Jack it up and wiggle the tires. They kill some hubs.

No down payment, 60 days same as cash, and a max APR of 40%.

Definitely Jack it up and see how much slack is in everything! A arms wheel bearings ball joints tie rod ends! How much play is in the trans shifter ( how much slack the actual arm on the trans has does it go all the way in park and low)

He isn't going to find much for 8k. Maybe an 08 or 09 RZR 800. Check ebay to see what they bring. You want an S or an XP.

I've got this for sale.

The 30 inch tires make it do well in bigger rocks. I've had an 800, S, XP, this S and now a 4 seater. This one is almost new.

Whats the difference between the rzr 800 and an S?

Longer A-Arms (which means longer axles also) and different coil overs.

Look around and you can find some deals. Snagged my beat up 800 for $4200.

As others have mentioned, hubs and cvs. Listen for clicking and binding.

Bout to be some $11,000 XP's with under 1000 miles.
We see where it goes from here. Seems there is a basement on price that they seldom go below. For 8 grand you can almost find a decent 11 S with lots of miles. If it were me, I'd pay what it took to get an 11 if it will ever get wheeled. Better diffs. 10's at least have bigger hubs so you don't break all the time.
