My wife finally said YES I can have it !!!

[oldfarmerboy]

Ya Hooo !!!! :yes::yes: She finally has given me the OK.:clap::clap: I,have been lurking here for awhile and wanting a :spyder2: since I seen the first one a couple years ago. So now the hunt is on. So I need some advice I have located a 2010 RTS sm5 with about 18000 miles on it. Did They have any patickler problems with this model? What should I look for and what should I ask the seller?

You should have a dealer run the VIN to see if all of the updates/recalls have been performed. I have the same model and 57,000 miles later I love mine!!

Sounds almost like my previous one but I let it go on 12k (unless the tested it for 6000 miles :roflblack. But mine was a great machine, I am almost certain you should have no issues, but deal with it as a used car:

1) Who is the seller, private or a dealer? If private, grab the VIN and take it to a BRP dealer you feel confident with and they can see the history. If it is a past owner trying to sell, see if he has a maintenance record on it (oil changes, mods, warranty work, etc). If it is a BRP dealer, they should have all that.

2) Does it have the extended warranty? It is transfarable so that should be a pro on your side. The max a new one could get is up to 5 years so you might be looking to a 2-3 year warranty left AGAIN if the previous owner purchased it when new.

Good luck!!

Congratulations on the hunt. The 2010 RTS is a good one. I have a premier edition #474 with 29,000 miles and it will continue to be my ryde for this season. As suggested above, have the dealer run the VIN and have it checked over if you decide to buy it. You could also check on the SL site if it is used by a known member. They sometimes post good and bad about their particular :ani29:'s.

Let us know what you decide--and add a picture or two. :thumbup:
