Default Need Help -Polaris 800's 2006's

Hey guys....Looking for advise on what to do here....already set on Polaris so I would rather just focus on the deal I have at hand...

Is this a good deal? I think it is. Which one should I buy?...tell me you thoughts on this....Thanks!


Both at the dealer

1)2006 Polaris Sportsman 800 EFI ( 0 miles ) sitting at the dealer - (CAMO MOSSY OAK) - $6900 out the door.

2)2006 Polaris Sportsman Browning Edition -800 EFI ( 0 Miles )- Limited Browning Camo Mossy Oak. Has a Winch, Heated Grips, Rear rack extention, Browning Logo, Gun mount and Scabberd, I think a GPS - $7650

Thanks!

Does the Browning have the lift kit ?........

I would check/call around,seems a little high but then again the area in witch you live makes a dif too.

They both are good rides.....

Don't want a used one huh? and save a grand or two?

both seem similar deals.....what would it cost you to add to the other what you'd want to? ie....a winch? gun rack? gps?

I'd probably go for #1 and just add a winch, and already having a gps, don't need another....and save some cash$$, course I'd buy used....

the second one, i know where i hunt the winch is an absolute lifesaver and heated grips help so much on the ride back to camp in the dark with the temperature hovering around zero, but you could add these too the other one

I had a 1997 Sportsman 500. I bought it new and it only had somewhere around 350 hrs on it when I sold it.There were always minor problems with it. It did run good,I'll give credit for that.The belt cover had warped and Polaris had made a revision to the belt covers. Made out of a more heat resistant material.All I wanted from Polaris was the new part number. That way I would be able to order the revised belt cover and not one of the original ones.Their customer sevice what it is refused to give me any information. All the woman could say was take it to you dealer.It wasn't much after that I sold it and bought a new 06 Honda TRX 680.If I can't get service after the sale then I don't need to buy their products.
