u could go with ur first thought about getting a polaris they are good strong machines but with the old models actually all old model bikes u have to get a lot more info from the seller to make sure ur not buying junk... is their any manufacturer u prefer more over others or info u want to know about curtain manufacturers?

I simply do not have the money to buy brand new... hopefully I can find a dealer that'll do test drives

Do you really need a 4x4? I do everthing you stated above and more on my 250 Ozark. I keep wanting a 4x4. Then I think my Ozark does it so why spend the money.

Right now it seems that a polaris sportsman 500 4x4 is my best bet (or something like that) Hows the quality/reliability on those?

polaris r very reliable machines but wen u buy something used and that old their is a lot of things that could be wrong with it no matter the brand... also did the guy tell u the miles on it?

I havent contacted the seller... by the time Im ready to buy this one may be long gone. I was just asking about reliability in general. I know the obvious things that could be wrong with buying used and I know how to/have experience with buying used... I was asking more generally if they have any problems that are very common/known to happen.. things that the brand is prone to
