buying phazer

[myvector]

i am thinking of buying a 07 phazer gt with 15000km for my wife she is a novice rider that weighs 130lbs. anything i should look for? are they a good sled?

Read the FAQ section and specifically the updates to the 07 models. If they were all done its a great sled.
I wouldnt trade mine.

Your best off buying an 08 and up. You can read about all the updates but chances are lots have been missed. I bought an 07 last year and I've done a ton of work to bring it up to the updated Phazers and mine had apparently had all the updates done. At 15000 miles expect things like front end components, slopping steering from worn out linkages, idler wheels, drive shaft bearings. Mine only had 6,000 miles and had to do them all.

Good luck and ask for the receipts on the work he's done. If he's owned it since new and has done little to it run for the hills.

I don't know about that, our 07 with 469 miles has had all the updates done including the expired cold start. Only reason ours is for sale is the girlfriend now has a new Viper otherwise she would still be riding it. One thing I would caution though is the original skis (ours is an MTX) made this sled dart to the point of being dangerous, buy aftermarket skis ASAP if it still has stock on it.
