First, thank you all for your feedback. It's deeply appreciated.

Based on advice from Rod I called some local dealers. New Honda 700 [which is comparable to the Ranger 570] for $13k. I'll still need to install winch and blade, but could do that this Fall. I'm looking at $4k more for a brand new unit and I have ultimate trust in Honda anything based on my experiences. I've heard Polaris can get a little iffy in their later years, and the Honda would likely outlive me.

Any feedback on this new decision?
