I bought my 500 from Lowes. Just couldn't justify the price of others for the little use I got it for. It was only $7999 this time last year but have gone up $1000 since then. Had too adjust the shift linkage and tighten exhaust manifold but other than that no problems. Have a service dealer 30 miles away and will have the valves adjusted there. Easier to shift after the first oil change. Seems like break in oil was much thicker. Maybe just my imagination. I keep it on a trickle charger all the time and it starts and runs great. Good luck if you decide to buy. 700 wasn't available at my Lowes or I would have got that. I also bought a plow for it and it performs great.
