What should i look out for when buying a snowmobile

[SnowX51]

wow, all of you are giving me a great idea of what to look out for! Butt, i have one more question... my uncle told me liquid cools are the best way to go because of the way there engines are built. Is this right?

Well stay away from the Free air Machines,they tend to run hot! LOL!

if buying a cat be sure to get spare clutches and chaincase/drives for it And the yami's are real nice fit and finish and look good with a warn 2ooolb winch on front.

Well i was look towards the 1999-2001. I want hopefully somewhere between 500-700. Liquid cooled. But what do u think it would cost for those machines? under $3300?

You should be able to find an MXZ for around that price, DEPENDING on mileage.

My input is to check what I would call the lines on the sled. Where side covers/hoods fit together and make sure nothing is way out of whack. If something doesn't look right or fit quite right then something is probably bent.

You may want to look at the 670 summit X in the same range of years. I sold mine last year for $2500.00 with a new motor.
The advantage of the summit is that the DPM adjusts the carbs automatically for altitude change. Get in to a 136" x 2" and you can go just about anyhwere.
