500 XT with 700 miles
800 XT with 2,100 miles
Overall condition between the two seems to be close, with a very slight edge going to the 800.
The 800 is approx. $700 more than the 500.
Am I crazy to not buy the 800? I’m thinking about power for my use and ease of resale (thinking that 3, 4, 5 years from now, it should be easier to sell the 800, although I have no empirical evidence to back that up).
That said, $700 is $700, and I could use that saved money to buy a plow and other accessories. For my use, is the 800 overkill? I mean, more power is almost always better (or, maybe just always better), but I don’t see me wanting to go 60 or 70 mph, and I suppose it’s theoretically possible to have "too much" machine.
For the record, I’ve ridden my son’s Renegade on a very limited basis, and it has not felt slow or underpowered. However, I’m afraid my opinion could change over time, as I become more and more used to riding. And, again, I’m thinking about desirability when it’s time to sell.
Would really appreciate any and all thoughts/advice! Thanks!
