Well After looking around for month and the best bang for buck and reliably,it was a no brainer.
I bought a leftover 2017 500 Camo with 400km Demo.
things that they have to do before handing over to me..
the mechanic of 35yrs there says...
Rear right drive shaft he says or bearing..Already only 400Km.
Replace new front bumper.Big dent one some must have hit a rock seeing it's a demo and was use on the trail...
Squeak in drive shaft or something like that.
they'll investigate a little further.

New Manuals both were soaking wet with mold.

All oil changes break-in done so won't have to go till 1000Km intervals
That it I hope...
The last numbers in the serial 4200028 would this mean number 28 on the production line for 2017 ..

They gave me a 2k$ discount and with out me knowing they gave me a brand new set of 25" rubicon wheels and tire combo as a good will jester cause i put 2K down and he said i can keep the 24"s wheels and tires..
Wow i was impressed that they would do that, but no surprise been dealing with the same dealership since 1999 20 yrs..cars and powersports...
Never did take it out for a test but did back in 2014 when they first came out but already purchase my 420 of 1 year..But reading all the reviews and doing my homework i think or I hope I'll be happy
Any ways can't wait to try it out.....

Congrats and Welcome. If you don’t mind some friendly advice, have them show you actual removal of the battery box cover, and check to make sure the emergency gear shift lever is under the drivers seat. Many have had the battery cover issue with the bolt “nut” spinning from the dealers.

I’m sure a front locker will be handy, changing your stock tires will make a huge improvement to your p5. It’s an underrated machine imo.

And just like that, the floodgates of my wallet opened and I was broke again...lol:D
You got that right.That's the reason why you see it the way it is Plain Jane:D. My first upgrade will be KFI winch and high mount plate..
What best size winch to get you think a 2500 will do or a 3000Lb winch.or does it have to be a 4500lbs ..

Got a super winch 3500 on mine with synthetic line. Used it to pull out @CumminsPusher and a couple of others P1000’s repeatedly out of a Idaho mud bog one night...
