I have an 07 Outlander 500 XT and love the power, ride, ergonomics, and features of the machine. The visco lock is kinda a love/hate relationship...I wasn't a big fan at first but I've gotten used to it. The only time I don't like it is when I'm hill climbing and it kicks in unexpectedly. I don't plan on ever getting rid of the machine, and will probably keep it for the gf/wife to drive.

It sounds like a good price to me. A little more power than a SP500 for a few hundred more. Let us know when you pick it up and be sure to post some pics.

sometimes dealers just can't move inventory while others can. I would definitely make sure they give the "extra once-over" to ensure there is enough lubrication in the cylinders and the top end prior to putting too much time on it.

its a brand new machine. and yes the sales person said that it might take a little time when i finaly buy it because they have to change all the fluids and make sure every thing is in working condition.

I have a 04 kawasaki prairie 700 and would love to have a can am. They are very nice machines and I have not heard anything bad about them. You are making a good choice.

That's a steal! It's almost $2000 cheaper than what I paid for mine brand new! I've got the green one also with chrome mag rims - it's sharp. You won't be disappointed!
