What should I do?

[SpiderViper]

Hey guys I'm going to be heading out to West Yellowstone Montana for the winter next year and I want to have a sled (granted) so I was wondering would it be better to wait and pick one up out there or to get one now and be able to do the basic mods during the summer? I was thinking of I got one before I could set it up for my self and be ready to go when I get there or get one out there and have it be already clutch and jetting wise and tinker with it out there in my trailer? Also what is a good mountain sled to purchase for around 3,000? I was thinking M7 or Summit. Something that I can mod as my ability's grow but definitely in the 150's for track length.

Thank You For Your Time,

In that price range the best thing you could buy (IMO) is a Polaris 800 RMK, edge chassis.

3 monthes from now will be the cheapest time to buy a used sled. October on they will be more expensive. Look this summer for someone needing to move it bad. With a price tag of around 3k, you won't be able to get a whole lot knocked off but it might be enough to personalize it to your likeing.

Yeah I was also thinking of waiting a little while and save some more money while Im working out there would 4,000 be enough for a decent mtn sled?

At that price range you will prob be lookin at 02 -04 poo 800 in the edge, If you can find an M7 for any where near that I would pick it up asap. Have a roomate with an M7 for sale 06 with 1800mi and he is looking at 5500 out of it, I have an 02 800 poo for sale 3400 with a brand new rebuild. 3 to 4 k might get you an older rev. Good luck I wouldn't buy now, work and save through the summer and see how new you can pick up in the fall.
