Just my two cents, but if you don't know cmx, then you won't have any clue that $3000 is a steal. I have a 2002 cmx and the bill of sale was $25,000 new (yes, $25,000 in 2002 for a snowmobile!). Brand new 2015 cmx's are $46,000. So I'll bet that this 2006 cmx was around $32,000 when bought new (back in 2006, when a brand new skidoo or arctic cat cost $4500). These sleds are the Ferrari of sleds, they aren't toys, and will perform better than ANY sled out there, as long as the driver has an experience level to match the sled. Even though it's older and has trailing arms, you can't f* with this sled. (I prefer trailing arms anyway, they make the front suspension exponentially stronger than a-arm sleds. Trailing arm sleds are coming back into production soon anyway)..
I think the seller is short-changing himself by not telling of the immense fabrication that goes into these sleds (everything on the body is fabbed at cmx except for part of the bulkhead and the plastic dashboard panel), the lightness (weighs less than 400 wet), the components (Team clutch, Cmx belt drive, Kick *** intake, Fabcraft trailing arms, Performer computer, Slp powder pro skis, Boss seat, Fox shocks, etc.) and the materials that went into this sled (carbon fiber, kevlar, titanium, custom-made billett aluminum, etc.). This sled was cutting edge technology in 2006 and still can't be beat for that price today. The guy who owns the cmx factory is super friendly and approachable with any questions and support, and cmx-specific parts are readily available from him. These sleds are made individually, and need to be ordered a year ahead of time. And when it's finished, you have to go through a riding course at cmx in Montana in order to learn how to use it correctly.
I live in Colorado, as of last year when when I registered mine, there were only 23 cmx's registered in the state. So as a result, everywhere you go, you will have people gathered around your sled asking questions about it and taking pictures. (I coincidentally own a Ferrari too, and get the same attention in the Ferrari!)
I'm surprised that this sled has been for sale for this long, but I think it's mainly because of two factors: 1) because of low cmx production, attention to production detail, and the fact that only rich people can afford to buy these new, very few people have any idea whatsoever what a cmx is, 2) 99.9% of snowmobiling society have fell into the hype of the big four (skidoo, yamaha, polaris, arctic cat) hook-line-and-sinker like drones, believing that the best sled is the one that their neighbor has. Cmx is ONLY for people that want to stand out in a crowd, and also for people who want AWESOME performance from their sled, unmatched by the big four.
So anyone who wants a sled like no other should jump on this sled and buy it ASAP!
Also, if anyone from Colorado buys this sled, let me know and we can go riding!!!!!!
