Hello, new to the forum and snowmachining. My uncle is offering to sell me a 2006 RMK 550 fan with 1170 miles. Very well maintained but stored outside. Overall it’s in basically new condition with a small crack in the windshield. He’s wanting $1700 for it. Given the virus and the current trail conditions up here the prices are up on all the used machines. Saw one like it with 2500 miles go for $2700 yesterday.
My question is this a good price? Or should I pass and wait for a better deal on a different sled? I want a reliable sled but I’m willing to do some work, I don’t want one to burn down or blow up on me though. I would be riding in mountains so pretty aggressively but nothing too crazy. I wouldn’t be doing much trail riding.
I’ve read about the burn down stories on these and I’m skeptical. I would plan on putting on additional cooling vents and the oil vent kit to prevent the air bubbles from flowing through the oil.
Thoughts would be appreciated,
Thanks!
