Yeah I didn't know he is the second owner I would be wondering why it has only 50 miles with 2 owners as well there'd have to be a problem with that low in 2 owners...are you sure it isn't 50hrs? Either way it looks like to play it safe you should go with the new Camo model you got quoted for.

I'd stick to either Warn or Ramsey when it comes to winches, to be safe. Congrats on the new toy!

I'd get an extended warranty somehow....the factory air filter lets the upper end get trashed and it starts blowing blue smoke.....the rear cv joint covers are spinning around somehow, they have had recalls on the front tie rods (among other things), some transmissions are still failing and now theres alot of guys having belt issues that may be caused by the trans....the dealers are blaming that on the owners. Give them another year or so to get up to the reliability percentage of the griz.....I'm sure the reslale is better on the griz right now too..
I sure wish Yamaha would come out with EFI for the griz though..

Well, I made the plunge and got the KQ Camo for 7309. OTD with the warn winch and mounting plate I could not pass this deal... Now its time to find tires... So far so good with the quad but the rear tires definitly look crappy.

Yeah, I'd be careful with anything used, make sure the speedo is actually working. I went to look at an Outlander that was advertised as "only 63 miles" and the guy wanted high blue book, well I went to look at it with the intent of buying it. He opens the garage and I was immediately suspicious, plastic was scratched, brakes looked a little used, small crack in the front bumper....turn it on, yep, 63 miles. Well I go to ride it down the street.......Speedo isn't working, I check the hours, it was at like 50+ hours.

I get back to the guys garage and tell him about this and he says "someone must of left the key on".......Yeah, I'm a freaking idiot. Wonder how many batteries they drained in those 50 hours of leaving the key on? It was worth LOW blue book at best. I was kind of irritated I drove nearly an hour to look at it and ALMOST brought my trailer.
