Hello all, I'm sure something similar to this has been posted, but I couldn't find something exactly like what I'm looking for. If there is something please redirect me.
Anyways, I'm looking to get a used ATV for around $5,500, could go a little more. I've seen some 2013 - 2014 Outlander 1000 xt's for right around that price with around 2k miles on them. Is that too many miles? I haven't seen any, but I assume I can get an 850 xt with around 1k miles for the same price. I'm planning on doing mostly trail riding here in Massachusetts and may eventually throw a plow on the machine. I don't plan on beating on this machine at all and am hoping for something that will get me close to 5k miles with regular maintenance. I've been told I should be looking at a 2014 Grizzly 700 with 500-1000 miles, but figured I'd come here for some suggestions. I know the Outlanders power will be much stronger than the grizzly's, but from what I've read the grizzly's require very little maintenance. Will the extra power be worth the extra maintenance? If I did go with the Outlander how much should I expect to pay yearly to maintain the thing? $250? $500? I'm coming from a 2 stroke dirt bike that cost me $100-$200 a year to maintain.
Any advice/suggestion is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
