On a used sled, the engine is of course the most important part--evidence of abuse, modification, or neglect is a good reason to look elsewhere. The track is another important item--they're not all that expensive or difficult to replace, but if they fail they can take out other components with them, such as the radiator, which on many sleds is located just above the track in the tunnel. A studded track, while nice for traction and braking, plays merry heck with the track, particularly if the studs are long or there are a lot of them.
