but not new to RTVs. I purchased my first RTV, a new RTV500 camo, in early 2013. I put just shy of 350hrs trouble free hours on it and just sold it for 87% of the price I paid new (not including insurance). I sold it because I just upgraded to a new RTV-X1140 orange with plastic top, tempered glass windshield, allow wheels, spray-on bed liner, and worksite tires. I was lucky enough to find a dealer about 5hrs away that had one in stock so I made the drive and am glad I did since a price increase sounds likely in the new year. The dealer even gave me $725 discount under MSRP (without me asking) which seems pretty good considering current supply issues.
So far I am really liking the X1140. In comparison to the RTV500, it's obviously a much bigger machine. It rides and drives so much better. The suspension is really impressive in how stable and capable of soaking up bumps it is. So far I've added side mirrors, rearview mirror, and rear cup holders to the new X1140.
I've read a lot of threads on here already, learned a lot, and I look forward to actively participating here!

So glad that you have the RTV you were hoping for. What a great gift for yourself .. and it will keep on giving you loads of good times. and a handy work partner as well.
