2009 Polaris sportsman 500 efi HO price?

Saw an ad for a sportsman 500 efi HO for $3800. 115 hours with 650 miles on it and in very good shape. The man is 70 years old and only rode it on his farm. Never sunk or dogged. Fuel injected and serviced regularly. Just got serviced recently. I was wondering was this a good deal because I don’t know how much they’re worth. Thanks.

2006 Honda Rincon 680

I’m picking up a 2006 Honda Rincon 680 this weekend that I made a deal on last weekend. It is a stock ATV with 62 hours and 339 miles on it. It looks great and starts and drives like a dream. Is there anything that I should look at or check out closer before I take it home?? Thanks.

Good price? What options are essential?

First off, I really appreciate your guy’s feedback on the atvs I’ve been looking at. Sometimes it’s nice to get a second opinion from others who ride.
I have been searching fruitlessly for a decent 850 sportsman that’s not beat up and not waaaaaaaaaay overpriced.
I have stumbled upon a deal(?) at the one dealer About 45min from me. They are selling out brand new sportsman 850s for $7,588. I’m having a tough time finding used 2010 -2012 850s for that price. With 1,900 miles or more.

Couple questions arise as these aren’t the top 850s. What do ya’ll think.

Don’t have the nice metallic colors, no power steering and no aluminum wheels.
Are any of these things worth it for the higher price of $9,388?
Is the power steering reliable? Or will it cause issues?
White or green?

Other option right now, 2010 850 with power steering with 2,045 kms for $6,000

Thanks guys. Just contemplating my options.

Canam or Polaris?

Hey guys, I know we are a Polaris only site but time has come for me to consider buying my own ATV. I have been using my dad’s 550 XP as my own for quite a few years now but it’s time I think.
I’m buying used because I can’t afford new and have found a couple that I think are decent. I haven’t looked at either of them yet because I live about 4 hrs away but I’m here for some advice.
I’m assuming some of you ride in groups with others or at least know people that have these atvs. Tell me everything you know and have heard!

My options right now are:
-2009 Polaris sportsman xp 850 LE PS Tequila Gold, plow and everything $5,000 OBO Canadian dollars. 2,100 kms.

Now I know this is a polaris site but I am not just a polaris guy anymore, really dig the canam atvs as well.

-2008 Can-am Renegade X 800R black
$5000 Can 2,300 kms.

Has anyone heard anything about the renegade? Ridden one?
I know one is utility and one is more sport but I could go either way.
Any tips or knowledge about either would be awesome.
I want power and something that can hit some mud once and a while.
Thanks guys
Will get a couple pics up soon.

Deal or No Deal Rincon 650 vs 400 Rancher

I hate to thank about the Palomino leaving home but a buddy of mine wants it so that being said. I ran across a nice 2005 Honda Rincon 650 that has my attention. What is the biggest difference I can expect and will the IRS make a big difference through the gullies and rocky creeks? Any thing in particular I need to know before I pull the trigger on the Rincon?

Tkx, RR
