Welcome eastcoastskiier-
After looking at the specs for the Yukon, I think it’s a pretty good deal at $550…especially if it’s a 2009 like you have in the link. At first when you mentioned trying to stick around 700-800, I was going to recommend a GF Marlin, which is what I ride. I bought it for around 750 & later put BB7 disc brakes on it. I don’t know what type of terrain you plan on riding, but I don’t think there’s anything on the Yukon that you’d HAVE to upgrade right away (besides maybe the pedals). Good luck!
