You are considering an incredibly reliable sled that I bought brand new.  It has never been outside except when going down the trail or sitting at a hotel in northern Maine and Quebec.  It has always been hauled in an enclosed trailer.  3100 miles mainly way up north on trails like driving down your local interstate.  The electric start and reverse work like new just like everything else on the sled.  She literally rides, runs and operates like it did in 2002.  Thanks.
