and the 16 rubicon 500. Now I’ve been doing tons of research, and right away I crossed out the Rubi (love the Honda reliability, can’t justify price).
After doing some price research, I had pretty much settled with the Yamaha, it was 1k more than the 570 both with EPS and it came with a winch, which I would’ve added on any atv I picked. BUT, I started to realize, for my purposes, camping, some trail riding the odd rip on some back roads, I really don’t need a pricey new quad or eps. And low and behold I’m looking around and a 2015 Sportsman with 225km pops up with a winch, used, at a dealership, AND on sale, a solid 1500 less than a new Popo. So the questions I have are:
1) Are the issues overblown on these machines? And has Polaris rectified them (before, after 15 model?)
2) I am concerned with how cheap the atv is, do they not hold value? Or should I be worried about there being issues.
3) Are the kinks worked out in the 16’s, I’d almost prefer to pay the 1500 for a peace of mind.
Also looking at a uses 2013 Rincon 680 if anyone knows how that may compare (not a serious contender until I get a price). Thanks guys and gals!!
