RZR XP 1000

Too good of a deal to pass up, or?

We’re still trying to figure out if we’re going to buy a RZR and a 900 S is what I was looking at, but then my buddy calls and tells me a guy on his job site has a ’14 1K with skid plates, bumpers, roof, nerf bars (or maybe rock rails) that he’ll let go for $15k. It’s only got around 300 miles and 35 hours on it. It’s in good shape, and he’s only selling it to buy a 4 seater.

Here’s the bitch of it. A few weeks ago I needed a trailer for an upcoming ATV ride and couldn’t get the 77 x 12′ PJ that I wanted, so, in a pinch I bought a Maxey ATV trailer. The floor is 61.5" by 10 ft., but the rails angle up to 6.5 ft wide. I could fit a 900 S on it, but I would have to modify or sell it if I bought the 1k. Since it’s new with only one 200 mile trip on it I’m thinking the depreciation loss would offset the great price on the 1K.

So, is that too good of a deal to pass up? Around my area there’s quite a few for around $16,500 and up with more hours / miles, so it seems to be, but I don’t know how much wiggle room there is in those prices. Granted, I also wonder if I should just buy a 900 S from Polaris of Benton, stick a few upgrades on it, have less money in it, and know that it should work with my trailer.
