You may tell us if it is a Rubicon, 450 or 450es.
All great working quads that should run to 20,000 miles if taken care of. But....my 2002 Foreman 450 dropped an exhaust valve seal at 6400 miles and it was $900 to fix with a new head, etc. Freaky deal but the rest of the motor looked like new inside and I plan to run it for years. Just turned over 8,000 miles this summer.
I have dealers tell me that that "darn odometer" makes it harder to sell used quads. Think how many Honda 300s had been through multiple sets of tires and have huge miles on them but nobody was counting......
If you buy it, and it sounds like a good, fair deal if it is clean, check the left rear wheel bearing as they can be a maintianence item.
ONE THING TO LOOK FOR: If it has been ridden by kids or adults who like to go "muddin" and play "submarine", run away very fast!!!! It never hurts to take along a 17mm wrench and look in the front and rear differentials for good clean oil and not muddy, milky oil. Stick a wire or your finger down it them.
