Sportsman Price ?

[Trollin226]

A friend of mine is going througd a devorce and is selling a 2004 polaris sportsman 500 HO. It has 2000 miles and is in good condition. I was wondering what everyone would think is a good price would be?

[Jim Uran]

Just the machine? does it have any additions? I think that would give someone a better idea on how to price it.

Right now a bone stock SP500 HO, 2004 with 2K miles would bring in the ballpark of $3-3500 (this is a rough guess). It might be far less considering that a guy can purchase a new/carry over SP500 for as low as $5200.

The local dealer here has popo's pricing as buy one get another for 1/2 price They must be desperate!

Wonder if there's any limitations on this deal. Definitely trying to move machines.

what would a like 06 800 sportsman with low miles approximently cost?

[Larson15]

you can find them for around 5-5500

[jltimm]

The sign on the store says 2008 Sportsman 800 blowout deals for around $6500 ( I can't remember the exact price). Then below that it says "buy one atv get another for 1/2 price".

[Dave S]

I would have to believe that you pay full MSRP on a 800 or 850 and maybe get something like a Phoenix or Predator 90 half price.

[Tyler23]

well im thinking nows the time to buy and i might be able to find a good deal on a nice 800. i got a 03 400 now so hopefully i can sell it.

[jltimm]

I wondered if there was a catch to this, but I'm not interested in popo's, so no need to find out.

[Dave S]

selling might be tough right now. Been trying to sell mine too.

[Tyler23]

thats what i thought but my buddy put his c-list and it was like a 01 sportsman 400 with 6,000 miles and it sold within 2 days so i started thinking maybe i could score that kinda deal

The price for the 08 800 IQ was $6750 on the store front today.Still had the buy one get one 1/2 off add up also!

A IQ is a sled not a wheeler isnt it?

[jltimm]

I was wondering the same thing? I think that was the letters wrote on the sign in the dealers window.

[Dave S]

Yup,

the IQ is a sled.

[CrappieBart]

The deal is buy a Polaris at FULL price and recieve a predator 90 cc free. This info is from a dealer and it's not that great of a deal. There are better deals...you can get pretty good deals on discounted prices on 08. Sportsman 500-for only $5499 EFI

[jltimm]

Sounds like a rip-off to me!

If you can swing it, go with a new 500. That way you don't have to deal with someone else's headache and you'll get the warranty. Resale will also be higher when it comes time to upgrade. I think I've seen carry over carb models around $5200 in the past, might be able to work a better deal with dealers getting desperate.
