Good Deal on 05 900?

[Oleo1975]

I have a friend looking to sell his 05 snow checked 900. It's bone stock, except front shocks were upgraded last year. 3000 miles. All plastic is in great shape. He wants $2200. Even with all the horror stories I have read and him not doing any updates that seems like a good price to me? Am I just too hungry for a new sled or it is a good deal?

 

[polarisfornow]

yeah that is a good price. just be ready to spend money. I do believe that some were good and some were bad. Maybe thats a good one.

 

[snwman77]

I would buy it if I have the chance right now!
Can I have his phone #

Just be prepared to set aside a couple of grand, to put it up to speed. And that's being optimistic!! Good luck, they are a great power horse sled, if you really enjoy tinkering on it. Your in the right place for answers to any questions you may have.

Where is the sled located? My buddy might be interested.

 

[Oleo1975]

Well , depends 3000 miles with no problems ... offer him more.

Problems ... how good of a mecahic are you on the trail?

But at 3000 miles never touched is close to a major overhaul ... or it could last to 5000 miles.

 

[Oleo1975]

just picked it up....only had 1500 miles

That is a pretty good deal but as stated above, be ready for some unexpected costs when addressing the weak points. I bought mine a couple months ago with almost everything SLP makes for these things already installed on it, 06 pistons and crank, all updates done, and some non-SLP stuff also and I've done nothing but work on it since I got it and have spent another 1000+ on top of what I paid for it just to get it ride ready and reliable. Oh, and it only has 1300 miles on it. I can't wait to ride it, I'm convinced it will all be worth it when I open 'er up for the first time! I think you did good, just don't be surprised at the cost when you dig into it. Good luck. Sonny

Oleo- That is a awsome deal for 2200.00.
That motor is worth at least that.
This has got to be the torqiest beast there is- period

Come on Polaris-Give us 1 more year

 

[redrocketman]

killer deal

killer deal man i spent 3200 and then another 1500 to work through the problems but let me tell ya well worth it more power than my 05 king cat i ride mine all the time and talk about pull your arms all day if your climbing good for you on that deal you wont be disapointed.

 

[Weatherbyman]

Heck, I got mine last year for $4500.00, but it only had 260 miles on it and an SLP Pipe and Can and a Timbersled intake. Since then, I have spent enough that I could'a had a 2010 Dragon!! But it goes like cops are chasing you!

 

[hockey1004]

about 3 weeks ago i paid 7000 out the door for a brand new 09 900 switchback. so i believe you got a killer deal. and mine was all stock too.

 

[ghostwhite]

uh... don't know that they made an 09 900 bud....

 

[guidoxpress]

true...no 09 rmk/switchback/fusion 900

although...i coverted a ton of stuff on my 05..to the 09..so i also have an 09 900

 

[05900]

Still have my 05 snowcheck and it is in the shop right now...oh yeah I am installing WRP Mountain Tuff Boards...Ok I am done now ,was easy as beer.
Have no problems but this could be the year...or not

 

[hockey1004]

i meant 06 900 brand new for $7000 out the door

 

[GBCB]

Oleo- Cheers! I'll drink to that!

Guido- Saw your your sled. Man, you've got some sorta.....fever.

Hockey- Stop man, your making me cry.
