Good suspensions, and they had all the bugs worked out of them by that year.

have you ever owned a sled before? this might be a little to big for a first sled. also, do you have any information on the sled? we can let you know if it sounds like a good deal or not.

$2500 sounds like a pretty good deal. how many miles on it? that sled will be great for playing around in the snow!

$2500..........I bought a 2002 MXZ 800 off of craigslist for $1800 in perfect shape. Try to talk them down.

hey i just got one in mint condition make sure the recalls are up to date i just found out the crankcase seal is bad i have to get a new one im lucky i caught it early!! make sure to over look the whole sled and good luck!

Any other minor imperfections in an 02? My bud found one at a dealer for 2grand, 5600 miles...We are going to renegade it if he gets it

how would one go about checking crankcase seals before buying?

Drock1217 · Yesterday, 05:02 PM

the way i found out is does it backfire once in a while does it have trouble starting after riding for a while these can be some clues but u will have to look on the left side by the clutch and have to pull that off to see if its a dealer they prob cleaned it out ur best bet is to just have it fixed they would put a metal shim in there to keep the seal in the place thats what they did for me. tell ur buddy to talk him down a lil with 5600 miles it should be a lil cheaper! but if its in mint conditon then do it up they last a while i no alot of guys that have this sled! make sure the recalls are done the dealer will be able to tell u if it is!

The manager is a local guy, we both know him and he said he can't come down at all...sounds like bull to me but ya never know. I told my bud to do a compression test for starters and then if its low tell him he wants 400 bucks off.

I thought a more reasonable price was 1800 but thats just me...

Drock1217 · Yesterday, 05:22 PM

i payed 2000 for mine with 2200 miles mint condition no scratches no anything the engine and all under hood is mint like out of showroom! if i was him i wud have it checked and compression to if the guy dnt do it then its to good to be true! dnt waste ur time then but if they work with u then thats good most of time these machines are trade ins and they clean them up and then just sell them right away take for test drive check it all they have checklists online u can print out!! good luck let me no what happens they are sick ass machines and are no jokes they are fast and reliable! the only thing o dnt like is they eat gas and oil but its a beast machine i wud look on craigslist and ebay and wait for the right one i bet u cud find one on there cheaper and nicer with less miles if u need help finding one let me no i will find u one!

jwaldmann89 · Yesterday, 07:31 PM

We will see what happens, I'm going to check craigslist again. I thought he was looking for a REV but he seems to like the idea of the MXZ with a long track now. And he wasn't really looking for an 800 but I think the power idea has grown on him lol

jwaldmann89 · Yesterday, 08:13 PM

Just sent him 18 links to MXZ's that were better deals then the one at the local dealer. Just a matter of traveling to look at them
