Well, option #1 won. (see what I did there?) I am now the proud owner of a pristine 2015 700-4.
The 2017 deluxe was pretty banged up and the owner could not really explain why as he was not the original owner. He had no service records or knowledge.
The 2015 literally looks like it just came off the showroom. I will most likely add power steering in the near future. it runs and drives great. The trailer is in great shape and fit the UTV with just enough room with a mounted toolbox at the front. Everything was as described for $10,000 total. I will post a pic or two later.
Congratulations sounds like you made the best choice
