Call spectra power sports in Williams Lake, pretty hard to beat their prices.
Hi Swat, i'm in the Kamloops area. I've kinda been looking around at different shops in BC and the 570's seem to be going for around 10,900 plus all the bull**** fees of course like freight pdi etc

hmm, who mentioned the Maverick? anyway i seem to remember differently? not that it matters much!

beerwolf also didn't want to spend $25,000 either! sounds like a bit south of that fiqure.

Not trying to plug a non vender business but they are good and close to your area. Our local guy is awesome but might be getting far away for you.

on a used unit, you are best to look around, depending on what you are looking for, as majority will likely been rode hard. good used are out there, luck

what are your intended uses for the SxS, high speeds, jumps donuts, mach chicken down trails, are more suited to the rzzr, mavericks, wildcats etc . the ranger, viking type machines not so much, up to you, who you ride with and what you like doing.

Those xp's are really nice but the almost 20,000$ price tag is a lot more then the 570 etc

If you got quoted 20 for a ranger you need to shop around! Buddy just bought a 900 ranger eps limited for 16300

just a fyi, the rzzrs, trail cats, etc you will always be riding in the muck n water, with the rangers, viking, ac utility SxS's you sit above the slop. more of a work machine, different riding altogether. easier in and out, able to move around, carry more than 2 soda pops. you won't win any races, but will be more than capable of getting there. jmo:twocents:

Rzr and stuff you do get really dirty! Which is ok some days but most it sucks. But like rzrgade said the mavs seem to be the cleanest sports machines.

:confused: A guy goes out and spends big $$$ on a mud capable machine. Same guy takes the machine out and tears around in the mud. Same guy complains about getting muddy??!! Lol, just hand over the keys.

True true!
Usually don't go around many mud holes, it's kind of nice not having to wear waders though! Mostly runners or boots, this summer waders most of the time!
Measured seat i got 35 inches and 2 shock notches to go! About as high as i want to go! would have to go wider, probably should. but trails are usually a bit on the skinny side.

Lol. I should of worded that different. I shouldn't say most days, but if you are out hunting or something you wouldn't want to get real muddy. I know a couple of guys that have rzr and complain about the mud!

The guy that bought my RZR got quotes in the same ball park as mentioned here. He bought mine cause he saved a solid $5k, that's a
lot of $$$$.
Ya you can buy new one's for 16K but in reality out the door will be over $18,000. If a guy takes his time and knows what he's looking for, i'm sure a good used unit can be had. There are lots for sell, you just need to spend time weeding the junk.

Don't want to high jack this thread but, I'm also in the market for a side x side. Looking for suggestions, here's my situation. I'm looking for something my wife can drive mostly with my daughter who is 5 right now. I ride dirt bikes and my 7 year old son is learning, so he might be riding in the side x side once in a while also. I would love to have something that the 4 of us could go for a cruise in together once in a while, but here's the kicker. I need something I can put on my sled deck with 2 dirt bikes. Any suggestions? Thx

Stay away from a wildcat trail or sport 700 if you want them for hunting, one of the worst machines for that: hard to get in/out with muddy boots, sits low, no rear storage... Sport only machine. I've owned one for 2.5years, hate it for hunting but love it for everything else.
The ranger 570 is best bang for buck and should be able to get it for under $11k OTD in AB, call Parkland in Red Deer for pricing usually real good.

would be a good 2 man hunting vehicle, polaris 500, yamaha rhino, would all be suitable for hunting, kids and wife could drive and have fun. good for trail rides, i have seen on sled decks(safety ?). plus you can find them used!

That would be my next question. I've seen them on sled decks, but how sketchy is is travelling down the Hwy? I do have a 3500 long box though.

SxS weight is a lot higher than 2 sleds, center of gravity, makes the truck a bit tippy! high speed avoidance manouvers will require a quick shorts change at the very least. meeting a fine ambulance crew is more likely. see this all summer, with the SxS rodeo clowns going down the hwy. seems like they have a race to the grave going on.

just a quick check on kiji brings up a few used SxS's, and new polaris rangers at $10,774.

no idea what northern BC has to offer though.
