Should I pull the trigger
 

Guys think I should buy this bike...I just need something to get me to the blind and possibly a day of riding...nothing intense...I don't need a mud buggy etc...just get me through a little mud in the marsh. I can get it for a decent price

1996 POLARIS 500 SPORTSMAN 4X4

Its your money but I personally wouldn't buy anything that says Polaris. Plus its 13 years old.

How many hours are on it??
From the pictures it looks like the owner took good care of it. Get it....you only live once!!
Sulphite...what is the next ULL home game you are going to make???

not sure about the hours but it was garage kept and used lightly...

Not sure right now...wifes taking call on weekends now so might have to be on standby for the youngin...

Polaris + 13 yrs old = BAD IDEA





Stick with a honda ;) Ours is a 03' model LOVE IT...Love the ITP mudlites on it though..




Are those stock tires or different? Cant really tell...Looks like different..But if not (if they are stock) get some different tires..Me and a buddy got their honda 350 stuck the other day with stock tires, which mine would have plowed thru the hole we was stuck in.



Good luck with it if you get one.

You cannot go wrong with a HONDA four wheeler....

find me a 4x4 450 or above in that condition for less than 2,000...I will take her!!

Man I highly advise you NOT to get a Poolaris. My dad, brother, uncle and I each had one and all of them were problems.

Go to highlifter.com and look at the classifieds. You can find anykind you want over there.

I wouldnt buy a Polaris sticker if it cost 1 cent

The only thing I would buy polaris are the Rangers. They are awesome but I had a 95 polaris trail boss and had tons of trouble. You can get a 400 honda foreman or 450 yamaha big bear around 10 years old for $2000. i would keep looking.

That old 300 that fool has pictures of will out pull and outlast any polaris made.

polaris=junk

A friend of mine has his own ATV repair shop in Broussard and he refuses to work on poolarises because to fix anything on them you need a torch, a welding machine and a VERY big hammer. :work:

If your thinking about buying it make sure the cv shafts are good they are the first thing that goes out and are very expensive to replace. Other than that if the price is right pull the trigger.

If your talking about Ryan he only works on his own stuff now days cause he keeps breaking em :rotfl:

that baby is a BEAST in that mud :cheers:



Keep em garage kept, they'll last forever

The pooyiiii 500 has some overheating problems I would def. let it run a while to make sure the fan kicks on and bike stays cool. Also if the front wheel drive goes out it cost a fortune to fix, all electric controlled. Just my 2 cents.

POLARIS 4 Wheeler -Junk:(
POLARIS Ranger- Awesome:)

lol yea that would be about right. I just sold my bike a couple of months ago bacause I was tired of it spending more time at his shop than at my house, I'm pretty sure I paid for his billboard and that overhang on the front door. :*****:
