i think thats what he means too, that you can get a good sled for 2500, and thats a good price for one. i'd look into old mxz's. they're really reliable, and nice all around sleds.
I just went and looked at a 2002 ZL600SS EFI. The guy wanted $3000 and I talked him down to $2,500. Its the Molten Orange one. Hopefully by next weekend it will be sitting in my garage.
