Take this with a grain of salt since I've never owned one: I'd pay more for an EDGE RMK, but that doesn't mean the 900 is worthless. It's a capable sled, but heavy, and potentially a pile of trouble. Do your research, and don't pay big money for one no matter how perfect it is. Also, newer, more capable chassis (starting with the Pro ride, but pretty much everything by the mid-teens) are going to be better to ride, especially if you're looking to get into technical riding. If everything checks out and it's in great shape, I could see spending $2500, but probably no more. The value is marginal unless you can be sure you're not buying someone else's problems, but with the right fixes, they can last quite a while and be plenty of fun. Definitely dig through this forum before you put any money down; it could be a great deal if it's been taken care of and it'll fit your type of riding, or it could be a broke POS. Just one of Polaris's more "special" children...
