I am getting ready to list this quad on Craiglist but thought I would put it here first. 2001 Polaris 500 Sportsman camo edition. Comes with the Polaris lockable rear storage box. I also have the rear rack too. This quad is ready to hunt, heavy duty suspension, near new 8ply tires, new battery, new starter. I have some accessories like bow holders that will go with it. Approx 2000 miles. Runs great. Street Legal. Serviced by Iron City Polaris in the past. Haven't used it much in two years since I started building up a CJ7. Could use the cash to keep working on the Jeep (just empty every pocket) This is a great offroad quad, I tell people that if you can hang on it will take you anywhere. ASKING $3200 OBO. No trades.
