A new snowmobile can cost over $10,000, so many people opt to buy a used one for significantly less. Of course, you don’t want to buy a used snowmobile that has too many miles on it. So, what’s considered high mileage on a snowmobile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n A snowmobile that is over 8,000 miles, and especially over 10,000 miles, is considered to be high mileage. Generally, the life expectancy of a snowmobile is around 15,000 miles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This answer itself is a little murky because the number of miles you get out of your snowmobile also depends on how well you maintain your snowmobile and whether you’re willing to replace some parts as they break down. To find the best answers to this question, I went through numerous snowmobile forums and asked some family members who have experience maintaining snowmobiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read on to find out the best tips and tricks to getting the most out of your snowmobile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it will really depend on how well you maintain your snowmobile, you can expect to get between 10,000 and 15,000 miles <\/strong>out of a snowmobile. That being said, if you’re considering buying a used snowmobile, anything that has over 8,000 miles will be considered high mileage.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people claim that 5,000 is considered to be high mileage, and the internet does seem to have 5,000 miles as cut-offs for filters. Although snowmobile enthusiasts say that a snowmobile with 5,000 miles on it can make a fine vehicle, it just depends on the maintenance it needs. Generally, engines (especially 2-stroke engines) need to be replaced around 5,000 miles.<\/strong> So, this may be why 5,000 is so often categorized as high snowmobile mileage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While I was searching for average miles and prices, I noticed that eBay only had filters for “5,000 miles and more,” “Less than 5,000 miles,” “Less than 3,000 miles,” and “Less than 1,000 miles.” So, I used this information to help generate the table below. Additionally, I went to snowmobile forums and SnowmobileTrader.com <\/a>to see what others are saying about mileage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For all snowmobiles (apart from brand and year) you might find this general guideline helpful for classifying mileage:<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat’s Considered High Mileage On a Snowmobile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
