Beginer snowmobile

Hey I'm new on the forum and I'm wanting to get into snowmobiling. I'm looking for a used snowmobile to start out on and was wondering what a good starter would be. I'd want something that is 1995 or newer but is low budget because I'm still in high school and is an all around good sled. Any advise would be great, thanks in advance.

ZR580 EFI! The perfect trail sled! 97 or 98 would be the best years (suspension)

Everyone can make their own choices, but if you want to make the best choice here is some advice.
SKI DOO it, or don't bother.
That's just what I believe.
