I have been searching for a nice used sled for my 13 year old son. Looked for a month and found nothing to meet my expectations, tired of looking at abused and poorly maintained sleds. By chance I called my X neighbour to see if he still had his Mountain Cat that he bought new in 02. He did and said it has been sitting around in his shop for the last 7 years. He's only ridden it 4 times in 7 years. It has 275.5 miles on it, not even broken in. After listening to him complain about how it is in the way and how he never has a chance to ride he asked me if $4000.00 was a fair price. I said yes. He paid $9050.00 plus extras in 2002. I now have a brand new 2001 Mountain Cat 600 EFI for my spoiled rotten teenager :)

After washing all the dust off it it looks like a showroom purchase.

also included in the deal:

2 4L jugs of synthetic cat oil
sled tarp
brand new spare belt and plugs
low altitude cam arms (weights) for primary never used

There litterally is'nt even a scratch on this thing!!! Check out the tool tray, no grime or rust, never been used.

how do you sleep at night? I hope that you at least kissed him. You should at least take him and his family out for dinner.

That's a great find Scotty.Hope your teen appriciates it.

GigDog... you make a great point. Zac appreciates it like you can't imagine. He has not slept a full nights sleep since I picked it up. He had to wait until I returned from out of town so he could ride it. Also the proceedure of removing the old fuel and greasing the sled etc. took a bit of time before he could ride... good for him to help out his Dad, which he did.

It now has 285 miles on it. :) We went out tonight and let him practice in the open field. His little brother rode his 120. I sat on the quad and supervised.

I seemed to have a bit of a problem on my hands now. Big brother rides a 600 and little brother (s) run 120's. :( The 120's are looking a little slow tonight.

Pipes... LOL :) Never kissed him but I would have if he asked! My wife told me that we have to show our appreciation some how and I could'nt agree more. Gift certificates to the Keg will be sent for sure. :beer:

That is a nice find. Even though it's a CAT. Don't make to much noise about this or your x-neighbour will find out you got too good a deal.

lol... He already knows. I told him that he could get alot more if he listed it. He said that he was just happy that we could enjoy it instead of it sitting and collecting dust. He is a great guy and has a big heart. Money is the least of his concerns.

Bucky... as the boys all get older the demand for sleds grows with them. Not only do I have to start looking for a bigger trailer, I have to start looking for a job that provides a bigger income :):beer::beer:
