    I would seriously get it. For what I understand they are very cousiony and think about it, its the only trike with an automatic transmission. If it is below $800 I'd get it.

    Price / value depends on what is wrong with it. I have a couple P3's and also have 3 factory shop manuals for them.
    From what I have found:
    The most costly fix is the Tranny
    The most common problem is the Electric Starter. It also is a royal pain in the keester to fix. The machine gets 1/2 tore down just to get the starter out. A true Royal pain, been there fixed that!!

    Keep in mind parts may not be as easy to find or as cheap as other trikes.

    This is for darn sure. The rear brake cable is $65 or so from Polaris ( I can't find a aftermarket one either ).
    My 2nd P3 has been waiting on a affordable Tranny, headlight and a few other parts. I am also waiting for a package from Germany with swing arm bushings. All my P3's need them and my Good Friend in Germany hasn't told me if he is going to make the replacements yet ( Polaris Discontinued them ). The good news is he has a complete set of new ones to copy from ( thanks to me ).

    No way is it worth a Grand. I would say it's worth $150 and $450. It all depends on: if the Tranny is good, If it runs, If the electric starter works, ect.

    I have 3 of these machines and The most I have given for one was $500 and it came with a bunch of goodies and was delivered to me ( 135 miles one way ). I don't have pictures of my 2nd or 3rd P3, but here is the first one in the condition I got it. I did some trading with Jeswinehart for it. I think John gave arouns $250-$300 for it and it was pretty much complete. It ran but needed the electric starter fixed and put back together.




    A Polaris Dealer offered more than I paid for this machine ( right after I got it ). I couldn't and wouldn't sell it because I bought it for my Wife. It's funny because I have put 100's of miles on it, she has only rode it maybe 20-30 miles total. lol But now I have my own and we can ride as a team.

    FYI, I also have the most awesome Triple tree on P3 #1, It was Custom made by my German Friend.

    I'm not particularly wanting to sell my extra set of rear tires and wheels. But money does talk ( mine always tells me "Good Bye!" lmao).
