Buying Sled

[raap58]

Guy in Colorado has one, google mapped it, it is 15 hours total. What is the best way to know if its a good sled or in good condition, what to ask for pictures?

Get pictures of everything, maybe a video to hear it running. Sometimes it's hard to tell if the front end has been tweeked from pictures. Hope the guy is straight up and honest about what he is selling. Pictures showing pistons wouldn't hurt, but, how would you know if crank shaft is pooched.

I just did the same thing a couple weeks ago. Made a deal on an impulse nytro in Montana. Sled was low km, pictures looked good, he seemed straight up. So we will see, I'm headed down to pick it up in a couple days.

Get him to take it to a dealer to have it checked over and hope he's not really close friends with the owners lol! Get a pic of the VIN so you can check it on CPIC and through a bank for liens.

Pics/Vid of a compression test would be a good idea.
