Black Dog Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I don't know what the 'usual places' are for you but kijiji and Autotrader are mine. Then try the members and classified section on totallyamaha.com- I know a member that goes by 'Sevey' who has a Nytro and could probably answer any questions you have. I also use Google to find sleds at various marinas or dealers that don't advertise elsewhere. Edit: Did you see the one in Ontario Conditions classified for $4500?

skidooboy Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 luc, not brand bashing as you know I have owned them all including the Yamaha nytro's... DO NOT BUY HER A NYTRO. it has a very high center of gravity, the older units you will be looking at will not make her a happy rider (suspension geometry issues, darting, super small fuel tank 7 us gallons). if you want her to enjoy this, and get into it as much as you and I like it... let her ride several peoples sleds, go south and rent some for a day, go to demo days ect... let her choose what she likes, not what you want, and she will be hooked like us, and chomping at the bit, to want to ride. DONT BUY A NYTRO. Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I wasn't sure about the reasons for the Nytro but I have heard many of the same complaints, but guys who ride aggressively and set them up right love them too. If it is the 4 stroke you want then a Vector might be a better choice and for $8k or $9k you might find her one with power steering and that will score you some brownie points.

Nunz Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Luc, Here is something I saw at the Polaris dealer in Kearney. http://www.rickwards.com/2007-yamaha-phazer-fx-inventory.htm?id=927405&in-stock=1 Not sure if this what you are looking for or not but it's priced well and has low kms.

Looking at a Ski-doo MXZ 600HO Etec...... not sure what I want might end up buying a brand new MXZ 600 carbed man sled dealers are bad to not awnser emails or send you the requested info..... I was a Ford salesman and never I would do stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a used car dealership group, he loves sleds and buys and sells them as sort of a hobby on the side, he likes to try all the brands and keep a few kicking around.

Pstn head Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Get a vector, there's a few for sale at Dewilt marine in inissfill, also gbay Yamaha in midland has a few, and then u can also try parkway Yamaha in collingwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Or I've heard some people compare Snowtrackers to having power-steering but no first hand experience. If it's true then you could look for an older Vector and get closer to your price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
