They are good solid sleds.

They are good solid sleds.

What he said. They are solid machines, get a tether if it doesn't have one installed already. The 16's worked really well out of the box...

16 plus are really the sleds to look for.
narrow swept spindle front end.
team clutches.
better skis.
way stronger fixed post.
Limited will have the storage bag and better shocks.
Not much changed between 16-17 unless you go mountain cat, they are basically an 18+ ascender without the body panels, deluxe gauge and ctec engine
All dependent on price of course as sleds are retarded right now.
I wouldn't pay more than around 6-7k for that machine, dependent on mileage and mods.
Paid 7k for my 1200km mountain cat 153 in 2019 with belt drive and can installed.
Paid 6k for my sons 2016 m6000 141 with 800k and a can installed this summer before the price hike, had to drive to sask to get it though lol.

Now i know that deal doesn't happen in times of covid but it gaives you an idea
