P500 About to put my name on a P520

[Fatsquatch]

no reason other than 11k miles-maybe its just cause?

I can appreciate that. You’ve got plenty of experience on one. The used market is likely there for your current machine. Of course your going to likely pay MSRP on the new one right now too. Rock it out sir whichever way you go. Look forward to seeing pics.

Remember red is the fastest color.

I like that reason!

I really like the size of the 500! Going to trade my P5 in in the spring. My only complaint is the rear diff noise-even after 11000 miles it is still noisy. Can someone justify the cost difference between a 21 P5 and the new 520? Was disappointed that it is a 500 with a pickup bed> I cant believe the 520 will have a significant power difference to warrant the cost factor. I welcome your comments but I think I will buy a new 500......hard to beat this little beast..

I think I'd go with the 520 just because in 2 years no one will want a 500, it'll be old school by then, killing its resale value. IMHO

Or people will say “They don’t make them like they used to”. I like my box, but also like the flat rack to swap configurations if needed.

my wife and I cant express the confidence we have in the p5. as for repair one axle boot and a new boot on the rear prop shaft joint. it has always been serviced at 500 miles with OEM product. we were hoping the 520 would offer a DELUX model but....it appears to be the same with a box-I cant believe the 520 will be an obvious power upgrade. we will see what spring brings

welcome from west central fl.

Hi Nature 1, The dealer told me he had no idea when the 520 will be here so I getting the 2021 Base Pioneer 700

 

[Moptop]

mop top from covington Ga, Put a down payment on a P520 hope it will be here soon. I did set in one that hadn't been picked up and the seats are very firm, and all 4 shocks are adjustable with a shock adjusting wrench that should come with. Next will be a top, mirror and Windshield.
Have ordered H/D 1.6 inch straps to tie it down to my utility trailer.
Getting prepared.

I got tired of the dealer telling me they have no idea when they will get a 520 so I am getting a P700 base model that just come in. The 520 is a hot item.

......I think I'm going to put my name on one of the ones my dealer says will be arriving in January. ........Anyway looking at the 4 available colors I have eliminated camo simply because it comes at a premium, and blue just because for some reason I don't care for it on a UTV......

An update, I stopped at the dealer yesterday (Xmas eve) to check on the 520 and also change my color preference from green to blue. For some reason the brighter colors (red and blue) appeal to me on this little UTV. According to his "allocation sheet" it should arrive January 29.

 

[SILVER_ALERT]

Good move. Brighter people choose brighter colors. 👍

 

[Wiley]

LOL hopefully some of the brightness transfers to the driver!

 

[Splorin]

Not sure if yella has made me any 'marta...

A Guys & Girls I hope your 520's come in soon, but I got tired of waiting so I bought a Standard Pioneer 700 And very happy with it except it does not have a turf mode it will tear up your yard. your wait for the 520 will be worth it.

 

[Wiley]

Mine isn't due til the end of January and unfortunately, like your 700, doesn't have a differential either. And not as much power..... but it'll have 2 more gears!

 

[HWatt-2018]

Welcome from Pennsylvania purchased our P5 and we've had such a great time with it. The little things done everything we've ask it too.

 

[Moptop]

I will differ on the power, and the auto trans is a 3 speed with a torque converter like the chevy turbo Hydramatic which is bullet proof.

 

[Moptop]

So don't cut down on the 700

I still maintain the 500/520 doesn't have as much power as your 700, but if you choose to differ so be it.

 

[Moptop]

Sorry I thought you were telling me different . No Problem, lets all be friends, we all enjoy the same thing. and loving riding in the woods.
