Thnking of buying 05 Rhino 660

[fnDan]

I may go and look at an 05 rhino 660 with 5800 kms. Asking price is $6k at the dealer.
What do you think of the price and km's?
What should I be looking out for with an 05 or rhino in general?

Too much ...You can buy a Teryx brand new in the states for 8500 $. The rhino is way behind the other S/S in performance as well.....

Seems like a lot of money for a 5 year old quad with almost 6k on it, what kind of accessories does it come with?

I would ask for a compression test at the least, at five years old, you may be replacing some wheel barrings, the winch may be on its last leg, check the steering for looseness. Take a good look to see how the plastic lines up, may be a good indication to how often she's been on her side.

My 06 Rhino has that may km's on it and still runs great, things you might want to look at are the rear diff mount, some the bolts would come loose and cause the mounts on the frame to crack. Check the wheel bearing and front end, brakes, make sure the diff lock works good some have had problems with the splines inside the front diff stripping out. Check and see if all the fluids have been changed as well as the fuel filter and spark plug

I would also look very closely at where the roll cage bolts to the main frame. Check to see if the paint at the welds is still in place. If the paint is gone, means that it has deflected and probably it has been rolled or on its side at least.
