Renegade 600 or SRX 600??

I am looking at a 2003 Ski Doo Renegade 600 with 3000km in absolute mint condition and a 1998 SRX with 6000km with a newly rebuilt engine, also in very nice shape.

Which one should I buy and why?

The SRX is $3000.
The Renegade is $4000 (may be flexible as owner moved accross the county last year and has his fridnd selling it here)

Prices are in CDN $.

Holy chit! I just about asked almost the same question. I have alway's been a Yamaha fan, but it looks as though that those doo's have the better suspension. I would go with that newer Renegade!

Looks like a cut and dry decision....

How fast is the Renegade? Will it keep up with(or beat) a Switchback 800?

It might have a problem keeping up with the Switchback, but you will pick up more women on the Doo....

I called buddy in Ontario, and he says he won't let the Renegade go for less than $5000.... Don't know why his buddy told me $4000... Anyway, that's more than I want to spend.

What about that 98 SRX 600?? What do you think?
