P500 2016 P500 - Too many miles?

2016 Pioneer just popped up in my area.

Facebook Marketplace: 2016 Honda Pioneer 500 - Cars, Trucks & Motorcycles - Anchorage, Alaska

What do ya’ll think? Is that worth a look, or are the miles too high?

I think the miles are fine if it seems to be in good shape and well maintained...BUT...
I paid $6500 for my 2015 about 1 year ago with only 400 miles, and that wasn't a remarkable price.
In AK though....maybe that's what they will bring.

says used for ATV tours yet has a blade attached, the two don't go together. If used for tours speed would be limited as in a group you go slow however given it has a blade it may have been used for maintaining trials for tours. Check it out and see how much wear and tear it has and offer them $5500 if it check out. They can only say no and then you can negotiate from there.

I gotta agree, that’s the first thing I noticed.

"No known issues" is a phrase I avoid

Plus what @KYhillbilly and The PNW Legend pointed out above....

Thanks guys. I heard back from him. He runs a tour company that exposes customers to an “Alaskan Adventure.” Let’s just say that a vehicle with 3,700 miles of water crossings, mud holes, and vacationing tourists on someone else's borrowed (rented) vehicle is a little too much “use” for my blood. May be a good deal for a gear head, but I think I may have to pass on this one.

I think you could get it for 5500-5700, that's $3K plus less than you were quoted for a new one. Are you comfortable doing maintenance/repairs if needed? If so even if it needed a top end or clutch overhaul, probably the 2 major things, you could save a lot of money. These rigs are typically tougher than an anvil and damn near impossible to break unless completely submerged while running, even then they hold up very well. I'd be more concerned about "crash" type damage from being a rental than the plow on the front.
