Sold a 1999 Polaris sportsman 335 two yrs. back. Am shopping for a used ATV and leaning for a Honda or Yamaha. Will be used for riding two tracks in the woods. Craigslist has a 2008 Honda Rancher 420, 1200 miles, clean for $3950. Your advice and opinions please.

If I were to purchase something of that age/mileage, then I would be prepared to give it a deep service treatment, i.e., valve adjustment, oil change (engine/differentials), air filter, spark plug, inspect the tires/battery/brakes. With all that said, you will spend a few hundred to dollars depending on what all you need to do, so at that price point, I would consider a new one ~5K, assuming the extra 1K will work for you.
