im looking into buying a 2002 polaris 600 xc sp red snowmobile?
Posted on Jun 18, 2009 under snowmobile dealers |its $2400 and has 6000 miles on it. i was told by the dealer most of the miles are “canadian” miles, i live in ny so whoever owned it must’ve taken it to canada. the compression is perfect and the shocks have been rebuilt and is a one owner sled. also it was originaly purchased at the same dealer and his shop has done all the work, not sure what work though, probably winterization and tune-ups. nice looking sled only high miles. what do you think? good buy or keep looking.
I believe it boils down to how much money can you afford and if you like the sled. A 2002 sled will require maintenance sooner rather than later. If you know how to maintain and repair a sled, then you might be okay. Kelly blue book has costs on sleds. I get a retail of 2600 and a trade in of 1700. It is 7 years old so 6000 miles is below average. 6,000 miles is getting close on rebuilding the top end of the engine (piston and rings). If you know how to do it, it can cost you about $500 or so in material. Keep in mind that the shocks, bearings, hyfax, transfer case, clutch, etc will require maintenance plus repair when it breaks.

ummm first skidoo is better but i love all snowmobiles and i would say that you should ask him on all the work done on it and about why the things were repared and why he rebuild the shockes instead of putting new ones one ask about the engine and track high milage isn’t the best i would say keep looking personally in somthing over 2003 because it is just a better year.. oh and the price is kinda high. i bought a 2006 skidoo mx z 600 adrenaline for $6000, 2 years ago so there are good deals out there…
