I currently own a Sportsman 570 EFI and love it (have had it for about 1 1/2 years). I am planning to buy another ATV so that my sons can join us on the trails. They are 15 and 18 and have no riding experience. I want to get something that they can grow into, but I also don’t want to go overboard.
Because the used market here in Michigan is way overpriced (many 5 year old machines above new retail), I started looking at a new Sportsman EXT or another 570 EFI. While shopping, I came across a used 2015 570 SP with 18 hours and 125 miles on it for $6500 and a small amount of the warranty left. The new 570 I’m looking at is $5800 with all fees. I’m wondering if I should spend the extra $700 and get the SP and let my sons use the old 570.
What is everyone’s thoughts? Am I better off keeping what I have and just getting them an EXT for $5000? Should I avoid used regardless of cost? Can’t decide which direction to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
