Has a plow so cool. Young guy is desperate ,,broke and this was the only thing he has that was payed off. Needed $6000 to get his finances in order. Oh well,,,he's my step son and it's better than just giving it too him,,, at least I feel I made him sacrifice something. It's in pretty good shape for the mileage,,,probably turn into a money pit so may just use it to plow. To answer your question, no. But, also, you didn’t really just “overpay” either. You were giving a bit to charity to help somebody out. That’s worth something….sometimes worth more than the tangible product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I've overpaid twice, on purpose, to get what I wanted. As long as your not going in blind throwing money around. If you overpaid and the wheeler is a POS then I guess you're kind of fucked, but you know it's maintenance history which is critical on any power sports. You're doing the right thing. I gave my daughter a Honda Civic for free when her Camry blew up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pay a premium for my last race sled but, I got all kinds of perks with it so, I think it was worth it. Plus, I don’t buy clapped out garbage.

Says 50 in the book I know of 2 gates you would not get 52 thrugh . With my 50 the flares are 52 and they are bent over getting thrugh . I'd be sort of pissed if I bought it and did not know and found my self fucked at a gate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why the 50" measures 52" is Polaris measures width from the face of the wheels. The state of MN measures width from the outside of the tires.
