Im trying to figure out if its worth selling my vertical escape Its a 2003 with a 2000 miles on the chassis and 500 on the engine the engine is a psi 825 with dial a domes twin pipes v forece reeds holtzman attac system big wheel kit 159 ported track perk reverse and electric start and simmons skis. Just wondering what kind of value would you put on it? Sled is supposed to have around 170ish horse. The body is in great shape. Just looking for some rough numbers dont have any pics of it currently im just throwing the feelers out to see if anybody is possibly interested or if its even worth while selling

If you are still looking for tips, I just bought a 2003 vert escape last year. The guy was asking 4500 and I paid 3800. It came with slp pipe,can,air box and equalizer bottle. Not sure if reeds are done, also came with N.O.S which has never been used since I bought it. Anyways off topic should be happy with 5000 for sure they all stop at 5000 bucks and depending on the shape it's in they could be only worth as low as 2500 bucks, but that's like really rough shape

its an 03 it is worth whta someone will pay for it. the problem is that most guys see 03 vert escape, i can get this other guys for 3 why pay 5 for yours, the engine is worht more by itself than it is in the complete sled. if seriously trying to sell it part it out or sell engine by itself first. otherwise be preppared to get 25-3 for it. lots of them on kijiji right now and sleds are not moving at all, seen 08 xps sell for just over 5g this weekend with tons of extras, 2011 rushes were selling for 4800 bucks. just sayin.

If by "just over $5K" you mean $1500-$3000 over $5k I agree lots out there.... if your getting 08 xp's for $5k I need to take you shopping with me next time...

but I agree for an 03 it is only worth what someone is willing to pay, I upgraded this year and got an 07 M8 snow-pro with 1600 miles for $4900 but searched long and hard and had some help from rusty picking the sled apart to make it seem worthless.
I would not have considered a 2003 unless it was under $3.5k no matter what was done to it, can't justify 4 model years for a mere $1500 difference. now if you find someone with a cieling of $4k making the 05/06/07's out of reach you might get $4....

watched three of them sell this weekend 2 summits and an mxz. the one summit had all fox shocks, holtz skid and front end, and snow eliminator boards on it.price ranged from 52-57 on the three, was quite surprised actually. that being said though the 96 670 summit went for 2600.00 wtf. i think lots of guys had a 2500-3g cap on funds.

I sold my 03 VE last April for $3500, it just had a $4000 motor put in it 2 years before.
nicest sled I ever had, but couldnt start it when was left outside in 20 below.,getting old I guess.
