P500 Newbie: good buy?

[Fm67gt]

Looking at a 2015 with just over 100hrs. Comes with Honda hard roof and windshield, winch, full soft cab and doors, plow and back rack. Seems to run like new. 6500.00. Thoughts?

It barely had its break in service done. Plan for a new battery soon but if it doesn’t seem like it was submarined or jumped off a cliff I’d say it is a decent deal.

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me!

Well on second thought, that's WAY too high; best that you give me their contact info. I'll take it from there . . . I'm willing to help you out here.

Welcome to the forum, from another noob.

Welcome from The Great Lakes State.

Sounds like a fair price to me.

Battery does seem a bit tired!
Suggestions on replacement?

Request service records and if everything done according to maintenance schedule I say go for it

 

[HUCK]

If you didn't snap it up you probably missed it .

The average price of a 2016 down here in Fl is $6500 without all the added on stuff youre getting with it, so I would say a 2015 with all that stuff is a fair price.

I agree with the above comments. You are probably not going to find a better price on one, unless it has some problems or a lot of hours.

Check the air filter to see if it's maintained. If people take care of a simple thing like the breather they most likely take care of everything else. If you buy it get rid of those factory tires.

I'd call that a "buy it now" deal

 

[Fm67gt]

Thanks guys!

Yeah the tires suck!
Thinking about the fleabay deal of MSA 14" Core wheels with 27" Swamplites for 800 bucks. Thoughts on those??... I know they are a bazillion threads and opinions on wheel/tire combos.

 

[futzin]

. . . still waiting on that guy's phone number . . . and it needs tires?! Yeah, better let me take it from here . . .

Bought it and love it!
Now let the add-ons begin!
1st stop tires (maybe wheels), glove box, light bars and rear storage box. This things a billygoat for sure!
From reading threads, sounds like rear sway bar should get ziptied too! Any other easy, relatively cheap, and necessary mods?

This glove box is worth the wait IMO. P500 - box 2.0

And if you do in and out chores and if yours has the 14 mph limiter, disable that seat belt speed limiter. Some synthetic oil change in the front and rear differentials is another good one.
