Way better now to whom? - not sledders!

Road running wouldn’t be so bad if it were not for the winters and now the winter maintenance expectations, they are plowed and sanded now they’re pavement most of the time after one day in the sun.

Weather is the only thing we can't control. Prices will go up as ridership goes down though - there is no way around it.

Already way too hot. Lets go back to winter please

The 80's, 90''s, and early 2000's and now are not even close to an apples to apples comparison - so it sounds good, but it's not reality for what is currently in place.

but, can't they just dive into their 10's of thousands of dollars in savings? anyone under 30 - not living at home - and without inheritance is living cheque to cheque - the math doesn't lie

But all these people buying town homes for 700 k - with 650k mortgages at 7% have savings................:)

People are tearing through their savings because of cost of living. We're not rich - we're not poor- we have seen a distinct obvious difference in our "play" money over the last year and a half. Only going to get worse

Prices aren't falling because people overpaid to begin with and don't want to take the loss now.

Everything I have sold has been through marketplace vs. kijiji. $3,500.00 - $5,000.00

Dealers here in Ontario do it as well.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yup

$2.00 a litre regular gas coming soon. the fire sale will follow in behind that

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/new-rv-sales-down-1.7168266 Applies to sleds too - add in that the activity is 100% weather dependent............ Big time market correction on the way.

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.

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

yup, sit tight - the massive rebates are on their way.

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
