I borrowed my father in laws four wheeler to go hunting, got skunked and returned it to his house. Not more than 12 hours later it was stolen. Talk about bad news! Anyway the cop that investigated it was dating a girl in a recent divorce. He informed me that she had 2 snowmobiles she won in a recent divorce. I bought them from her and was wondering what you guys think.
#1 1996 580 EXT powder special. Only 3000 miles. Shortly after purchase one of the pistons blew, I replaced new pistons, gaskets and 1 used cylinder for $235 on ebay. I paid $500 for the sled and it ran perfect for the first 250 miles.
#2 2000 700 Powder Special. Runs perfect only had 295 miles when I bought it, and looks brand new. I don't have a lot of snowmobile experience but this thing rips. I weigh 245 and ride at over 10,000 feet. This sled goes 85+ and gets their real quick. I paid $2400 for it.
I am new to your website, I have posted a few questions in the last couple days, concerning my brokedown 580. Most of the people I see in Colorado ride brand new Skidoo long tracks. They tell me Arctic Cat sleds are notorious for having problems, and basically what I bought was junk. Is this true? Or is it like calvin peeing on a dodge or a ford or a chevy. Please tell me I got a smokin deal on a couple of great sleds!
Thanks alot reed
