2005 Polaris 700 XC Thoughts??

Hi everyone,
Currently looking at a 2005 polaris 700 XC with 3300 miles on it. What is everyones opinion of this sled. Its looks to be in great shape and was taken in for servicing every year to the dealer. Thougts?

Good chassis and reliable motor. I recently got an 05 XC SP 500. Driveshaft bolts are the only problems with these, otherwise fairly reliable. If it's a good price and in good shape, go for it.

I had a 2000 700 xcsp, 2003 700 RMK and a 2006 700 RMK all good sleds. The first 2 really liked the gas, but could of been because the way I rode them. The 03 did need a drive bearing at 2300 miles. changed out VES blades and bellows at 7700 miles and water pump impellar at 7900 miles. the 2000 and 2006 no issues.

2004 xcsp700, amsoil intercepter, great maintanance every year, just turned 13,000 miles last weak. The only major issue was that it broke a power valve and took out a piston at 7900 miles. Heck even when it lunched the power valve I took out the broken pieces and ran it 50 miles to get back home. Great reliable sled.
