I found some brand new 08 M1000 162 cats on the internet for $6800. I know nothing about cats Im a Polaris guy but this sounds really cheap. Ive been looking for a 163 800 dragon that is reasonably close to me but nothing yet. Any inpute on these M1000's will be appreciated. Thanks

I have no personal experience with them, but i did buy one a couple weeks ago. Seems real nice.
I have been reading a lot about them on here and pretty much they are definitely better than the previous years. but they are not as good as an 09 though.
It was cheap enough for me to try her out!!

Was it from Country Cat? I picked two up last April. We got them broke in but thats about it. 250 miles or so on them. My research says to keep a eye on the diamond drive but beyond that I have not heard much serious to look out for.

x2 on the diamond drive. I got mine from Kens sports in WI. They were $200 cheaper...
I'd take an M10 over a D8 any day of the week.

Ya it was country cat, looks like a good deal. Articcat are you from southern IA??
Got "about" 1000mi on my 08 M1K i figure. I say figure because the speedo doesn't work, again, after being fixed once under warranty. Other than that and a very rare, random elect short that kills the engine (like 3 times last year, and no I didn't hit the kill switch!) the sled has been pull and go with a CPC head and SLP pipe from day one.
I won't brag about the clutching, but that's fixable and not Cat's fault.
Overall, good sled. Not too heavy for me, but I'm 2 hundo. My wife can't throw it around though and when I get on her M7 I gotta admit I like the light weight, but quickly tire of that in favor of the HP of the 1000!
Oh and just got on it's 2nd belt last year, maybe at 800 mi. They're not all belt blowers and mine died after multiple attempts at getting someone's dead sled out of a basin, I was real hard on the belt that day, it deserved to be retired.
