Redfisher Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Anyone have one? I'm pretty sure I will pick one up at the end of this season if I can get a decent deal. They look great, Never driven a rider forward type sled before. Will it be a big difference from my 2002 700 Classic? I like the power of my 700 VES and the M/10 really helps with my back(broke it in auto accident) Any input on this sled would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeXMAN Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Request a test ride http://www.polaris.com/en-ca/snowmobiles/test-ride. They had the test rides up in perry sound a few years back.There is probable one closer to you. That would be the best way to judge for yourself to see if the ride forward is for you. For me ride forward is less stress on my old back.Ride longer days with little back pain at the end of it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledguy74 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The new Indy won't ride as nice as your M10. It can offer a nice ride but not like that M10. The 600 mill is great, EFI works fine. It won't have the pull of the 700 but better on fuel and oil. The riding position is WAY better on the new Indy. You might be happier with the Indy 800 if you like more power. Don't worry about all the comments from those Banana coloured "Cowboys" not all of us want to ride down the trail looking like traffic signs !

Redfisher Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Great info thanks, I may look at the 800 indy as well if the price diff is not a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfisher Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Best price local for the 600 is $8999 out the door. Hope that comes down a bit if they have any left come march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I strongly suggest to shop around different dealers. Some are able to buy non current volumes at a great discounts and you as a consumer save $1000s ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezerBurnt Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Best price local for the 600 is $8999 out the door. Hope that comes down a bit if they have any left come march. by the end of the season OTD will be in $7500range I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah I'm not going to bite yet, $7500 OTD would be a great deal. I was looking on some USA sites and a few people have bought them for $5900 OTD... Wouldn't that be great to get that price here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Dom how he liked his 2004 model! Polaris won't be as good as the new etecs or 4 strokes on fuel! Is the Indy CFi or direct injection (please tell me it isn't carb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfisher Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Pretty sure its direct injection and 125hp and in the mid 400lb mark I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viperules700 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It will be a nice sled then. I still have an 07 Polaris iq in the fleet! Has 8000 trouble free kms on it. Rider forward is great and it is actually easier to steer. Next time I would get a long track, since we already have a 137" doo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTC500 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Hmmm. $9,000 now or $7500. at the end of the season. Why not buy now for $9K & enjoy the sled this season for the extra $1,500 it'll cost you? $1.5K isn't that bad for one years depreciation on a new sled.

Why not buy now for $9K & enjoy the sled this season for the extra $1,500 it'll cost you? $1.5K isn't that bad for one years depreciation on a new sled. Except that in this example it's a new non-current Polaris that's worth $7500, not a used one. If you put a season's use on it, with a couple thousand kilometres, the depreciation will be much higher. I'm not suggesting he shouldn't buy now - just that a used sled is worth far less than an un-used non-current one. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some brands and models tend to hold their value better then others. It is all supply and demand based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
