Fishy…..can’t believe you gave it away. Your machine was loaded and like brand new. I know the feeling of the “itch” though.
I get the itch every year about this time……I’m holding out another year though.

I’m holding out too…… I would like to have a 2nd machine eventually but need to finish paying for the current one, I did buy the 5 year warranty on this one with the intention of keeping it long term and buying the 2nd machine in about 2 years. This one will be the dedicated tracked machine when the time comes.

Speaking of Tracks I listed my Polaris Prospector Pro Track Kit for sale today…….. so if you know anybody looking for a set get in touch with me. I decided to buy a new set instead of buying mounting brackets for the XP …….. if I don’t sell them before winter I will put them on Wifey’s machine……

I’m hoping to sell mine this fall. It’s a 2006 Sportsman 500 EFI with 118 miles on it. It’s got pretty much everything on it.

What do you guys think I’ll be able to get for it??

Thanks!!

IMO you would be lucky if you maged to get $4000 for it. You can buy a brand new 500 sportsman for $5000.

I sold my 08-800 in mint condition, loaded with accesories and 1 year left on the extended warranty. I sold it for $5700…… if I was patient I could have probably gotten a few hundered more but I was itching for an 09-850 with power-steering.

As for buying a used machine that would all depend on the seller and condition. I would thouroughly inspect it, look for dirt/mud in the frame. Check the radiator, make sure the fins are clean and not bent. Look at the exhause and see if it is stained/caked with mud. I would also try to find a machine with no performance mods and no over-sized tires. As already stated check the oil, air box, remove the skid, test the 4×4, etc……… all that being said I prefer to buy new. although you could still end up with a problem laden machine.

I looked at them at the Ice Fishing show last year. Great looking product, just wouldn’t work with how i’m setup.

Well I sold my Mossy Oak 08-800 and Replaced it with a 2009 XP 850 with EPS. Here are a few pictures of it, just need my hand/thumb warmers and some a-arm guards.

I wonder how the weather is going to turn out for the weekend. I hope it is as nice as it has been lately.

---

I am still contemplating this weekend….. work or play. If I make the ride it would be nice to ride share to save some cost. I did however take my tracks off on Saturday so I am ready to get out and ride.

That’s one heck of a deal.

They are Polaris branded, I am not sure who mfg’s them but I do not believe they are Mattracks. They are similar to the Apache track system used by Can-Am. My Tracks are 2 seasons old and I believe they were the 2nd Gen Polaris tracks. They have a 3rd Gen out now with minor changes.

Ya, got booted for “discussing forum policy” (making fun of the rules in the public forum). I think some of the mods may have had it out for me because I called them “city folk” and “sissy”. Oh well. Everyone is a tough guy behind the keyboard, right………

I said it many times that I liked the people there, just not the dictation on the open forums.

Well, I am a new member here as well (reffered by Roofer). I was also a member over at FM the past few years but also got sick of the forum politics and expressed that so ofcource they hack and edit posts beyond recognition, and also deleted some. This looks to be a little more welcoming.
