I am in the market for a used "UTV". I know little or nothing about them having just looked at a couple at dealers.
I really can't afford a new one. I respect the wisdom and advice of you guys and I know some of you have the experince to direct me since I can not afford to make a mistake, My requirements for one are as follows:

4X4 of course.
Automatic Tranny, Very important
Ability to be made street legal since this will be my primary transport vehcile eventualy and will be trailered behind MH
Offroad Legal in all states
Roll Cage
Bench seating for 2 ,Very important
Windsheild,Top & Door as options as least
Trailer for transport a plus
Color and "Gegaws" unimportant
Having never been abused is

Please advise me if I have failed anything important is this list

My situation is retired and full time RV living based in Morristown,AZ . Going to do the "Reverse Snowbird" thing,I am 73 and have to much "Old Authur" to make the hikes required to the good spots anymore ,Wife has had two knee replacements, one ancle replacement and has recently developed new problems that prevent her from lengthly walking but neither of us is going to let this stop us from nugget shooting, dry washing, rockhounding and traveling the great places of the USA, we just need a little help to get from the MH to a digging spot!

I posted this on Rods & Bills forums but thought maybe someone on here would answer with good info.
I of course would be imterested in any that any of you have for sale or know of for sale but only if backed up by the opinions I receive (ANY??) from the members of this forum.
Thanks
