100% - case in point, when I sold by last sled, dealer offered half of what I sold private for, he even suggested that route....sold in one day if I recall, but that was also with the silly covid clause in play.
Seasons change, it all plays a role for sure.
1005 - and the good dealers are usually just honest with you - they know what they have already - what else is coming in - and what they think they can realistically move.
Having a good relationship with your dealer is important in a lot of ways.
Running around all over the province to make a deal and save $300.00 doesn't always pan out in the long run.

It really is a win win, if it’s a fair offer…..with less hassles and headaches, if that is worth it to you to have less hassles in life….
you save the decreased amount offered in taxes you save on new vehicle that you wouldn’t see on private sale.
dealer makes that money as profit when they sell based on market value that keeps the wheel greased.
rinse and repeat….Yes, if you have a good trade and a good dealer who can give you fair dollar because they are able to move it - it usually makes sense for me to trade.
I have never lost anything by trading - but have also done okay by selling private.
I take it one unit at a time and see where things are at and how my own time is looking, do the math, and make the decision.

27 not a bad deal I take that. 1k is 1k. That's at least a week of work for most people.
Your time isn’t free, all the waiting around, showing, haggling etc etc, at a point, the wasted time and effort isn’t worth having it gone and moving on.

Sometimes people forget to do the simple math and work the 2 options out.

I sold an 8 foot box popup last summer that weighed in at just over 1000 dry.
A guy working in BC sent his father from elliot lake to owen sound for pick it up. From the time I posted it till he got here I had well over 100 replies. It was insane.
I listed one of my boats yesterday and it was sold in ten minutes by a fella from parry sound. Didnt want a water test, didnt want to see it run on muffs. Just pulled the cover off threw it in the truck and left. I guess folks are willing to travel for a good deal. I dont like sitting on things I'm selling, just want em gone.
Sold my sons last dirt bike in 3 days too -priced it fair - took $200.00 less - wanted it gone.
guy showed up - looked at it - started it up - said we're good.
That was it

Applies to sleds too - add in that the activity is 100% weather dependent............
Big time market correction on the way.

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.
Well, its un-realistic to think people need new sleds every year - and given the last few winters - even every few - and 1st time buyers I bet you could count on one hand - so that doesn't surprise me at all.

Snow BIG wet flakes in sudbury
I was there a week and a half ago and could not believe how little snow there was.
Arctic Cat had a tent and all new sleds set-up at the Jolly Roger and were riding around there a little bit.
hit north of there and there was zero snow.
Oh, and what a weird experience I had at JD"s Smokehouse lol
-
The dealers can't afford to take a non stop bath - esp. when the manu's force units down their throats.
The manu's need to step in and assist or there will be NO dealer network to peddle their stuff anymore.
Banks will not finance these dealers forever either.
The bubble is about to burst.
Affordability along with a horrible winter is likely what the sport needed to be honest

If you're realistic on the value - it will sell - you can buy.

Went by Mount St. Louis/Moonstone on Sunday - sure looked like the hills had plenty of white on them for skiing
-
F-all snow between Parry Sound and Sudbury.
-
Looking like some of the best conditions are after it was assumed everything was done!
Hope some of you get out there and get some.

They are ok tire. Many better choices out there now? Light truck tires are better suited to trucks.
They were better than okay for us.
Rode well, quiet, good grip and wear was excellent, always over 100k on them.
are there better tires? Of course there are, just like there are better vehicles than the ones I was driving with them too.

Snows are coming off next week for me. We have more hours on the bike this week than the sleds all winter.

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.

Would normally be sledding all over the lake - stakes would be in etc.:
It's gonzo

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?
100%, see my post re:new dirt bike.
