Looking at a 1998 Polaris Sportsman 500 4x4, has rear storage compartment, 2500 lbs winch, plastic is in good conidtion, tires about 80 %, works well, has 1680 miles. Suspension is tight, no rattles any where. Battery 2 years old, front headlights do not work, he has note really looked to see why- he does not drive it after dark, so was not concerned about it, the owner is asking $3000.00, I am new to ATV's, is this a fair price?
I would also be interested in hearing from Polaris owners- what should I look for? what have you had trouble with?

thanks Tommy, thats the kind of feedback I am looking for, will check the gear oil. The universals, and bearings did not seem to have any play in them. What I did like - is that there are grease ports (nipples) on the drive system.
the owner, ownes on Polaris machines, he said; "If I had issues with Polaris- I would buy another brand", he seems to be up front about the bike.

checked all the bulbs in the headlights- every bulb was burned out, installed new ones, including the tail light, they are all working now.

Is this a common issue with ATV's?
