FIRST TIME SNOWMOBILE BUYER- need advice please!

I found an 2006 arctic cat f7 firecat with 950 miles for about $4450 with tax is this a good deal?

Any help would be appreciated, if you think this is too expensive let me know what you think this snowmobile is worth

Thanks so much

That seems a bit high, Tax? must be at a Stealer!

My buddy just got a 2006 F7 for around $3200. It did have more miles but $4450 does seem a little high. With the low miles and if its in great shape I would consider $3800 for it.

Low miles... but $$$ sounds a tad high. Also, I'd buy private party if I could. Stealers have way too many resources available that alows them to hide problems with the sled... A private owner will talk your ear off and let you know the sled's entire history. If they're not willing to do that... move on.

W O W! I was going to post that looks like a steal and I'd hop on it a second. Right now in ND there are tons of roughnecks with way too much money. That sled would be gone instantly. For comparison, here is a 2005 F7 with 4000 miles, and he is asking $4000. That is not at all unusual, I've seen ones quite a bit higher locally.

You could always offer him less! Start at like $3750 and meet him at like $3900?
