Don Coffey Sales tried that about 30 years ago and it put them out of business.

I know and its not my place to say, but they are not as bad as people are saying. I know of several dealers that were down 80-90% from last years #s.

Most of the smart ones know that they are going to give some of that money back over the next couple of years.

I talked to a guy in Sudbury a few mins ago and those prices are legit. $17200 out the door for a Sidewinder.

How is this for a deal? Not sure if this is some type of April Fools joke? https://sudburyyamaha.ca/en/Snowmobile/adid/31183921/2024-Yamaha-SRViper-L-TX-GT-Sudbury-ON/ Waiting for Farmer to say that he might offer them $8K and see if they take it. LOL.

New sleds arent going to be more money in the fall than they are today. Once the manufacturers wipe the tears and/or puke off their desks after seeing Snow Check orders they will have no choice but to heavily rebate non-currents. I was told 2nd hand, but by someone in the Powersports Business that the Polaris dealer in Sudbury has well over 200 new 2023/2024 sleds in stock right now. They will need some serious assistance to get rid of those or they will risk going broke.

Thats not a surprise based on the #s I am hearing that St Onge did. That being said, there were still SRXs available as of last Thursday and they were only building 998 of them.

That sled has been for sale since last fall. The decals are not the correct ones for the machine. My spidey sense is telling me there is a story about that sled.

850s from any brand are a gamble out of warranty. That is why I am looking for a 600R. I have no problem buying a lower mileage one that has no warranty.

Is that Jens old sled? I am not in a huge panic but I am definitely keeping my eyes open for a nice 600X or something comparable for $10K. All my buddies are getting rid of their sleds and I would have ridden more this winter if my dad would have come with me. My mom wont let him buy another sled but he is always up for rip somewhere.

I am keeping my eyes open for a nice 21-23 Skidoo 600 just to have as 2nd sled.

My buddy just bought a really nice 22 Renegade 850 XRS with 4000kms for $10500 privately. I saw the sled - its really nice. I wish I bought it.

Is it still open? I assumed that most ski hills closed down already? It will have snow on it until May and often small patches are still visible into early June.

You guys can all thank me for this snow. If this car stayed in storage it would be +15c and sunny.

Agreed. My sled is washed, polished, fogged and in my trailer for the summer. It will take more than 154kms of yellow trails for me to drive 10hrs north at this point. I am in dirt bike mode at this point as well.

Where are you? We have a water access cottage in Port Severn and according to our neighbour, the lake is wide open as well. Unfortunately the township has cement blocks across the public launches. We still wont go up for at least a month though.

Are you that guy who drives around on black rusty steel rims all year? I cant believe how much nicer (and quieter) my F150 is with the original tires back on. I dont think I am even going to bother putting them on next year.

Snows are off all of our cars as of today. Sled is washed, fogged and in trailer. Summer toy car out of storage and in my driveway. I am officially over winter.

I saw new 2023 Indy 850s for $13995 + freight at the dealer in Timmins a few weeks ago. Why buy a used sled when you can get brand new for that price?

Nope. The “rebate budget” gets moved to ATVs and SXS. The sled business gets put on the back burner by all OEMs over the summer. Truthfully, no one is buying anything at any price today.

The big rebates will be over at the end of March and will re-start again in Sept/Oct according to my BRP Dealer.

Unless you are taking delivery/paying in full for the machine, they want you to order the 25.

Thats all it is worth IMO. G4s are starting to become less desirable now that the G5 has been out for 2 seasons. From today onwards, you need to buy something based on the machine being another year older as you wont be able to use it until next season anyhow. 2022 Backcountry 850 XRS were selling for $14900 back in Nov . That 23 is only worth that next fall. I wouldnt bother tying up the money today unless I was buying something like that for $13K max.

I truly believe that Cochrane will open up again before the end of March.

Cochrane / PBR just announced they are closing effective 5pm today. FFS.
