I know some of you guy's have UTV's, so I am seeking opinions here.
I've been thinking about a side by side for tooling around the job site. I've been using my pickup (3500 Dodge), and walking where I don't want to take it.
I was in town yesterday, and stopped by the local Stihl/Polaris dealer. They had a couple of used ones that they took in on trade. They have gone through both of them and both are in good shape. One has a straight rear axle, the other has IRS. The dealer recomended the IRS. I'm pretty sure he said it was an 2001 model, and it has about 1200 hours on the meter. Tires are all about 80% (judging from looking at the new machines). He's asking $4200, but I think I could get it for $4000, maybe a little less.
Is that a good deal, or way too much money for a machine like that?
I don't know much about them, so you guy's that know educate me.
