what should a 2000 700 summit sell for?

[kawasakikx250]

Hello i'm looking to buy my first sled and would like some help. I'm looking at a 2000 summit 700 with a 132/2 track with 2800 km on it and he is asking 4300. What is it really worth? thanks for the advice!

Not that! I would think $2500-3000 max for that sled. Lot's of 05/06 M7's around for about what he wants for the Summit, and they're a far superior sled.

I agree with moyie....he's a couple grand too high

ya thats pretty high on that.. sold my 06 RMK 900 for 2500... my 00 summit 700 for 2200 and that came with a home brew sled deck..

for 4500 you can get into an M chassis... or a Rev.... MUCH better sled

hes paying you 4300 to take it and replace the crank a few times? look into that 700 motor. google is your friend. just sayin.....

Thanks for your help all. I kinda though it was too much money.

Stephen 189 I have been searching the net for info for a while and the one thing I found is that there are a lot of people saying both polaris and ski doo have a lot of brake downs. Also I have two friends that sled and they both own ski doo and recommend to go with that brand so.... don't really know what to do beside getting a ski doo.

It depends on what you do with them. I have a 07 polaris 600 switchback and it has been very reliable, apparently the 600 motor is a good solid motor, 700s not so much. I guess it all depends pn how you look after your stuff too.

Well I will be ditch riding and trail and some lake.

why buy a summit then? can't understand why people buy mountain sleds when they will not use them in the mountains....

Because its nice to have a long track when the snow does get deep around home and if the guy decides to go to the mountains in the future...

If a 700 is what you want.....hands down there is nothing more reliable than a 700 Suzuki laydown engine. They're bullet proof. So M7 or F7 for ditchbanging would rock.

For the money you are way better off with an m7 and if you ever go to the hills it is a very capable sled. Very reliable, no diamond drive issues and the suspension is pretty darn good for its time. It also is a good sled to do modifications to but it may be harder to find parts for than an m8. Buy a Cat just to be different then your buddies and it is fun to kick some ass while you are at it.

If your main riding is comprised of trails, lakes, and ditches, you should try an MXZ Renegade. The 136" track (or 137", depending on year) is perfect for that purpose. With little to no mountain experience, it will get you further than you need to go in the hills should you decide to venture out that way.

haha, ya prairie snow gets sooo deep..... rode sleds on the prairies for many years, never needed a long track. used to hit the mountains a couple times a year back then, never had an issue with a 121 1.5" track. went everywhere the big 136" sleds did.

kinda like lifting a truck just in case you may go off road some day.... but it looks cool right.

m7's actually do not like mods, they run waay better stock.
