Hi all, I've been lurking here for a little while as I am planning to buy a Polaris 4 wheeler soon. I am looking at a 2013 850 Touring for sale to start what will end up with me buying two bikes.
I spoke briefly to the owner on the phone and based on that initial call have a couple questions. It was a bit of an odd situation. The bike was a factory demo where they compare different brands of wheelers against their own brand but the other brands are driven only by the sales people at slow speed not the customers. The customers only get to drive the factory's own brand.
First, he mentioned that the plastic isn't painted but is just standad plastics. I thought 850's were always painted plastic...am I mistaken?
Next, is the 850 a Sportsman and an XP? I thought they are different animals?
Next, it seems it was rolled over or at least landed upside down at a slow speed by one of the sales people or so I understand.
The light pod is pretty scratched up but that is all I can see given the pictures are not good. Assuming it was actually rolled at a slow speed, what do you suggest I should be concerned with unseen damage wise?
The machine has low miles and low hours but looks to have a good amount of light scratches near as I could tell given it was really dirty.
Has the 2014 model year of this changed from the 2013 model?
Also is EPS standard...I don's see an eps decal?
I can deal with some scratches but don't know what else might have gotten damaged.
Thanks all
