Looking at getting a 2007 M8 153" with 1200 miles. Any info. On this year and what would be a fair price? Right now they are asking $4300. Seems a little high for a soon to be 8 year old sled?
Thanks

2007 M8 good deal or not?

I had a lot of fun on my 07 m8. I bought 2 new pro climbs last season but I still have my M8
those miles seems very low
if it's Mint, it's worth $3750. IMO.

They are good sleds, is there anything done to it?

I just picked up an 09 LE sno pro with 1500 miles for $4800. So IMO thats a little high, especially since the 07s had issues with the bulkhead cracking by the heat exchanger. Spend the extra money and get an 09+. Engine reverse, better tunnel, telescoping bars, better skid, powerclaw track etc.

i remember seeing some 07 engines covered in tinfoil.so ill say 3500 max for a super nice one
Hey thanks, I think it is stock. Not sure how to get the price down as it is at the cat dealership...They had it priced originally at $4995!
Pretty dependable machines though and easy to get used to riding?

they are fun to ride.they might come down more if you show them some cashola since dealers are usually way overpriced to start with..

book value is around 3600. Offer them that in cash. If you are really set on this one.
Having a tough time deciding if this sled is a good idea...
Wish I had the funds to buy new, too many kids in college!
2 other questions, what track came standard on thr 07, and is there a bearing upgrade that could or should be done on the diamond drive -that gear system makes me nervous?
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience

I loved my 07 M8. And 08. Problem free and fun. I don't think you'll be disipointed

The challenger track came standard on the 07. The bearing upgrade is more for the 2009+ diamond drives. It's a 5203 double roller bearing. Costs about 20 bucks. I'd get the manual shift lever to the reverse if you decide to get the sled. Then ride it; really not a bad thing about these sleds. Just change the oil in the gearcase annually. Check the oil for signs of shavings and inspect inside if you do. Should be a problem free sled.
Thanks, you guys damn near got me talked into this thing. Now if you guys could convince my wife it's a good deal LOL
I agree.....offer 3600 cash...see what they do....at least it's a starting point.....They are good sleds. I just picked up a second sled, an 07 M1000 for 3950 so you might get a deal at 36...
As far as your better half goes.....we sledders all think you need this sled!.....hope that helps your cause.....

Not seeing much else... Seems like there is more on this sled I probably can't fix my self (gear case and bearings etc.). The wife said that would be good because I get too stressed trying to fix them myself - Lol, maybe she is ok with this one!
Was the reverse a source of problems on the 07? I see a comment to switch to a manual lever?
Thanks again for the input, had so much fun on my first two cats makes me want to try this one.
