If your 200M is really in 'great shape' (other than the engine), you may be able to sell it for more than you think.
Presuming that happens, I'd suggest taking that money and putting it down on a new TRX250 (Recon), and making payments, or if you have enough stashed back; paying cash.

They are excellent quads at a very low price. The biggest drawback is they still use drum brakes, but the front are hydraulic, so it's a very light lever pull to stop. The highlights are the power, which will be noticeably more than your 200M has. The low maintenance shaft drive. Full suspension, and it's very, very smooth. Reverse. Large front and rear racks, with a trunk under the rear rack. Automatic camchain tensioner and a pushrod valvetrain (still manual valve lash adjustment). For a few hundred $ more, the ES (electric shift) model is available.
They don't have a very robust charging system for adding other accessories, but it's just as good as the 200M, and probably a smidge better.
I'd say it has a warranty, but it isn't much, and if your nearest dealer is far away, that's not really a plus. I don't think you'd ever need it though.
A friend of mine bought a couple of these new, and they have plenty of power, ride smooth, and are incredibly low maintenance. Very underrated for the price. I don't think the drum brakes will ever be an issuer for the use you describe, and they're much more powerful than what the 200M has.
I think they're also available in three colors currently. Personally, I like the olive color.
Edit: Looks like beige replaced olive.
