I have an 08 Outlander 800 and absolutely love it. The power is ridiculously fun and I haven't encountered anything I couldn't get through.

 

I have a buddy that has an 08 Outty 800, beats it like a mule, snorkels, etc. no problems.

 

Early ones has CVT leaking issues, water pump weep hole issues and rad swelling issues. A lot were under warranty and they cleared the issues up by 08.

 

I had an '06 650XT, the only problems I had was a bad 2nd-ary clutch @ 500 miles, faulty winch switch, and voltage regulator. (all replaced under warranty) My CVT never leaked, and no raditor swelling. BUT even though it was a only a 650, it used all the same parts as an 800 besides the cylinders. (over simplification) On a plus side, the older 800's do not have the computer controlled govenor, and they are faster then the newer 800 models.

 

4800 is a little much for a 06. Get the vin and ask a dealer to run it. They will be able to tell you what up dates and service that has been done at any dealer. Depending on what they did with the machine and how it was maintained 1800 mile can be a lot. Check the a arm bushings,trailing arms for slop, the amount of slop in the drive train, grease fittings to see if they grease it. Look at the rad to see if it has swelled

 

I have a 06 800 did timing chains and that is all . Has just over 10,000 kms on it I like it will more then likely never sell it. I will be doing frame mod soon as a precaution.

 

I have an '06 800 and 4800 is a little low Where can you get this kind of excitement for that money.
