my wife one.

Only $1,500? I would most certainly say that was a steal! Well done!

I would have bought that for $1500.00 if the motor was in a box!
