QUICK...should I buy this M7?

[PowderBrad]

OK Guys, I've been wanting an M7 for awhile. Cant find any that are relatively cheap in this area. I have a link:

http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-RVs-trailers-2005-Arctic-Cat-M7-W0QQAdIdZ45445318

Mileage is higher than I'd like, is it a decent sounding deal (keep in mind everyone else selling M7's wants $7800+). I dont want teh engine grenading at 3000KM's either which is what I'm wary of.

Guy says he wants to sell for $6000 quick and I've been talking with him. Of course, I would let it warm, ride it a little, rev it, check suspension, check plugs, oils, liquid levels and such before buying.


Guy says:
It runs awsome, I bought sled off of friend who bought it new. Sold it to when he bought his M8. Went through Dealer inspection last spring at C&C Cycle before I bought it. It had clutch's done at around 1700km and the track flipped which helps on the Attack 20 track. I put new slides on it at around 2000Km, For Mods it has a D&D Y-pipe and light weight Can, V-force 3 Reeds and a High flow air cone. It is set up for 6000'-9000' beacause I do most of my rideing in the mountains(which is stock setting on the M7) The only thing wrong with it is has small crack in hood . Selling beacause Im buying New M1000

Sound like a decent deal at all? M8's are going for lik $9500 around here (07 and 08's!!)

Thanks Guys!!

It looks like a nice sled, but i would start a lil lower then $6000. I mean the sled is a 2005(carb or efi?) and it has an Attack 20! Those tracks are garbage(you would want to replace it!) 1200mi is getting close to rebuilding the shocks( IMO you should do it every 1000mi)! But non the less i would not pay over $5500! I just bought a M8 in the box with 2 year warrenty and a can for $7500! if you have any other questions you can pm me!

4500-5500

Out here in utah there goin for 4500-5500 for 1000-2000 miles. That track is awesome if you are a powder rider. If your a trail cruiser then there are better options. Pm me with questions about how to fix the attack 20. Once youve straightened the paddle there isnt a better track.

Just wait and relax I had a buddy lived in Edmonton and got a 2006 EFI delivered to Edmonton for 5600 CAD with 2000 miles good shape

 

[ARICH]

There is definitley better deals out there, just keep looking

 

[lakekachess]

I got mine season after it was sled of the year for $5600 with 100 miles. I'd check with some dealers and see if they have any new ones left over limited 162s are pretty nice. I don't think you will like the attack flipped around when going down hill. Great sled though you cant go wrong with the m7s. Also see what can is on it, some do not work well with efi if it is efi.

Why don't just drive to the states man? Those prices are ridiculous. Shoot, i'll sell you the monster in my sig for $7000 (the 900, not the 1000)!

 

[squarehead55]

At the most it's worth 5,000 at the very most, 4,500 more like it! 4,200 on a friday afternoon

 

[SLEDIOT]

If ur worried about the mileage start with swappin out the piston's and rings, makes a big dif...........

 

[spook222]

I agree with these guys, that's way too much for that sled

 

[shadow conspiracy]

my brother has a 2006 m7 for sale in B.C.
It has a CR racing tunnel. A set of D&D twins, a set of slp twins, stock pipe, thing can, boondocker box, union bay 900 kit, attitude box, New challanger track, fox floats, sno pro air box, simmons skis. It has the 700 top end on it now with brand new rings in it. Runs awesome. Looks awesomer. Hed probably let it go for around 7500

Now that's a good price!!!! A compression check and then write ya a check.............any air intake mods? Is everything melted under the hood from the jaws pipes?

 

[Blk88GT]

Go south. I paid 5400 for an 05 M7 with 1000 miles, Boss Seat, SLP ceramic twins, Boondocker, SLP intake, spare D+D can, and all the stock parts for $5400 and that was in January.

Now that's a good price!!!! A compression check and then write ya a check.............any air intake mods? Is everything melted under the hood from the jaws pipes?

yes forgot to mention it has the d&d snopro cold air intake kit, and no nothing has melted the only thing that my pipes are close to is my fueo injector connectors and wires but i made a fire blankekt to sit between them and the pipes, has worked good all winter and i did a compresson check in febuary and it was up to par in both cyllenders

 

[mtnclimber]

Sounds high to me. I would pay over $5000....In American dollars that is.

 

[SLEDIOT]

There's a limit to "blue book" value, a sled in that good a shape, low miles with all the mods is worth that price!! Just because it's officially 3 years old does'nt make it free!!!!!! What would you pay for a mint 69 camaro or mustang? Oh wait it's almost 40 yrs old!!! Should be able to pick it up at a garage sale for $500 right?

 

[Bowslayer]

A little high...

I bought one this year with camo extreme, HPS can, and some other goodies. 900 miles 5000. Offer him what you feel is fair, then you will be happy. John
