Some things I see when I look at those photos.
Sled being stored on dirt
junk pile - wagon, old tire, etc. next to it
up against an old wire fence
blue tarp which most likely was it's only means of cover
Then I hear about the mileage. All signs that steer me away. Doesn't look clean to me at all. The environment a sled is stored in is usually a sign as to the way it has been treated.

Pretty much nailed it on the head--- Storing a sled outside or on the ground quickly adds age to it....

Well, Everybody cant afford a fancy garage with a cement floor and a fancy snowmobile cover. Id say go take a look at it if you are really interested in it.You cant tell the condition of a sled from pics, ive gone to see sleds that look awesome in the pics and where junk in person and vice versa.It was gone through 2 winters ago, depending on how well he went through it it could be a great sled, How many guys on here have stripped their machines down to barebones and did custom stuff to their sleds? Would you buy one of those sweet sleds for $1800? Even if it was stored on dirt under a tarp beside a tire? Hell I would, so it all comes down to going to see it for yourself. Its funny how people can judge stuff by whats around it instead of what it is thats being purchased. Im a cup half full kinda guy myself, ya go through life thinking the wost of everything, your gonna miss out on alot of things.Zachalyse said:Some things I see when I look at those photos.

If there's now garage, it can still be elevated, cleaned, placed on pallets. Look at the track and suspension (all dirt). Look around. Yard is a pig pen. That has nothing to do with not being able to afford a garage. The sled is "custom painted". Not necessarily the signs of someone who can't afford a cover.
Sure, the sled could be nicer than depicted, but those signs sure wont help the sale. That sled has been for sale for a long time now and I'm willing to bet my reasoning has a lot to do with it not selling. If you went to see this sled vs. an exact condition sled that was cleaned and neatly stored in the back yard, which one would you buy. Bet anything it would be the one that at least appeared to be better taken care of.
