Question for you 700 peeps. My dad and his wife are going to look at a 14 700. Not sure if miles yet. Anything to look for when they go check it out? Thanks

Just the normal stuff you'd look for. Signs of abuse, swamping, etc...

These are pretty tough machine's. Test drive and make sure it shifts ok ( if it's real cold you may need to let it warm up a bit before or the tranny slips...this is a normal behaviour). The rear diff is loud in these and will sound like a bad pinion bearing and clank and pop a bit. Don't let it put you off.

I hate to say this but must be honest. Mine ate it's camshaft at 675 miles or so. The dealer I went to was very helpful and familiar with this problem. They had all of the parts sitting there waiting for the next one (me) to come calling. $800 some odd dollars for repair. The mechanic said it was an issue with the wheelers, Rincon I think, and Big Red MUV that all used the same cam/engine. He also stated it seemed to be more common with farm use and alot of starting and stopping. Honda was no help and we battled for weeks with them until finally we got a check from the dealer with a brief statement saying that it was to cover the labor. Around $250 if I remember correctly.

Many of them were fine and someone has mentioned bad heat treating on a certain batch of cams. They told me the new cam that went in had an updated part number that matched the 2015's.

The rear end is noisy on my 500 also clanking and whatnot. Owner said that it was used to check cows. 7500 miles on it.

Don't see the miles ??? but from those tires Im betting 1200 at least.
full hard cab has no damage but no drivers door.
That cab is exspensive,Glass windshield and wiper.I see A lot of rocker switches and a large winch...But no hook!!
front bumper has some dents....And judging from the steering ball it may have power steering...need more info to give a good Price

7500 miles on it. Owner has the doors for it, just not shown in the pictures. Not sure whats up with the winch, but he said that there are new tires on the front and he's willing to throw on some new rear ones. I think they are gonna go check it out in person and make a decision on what to do.

7500 miles is up there even with all that extra stuff.. they want too much...JMO...
Now I'm not sayin it's junk... just saying I wouldn't buy it unless it were 7800 ish....10 grand is what it was New for a P2.... the accessorys are nice but 10 grand with 7500 miles is too much

Agree. Too much for 8000 miles.

@Farmer hits upon one of the few sore spot's with this engine, but it's very hit or miss.

For the record, mine had 8900 miles when I sold it and it was still going strong.

Yeah, That is new pricing. The cab has a ton of value but it was always my understanding that add ons don't usually add to much to the value of the machine.

Yep, now that we know the actual miles, I think we can rule out early cam failure. LOL!

The dealership only offer 8500 for my 2016 700-4 with 700 miles, Honda rood, 2 piece hard coat windshield, 28x10x14 tires with STI HD6 blue wheels, commander shocks, 2 front and rear cube lights.

$9,900 is to much. I paid $10,200 for my 14 P700 new. Accessories, like the cab/doors are nice but you never get back what you put into a toy/tool when you sell it. Offer $7k and work from there.

I’m gonna agree with everyone here. It’s too high of a price. I’d shoot low. By looking at his other postings, old Wade is liquidating!

 

[DG Rider]

Well...old Wade rides a lot. Also has a Deluxe 2017 700-2 in that beautiful blue with 1100 miles. $11,800 with some stuff. I think he's closer on that one....but i will point out that I've been priced the same machine new OTD for under $11000 (with no accessories).

Poor Ol Wade, be hatin on Us

I'm with DG, we paid barely over 11g for a '17 700-4 Deluxe (minus accessories) out the door.
If they're looking at used ones in that 10g asking price range I'd be shopping new and adding accessories from there.

LOL...wonder if he's a member?

Sorry @Wade!

 

[elkguide]

You guys are way to generous. I'd offer in the $6500 range and if they weren't interested, I'd buy new.

Actually, I'd buy new anyways!
