Avoid 800cc 2 stroke sleds, avoid fan cooled sleds. Arctic Cat's used a drive train called "Diamond Drive" for a while and it's about the worst piece of machinery ever created.
Arctic Cats with Liquid cooled Suzuki motors were generally ok, avoid 90's EFI sleds.
Polaris has historically made a very reliable 600 and 700cc 2 stroke, look for a 2006-2010 "IQ chassis" sled for a bullet proof unit. Avoid anything labeled "Dragon." Avoid Polaris four stroke and fourstroke turbo sleds, they're awful. DO NOT, FOR ANY REASON, BUY AN 800cc POLARIS BEFORE 2015 OR WITH OVER 3000 MILES.
Ski-Doo builds a very high quality sled, but the fanboys are ridiculous and if you're willing to wrench on your own stuff they're awful. Anything 2003 and newer are pretty nice sleds ("Rev chassis"). Don't ever buy an 800 or 850, their four stroke sleds (1200 GSX, 900 ACE 900 ACE turbo) are very, very well made and handle the weight of a four stroke very well.
Yamaha builds the most reliable sleds on the market but at a few costs. One cost being in actual dollars and cents. You will pay a tax on Yamaha, part because their owners are rabid and meticulous (they'll know every service since the sled was new and exactly what they did and the part numbers that were replaced), part because their sleds are expensive new and they're a very small percentage of the market. Find an old red-head or blue head three cylinder two stroke (SXV, SXR, Viper, Venom, SRX - if you want a real thrill). Yamaha four strokes are incredibly reliable but their chassis are heavy, handle like boats. Historically they will burn through hyfax quickly but the motor, chassis, and driveline will last 10's of thousands of miles. Vectors are cruisers, Apex is a missile, Nitros are tanks that'll take any abuse you'll throw at them, SRVipers are beautiful handling sleds with honest power and Sidewinders will get you killed if you're not ready for a 200hp weapon.
