I found 2 sleds to look at. One is an 04 switchback 700 with 300 miles for about $4300 and the other is an 06 fusion 600 with 1800 milesfor $4000.I really want the switchback, but i could 136 the fusion for about the same price. Are there any issues to look for on the switchback?

Personally I would go for the Fusion and for like 500$ you can stretch it to 136" with the tracks USA tunnel, rail and track package. The Fusion is a fantastic sled-
Doesn't have the punch of a big block 700, but the ride is much better. I was going to stretch my Fuse, but ending up picking up a 06 600HO Switchy this spring for crazy deal. I am just wondering now how well the 144 tipped up rails will be on trails as this is the majority of our riding. Still have the fuse, and if I don't sell it this fall, I might still stretch it.

I had an '04 700 Switchback and I loved it. I put about 7000 miles on it. Never had any problems with it.
The tipped up rails work great on the trails, and off trail it is awesome.
On the downside the long track does push some going into the corners and the handelbars are pretty high.
I would highly reccomend the Switchback.
When I got a new sled it was an '07 Switchback.
Good luck, either way you will make a good choice.

A2GTI- I think you might have just answered your original post with your last one.4300 is a pretty good deal if you ask me.... Make sure the updates are done- Gas tank, carb boots, throttle/oil cable, chaincase reinforcement plate... Buy the Switchy....
