There is a 2001 polaris 500 xc sp and it has 7k miles on it. The guy wanted $1750, but isnt that a little much for a sled that has 7miles on it? The sled also has a brand new 1.25 camoplast ripsaw track and 6in handle bar risers. The clutches were all rebuilt, and the carbs tuned and rejetted, and also it has fox shox all the way around and they were revalved.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

It is overpriced, but not that much. Sleds around here go for about $1500 but not this many miles. I would be cautious and avoid this sled. It may be fine now, but in the coming years it will only bring problems.

I agree....wait for a better one with lower miles. I just bought a 2000 yamaha 500 with only 2500 miles

but think about it, if it wasnt running good, he wouldnt of put a new track on, etc.. miles are kinda high but it prly just needs a top end.. miles arent everything, its the maintance.. go look at it and see its condition

tracks are much cheaper than rebuilds and future repairs with higher miles, so it may just be a selling point. But, price, if lowered a couple hundred, is reasonable.

I can only imagine that motor was rebuilt! But a Pair of pistons and rings, gasket set would run about $150 bucks! A track is atleast $350 - 400!
