I just got flipped off my ATV ridding last weekend and broke a rib. Getting to old to be riding an ATV. I just started looking around and this performance shop for cars near my work has a 2014 RZR 1000XP with 37 hours and 350 miles on it. They are asking $12,500 includes original tires and rims and new bead lock rims and tires on it now. From talking with them it appears there owner bought it did some custom modifications, raced it some then put all the original polaris parts back in and are looking to sell it. Sounds to good to be right. I am completely new to UTV's and have no idea what to look at.
I will attach pictures when I can. Any suggestions in questions to ask? or any opinions would be helpful. Thank Mike F.

Unless your ready to wrench on it Mike your better off with a can-am.. you can find commanders bout the same price. With the market shifting away from polaris the price sounds okay.
That's my 2 cents and I own 3 polaris' s. I'll never buy another.. Still waiting for something I want but they don't make that yet.

Mike F,
I'm about to buy a new 2017 Can-Am Commander XT from Lake Norman Powersports. MSRP is $14899. They are selling it to me for $13482. This includes 3 year warranty. No prep, freight or doc ($908 savings). Gotta pay tax ($978) though. Comes with front bumper and winch.

I purchased a used "cream puff" 2012 Rzr XP900 in 2014. Paid $10k. Only 380 miles and 45 hrs. When I sold it in Oct 2015 I had $27k in it and got $7500. It had 4500 miles when sold.
That was my last poopoo. Piece of sh1t. I really hope they go bankrupt. They have suckered too many with shoddy engineering. The fires are legit - it's a result of subpar development.
I like my current Cam-am - the stuff I've done to it was optional. I like that. My next is a Honda hopefully.

For that price take a look at the Wolverine R Spec, I believe a few in the club have those. I recently purchased a 2014 Maverick X-XC from the original owner, it had a good service history and a few mods. I went Can-Am from my previous ATV experience. Now is a good time to buy new, dealers trying to clear 2017 inventory.

Something Japanese that actually has power. My dream involves ktm but that will never happen. Still not ready to settle down to a sxs.
