His girlfriend probably got a hold of his phone and jumped on facebook and posted his sled for sale so she can have him all to her self....No guy would sell a newish sled for that much haha unless he hit his head really hard.

Hahaha his girlfriend is in his profile pic so I think you’re right. Hahah.

2016 T3 163 without question for me...I ride a 2015 174 T3 and it been extremely reliable. I am having an electrical issue that seems to be turbo related. I would buy Beachsled's sled he has in the classifieds if it was me before somebody else scoops it up. smoking deal for the amount of sled you get.

2016 Cat M8000 ltd 162 3"

I would go with the Axys without a doubt in that list. I find the Pro/Axys chassis to be the easiest to ride in tight trees for me. That being said, the Skidoo will out pull them as far as highmarking is concerned, but in the trees I will take the Polaris every day of the week.

I would take the Arctic Cat hands down. Reliable engine. Great clutches and with new spindle angle it sidehills very predictably. And it’s stronger than the other ones IMO.

A fair spread on the list there. I do like the tree riding and trying to go more technical so was leaning on the axys. Would also like to try a 174 before dropping ten k or so into it.

I happen to have a 2016 Axys 163 3” that I was thinking about listing to get a new sled. Send me a PM if you want more info.

The ‘16 XM’s are nice. Great motors, T3 is nice. I have a 16 XM as well non T3. Prefer the Axys over it for just about all the riding we do.

That sled Beachsled has $5000 in up grades at least(most likely more) with low kms....I was thinking of trying to sell mine to buy it and slab the turbo on that beast. I don't know the guy from Adam, but that in my opinion is the best used sled on the market for the price. It will go anywhere an Axys will and then some
