in 2005 i bought a left over 2004 honda rubicon 500 with a plow. The wheeler listed at $8200 and i picked it up for $6100 because it was a left over year. I love this thing. I've had it for 3 years ow, all i use it for is plowing (it does a great job) and getting in and out of my deer stands. The only thing i may have done differently, is that its all time 4X4, no 4X2 option. But Honda makes a great product and you can't go wrong with them (imo)
