Market price of a polaris 450 sportsman

Recommended Posts

My dad has a 2006, polaris 450 sportsman. It can switch from 2wheel to 4wheel drive. Dads 73 purchased it new. It only has 25 miles, used to rider to deer stand and to his farm. What would be a good price if we would sell?

We looked at a used 2002 Sportsman 500 that was priced at $4295.

MSRP for a new 2007 Sportsman 450 is around $6200. We also looked at a 2007 Sportsman 5000 that was priced at $6000 at a dealer. I think for so little miles $3500 is too low

I hope you're right because only 25 miles....He really lost alot of money for only putting on 25 miles. The problem is that there isn't a warranty left. Wouldn't bother me, but some people are wierd about warranty.

considering you can purchase a non-current SP 500 w/EFI for $5500, I would have to say that a SP450 w/only 25 miles would bring $4300-4500 from the right buyer. Any dealership that had that machine would ask that much if not more. But that's a dealership and not everyone is keen enough to know exact values.

My neighbors have, or had a 2000 SP500 (pre-H.O.) and they were asking $3700 with only 370 miles on it. This machine was in mint condition and taken care of. I'm not sure if they sold it yet.

If I was to use the wheeler it would have about 2000 miles on it from ice fishing. Dad needed it as his legs would give out if he walked to far. He did use it a couple times to fish Norway lake.

Dad past away after thanksgiving, I want to buy it from mom. And know that I am giving her what the machine would get if advertized. She deserves the money for all the things mom has done.

jigginjim,

your a good man. I commend you for looking up to your mother the way you do. Sorry to hear about your fathers passing.

My dad traded his SP400 for a Rhino because he's having hip problems and could probably use a hip replacement.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
