Now my old Trail Boss has a new brother!
Just picked this guy up today, I'm pretty pleased. I was selling a $799 car on Craigslist, a guy traded me even up for this. Just a couple of very minor issues, it starts, runs, shifts and drives great - might be a keeper! So first, you guys (especially you, Old Polaris Tech!) were a big help with my old Trail Boss. Hoping to find a link for an owners manual and service/parts manual. Second, I'd like to know the model # for this guy. It's a 2000 Trail Boss 325 4X2. It's hard to read the VIN, I tried cleaning it up with some carb cleaner, just ended up making a gummed-up clear coat mess. Here's what I think I have:
4XAAA32A0YA321XXX
From what I can tell, 4XA means Polaris. I saw some manuals for 2001 models with the numbers AA32AB, so it looks like I'm on the right track. That 9th digit looked a lot like a 0 to me, but seems like it's calling for a letter, and I'm pretty sure VINs don't use the letter o to avoid confusion. The last six sequential #s I think I can read, and the first few look like they should be what I'm thinking, but I'm not sure about the ones in the middle. So again, any help with:
Decoding this VIN
The model # (like my Yamaha Timberwolf is a YFB250) - does Polaris label models the same way?
And finding links to manuals
You all really know your stuff, thanks in advance for your help!

The guy did not sell it with a "ownership" paper (Canadian term) or title? It would have the serial number.
Not sure what your after if you know its a 325 Trail Boss are you not sure of the exact year? From the graphics it,s a 2000 or 2001 2001 Polaris Trail Boss 325 ATVs The 1999 and 2002 look nothing like it. 2002 Polaris Trail Boss 325 ATVs.
For getting a manual it would not matter if it's a 2000 or 2001 since it had zero changes.
It sure looks in great shape.

The 4 at the beginning means it was made in the US. The 10th digit is the year code. Y is 2000. More info here. ATV Vin Number : Check and Decode Your VIN
