not really your buying a used sled ur not going to get a perfect condition id be more worried about the suspension and tunnel bends and how it runs over the skis belt etc is all stuff you have to change very frequently as a proper maintenence, check compression , colour of plugs after running , suspension etc skis and carbides are always cheeper than motors , check the kilometers good luck u want low k the better

@JungleListSoldier Hmmm, sounds to me someone modifed the true miles. Be wise to this growing scam. The two most important things are milage/hours and oxidation level. Of couse if has been crashed that's a separate matter. I know a couple guys here I ride with, they say miles don't matter. I am tired of towing them!

[JungleListSoldier]

@axyww That is false logic. I recently was shopping around for a Ski-Doo Mach Z and looked at a 96 with just 1000 miles and it was very beat up, all the suspension parts where rusted and even had a hole in the hood. The motor barely started and kept stalling. No Thanks Then found the same exact year and model with 2800 miles and it's near mint condition, looks like it came off the showroom floor and starts up ta the first pull. So no miles alone do not mean much, they are just a guide.

lol polaris is so dependable we have had no problems with our 96 ultra sp 680 triple

everyone forgets about milage. i will not buy a snowmobile if it has over 2000 miles. milage will tell u if the sled needs a rebuild and how much use it has.

[ps3mgs4]

if its a polaris, it may look great when buying it but be prepared to ride for 2 hrs and fix for 8 (i have a polaris) hahaha

@Albertasnowmobiler Dude ive forgot more than you know about sleds.
