95 Polaris RXL

[Scupper]

I'm going to look at a 95 Polaris RXL.
Any one know of these machines or anything I should be aware of?
It has 3000 miles and they are asking $2500.
They claim it is mint condition.
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks...

that sounds like it is way overpriced for a 95 1800 sounds more like the price it should be

I agree with grousehunter.I think if you look around you can find something newer and or less miles for 2500 and you better know what to look for when its got 3000 miles on it.If you have to rebuild shocks,clutches,etc. it can get spendy.Besides that look outside what do you see?

Hey Scupper -

$2500 sounds a bit steep, unless the thing is in perfect condition.

RXL's are an OK sled, but be VERY careful to keep the battery in tip top condition. A weak battery can lead to a walk home, or a meeting with Mr. Squeaky on a cylinder. The fuel injection system need the battery to be at full charge.

The RXL was not the greatest sled Polaris ever put out, but well maintained they can be quite reliable. I have a riding buddy that had seven thousand trouble free miles out of one.

As it turned out,"MINT CONDITION" was in the eye of the owner. He had a new hood and mirrors put on it. I asked him why and he said a ladder fell on it. After some more talking and exchanging war stories of high speed, I felt this one is better suited for someone else. He also said the battery was brand new - 3 years ago. It wasn't a bad sled but not what I'm looking for. As far as the price, I feel he would of come down substantialy.
Again guys, thanks for the input. It's good to have opinions good or bad.
