I definitely would not go through with that deal. no matter how trustworthy the seller may seem. It seems kind of odd the seller (especially if they are an individual) would go through the hassle of shipping it.

How did you come across the UTV?

Never ever buy a UTV or Bike or anything requiring shipping over the internet. If you can't put your hands on it and test ride, don't pay out any funds. No one is honest like you are!

I would not do it unless its through a dealership. Tell them you will go through a proxy, local business/dealership and see if they want to continue the deal and provide a time to go see it in person. You can try contacting a local powersports dealer or auto dealer to see if they'll check it out for a fee. Just an idea.

Turns out it was a scam.   It's too bad that someone from this site sent me to the info to contact his friend.   Googled the friends email and bam!   Scam central.   I hate people like that.   Thank you for your info and knowledge

      I have been searching and can't find much info on these units. Pretty surprising as every other thing I own I find a lot of info on. Researching for tech info and such it's like no one owns any of these yet I see them everywhere.

      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      If you’ve been looking for a chance to score a brand-new UTV, Polaris just launched one of the most unique giveaways we’ve seen in years.
      To celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary, Polaris has announced its Celebrate American Heroes Giveaway, offering one lucky winner a custom-built Polaris RANGER CREW XD 1500 NorthStar 1776 Edition along with an all-expenses-paid trip to Nashville, Tennessee.
