Watch the subframes, probly bent, I would look for a 09+ cause it has the new front end geometry and stronger subframe, however the 10' and 11' got an even strong subframe.

I would agree- unless it's a killer deal and you don't mind doing a few mods to get it handling right, avoid the 08's. I understand that the 10's and 11's have a stronger front end, but I have an '09 that I've beat the piss out of (on my third year now) and still haven't managed to bend the front subframe and that includes smacking a tree with the right a-arms. I understand that there have been quite a few people on here who have tweaked a subframe, but remember that as big as this forum is, it still only represents a small number of the total sleds out there. With that being said- make sure if you do buy an '08, take a tape measure with you and measure from a couple points on the spindle back to a fixed point on the chassis and compare side to side- this will at least give you a rough idea if the frame is already bent or not. An 1/8" isn't much for concern, but if you start seeing 3/8" or greater difference side to side, you probably have a tweaked front end. While this isn't the end of the world, it will further contribute to poor handling and can be a handful to install a new one. The steering geometry in the newer sleds is certainly a big consideration though.

If it has reverse you might want to check the chaincase for the broken bolt issue.
