$500 bucks is a bargain if it is in any kind of shape. I've had mine since new in '96, and still love it. Yes, it is likely worse on fuel than some of the new sleds, but if you are serious about mileage, you should buy a new 4-stroke, or better yet, take up cross-country skiing instead.i juast bought a 1997 ultra 680 for the wife from a buddy of my dads. i payed 500 bucks for it. anybody tell me anything about the ultras, i really dont know much about them[/b]

Only problems I have had were a water pump after about 3 years, which polaris promptly replaced, no hassle, and long after warranty, and trying to run it on diesel once (accident...).
