Well here is the thing, i bought this wildcat last year ( paid to much but what is done is done right), i need a new track and the rear suspension is shot, i at least need a new strut and maybe springs, the sled is kinda a rust bucket. should i drop the money into the sled for all this new needed parts and labor or should i cut my losses and sell the sled and get a newer one? I REALLY love this sled though so im kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place - and thoughts?

Well to be honest the 93 wasn't the best year for the Wild Cat! All put right it might be worth $1000-1100! The motor might be worth $400-500! Hope that helps you decide! I have a 88 with all the mods and less than 2k! for 1000 and a 91 with a 2 up seat and rev for 1100!

The best year was 88! Heavy though! Some say the 92 was better? The 93 is huge! And heavy! And one of the hardest to work on!

93 and EFI to boot.
Still runs great too.
Don't let kats scare you, the 93 is still a great sled.
With a little effort, it can ride with newer sleds all day and will handle like a lot lighter sled as well.

Oh no I had one! Great sled, just ask which year was best!

**RJ Gleason** · 10-20-2008, 05:07 PM

Any one that still runs is best.
