chez-nous cest skidoo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm considering placing a s order for a new Skidoo. FYI I havent contacted any dealers or registered online as of yet, i figured id gather some intel from anyone who has placed a spring order, ive read over the "spring fever " promotions. Ive read BRP is offering 0% financing for 3 years,... question is on a total cost of 18k at BRP's regular interest rate of 4.99%, that would be about $1420 worth of interest, if you pay for the sled outright could you expect a cash discount equal to the interest amount, or is the price listed the price ? whats your opinions please cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a sled in November and received a 1000 off the top, plus all the promotions. The financing is coming from Brp, so you should be able to get it along with a cash discount and all other promotions. Let us know how you make out.

FIRE242 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I don't think there is any set amount of discount for paying up front in cash from BRP for a spring order sled. Best thing to do is get as many prices as you can from different dealers because you'll be surprised how different they can be. Hope this helps.

wrightonalan Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think you get the financing or if you pay up front you get a 4 year warranty.If your looking for a none spring order sled a 2017 can be found for a great price.What sled are you thinking of.The 1200 in xs platform is a awesome sled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barberch Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I looked at extras too. The prices in your area (same as mine) will be pretty close, but I bought from the dealer that gave me a good deal on accessories. One of them would not give me even 10% off, ( whereas another gave me 20% and put them all on for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Oh Buoy Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Question for you renegade experts ; is there anything better for running unplowed deep powder logging roads than a renegade backcountry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might consider a Renegade Adrenaline instead of the BC, if you like a stable platform... The BC has the XM platform with the flex-edge track and T-motion, very tippy when used as a flatlander. If you're aggressive and like a challenge, and do mostly off-trail, the BackCountry is great. I wouldn't touch one myself, I prefer the wide stable manners of the Adrenaline.

Heated seat, air suspension. Don't know if I'd buy one to ditch-bang or ride the boonies, you could I suppose ... It's more a 1-up luxury touring sled, than a ditchbang ... the air ride might have its place in the deep snow ... never heard of anyone riding a GSX much off-trail, unless they blew a corner .... lol !

jrhz06 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'd think the 850 would be better in the powder than the 1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1200 with 1.5" track and Pilot 6.9 skis is a pretty impressive tool ... not something you'll want for climbing mountains, but those skis are awesome. They just don't sink in, float right up on surface. I have them on my old bologne-slicer 670, HUGE off-trail improvement. If you don't stop&go in deep stuff too often, they'll do fine. Moving slowly at belt engagement speed is enough to get floating on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Oh Buoy Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As with chez-nous who started this thread ( sorry for the hijack chez-nous) my original search was for an older sled for ice fishing, trapping, the girlfriend to get her off my sled, and for running powder on logging roads ; a 600 renegade came to mind, but damn I think I've got "spring fever ". So is the Summit a narrower stance and possibly too tippy as with the backcountry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yes it's narrower and yes its more tippy. Example. ... friend riding 2up on his Summit, with 2up seat and backrest. .. she poked her head over to see over his shoulder. ... it just casually rolled over on its side. ... both banged up sled front end damaged. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot crocodile. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Feces Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm with Dennis. My last few new machines have been renegade adrenaline. Only diff is I like to upgrade track to 16 in w ice ripper studs in 1 3/8 profile. Same foot print as 144x15 w great trail handling. I can go anywhere.

MXZMike Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 With the Heat Wave in most areas, I wonder if dealers will be more willing to negotiate pricing. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuyuna Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Not sure about all the manufacturers, but Arctic Cat is putting tremendous pressure on their dealers to move a high quota of units per season. That is why a lot of AC dealers are fading away. Combine the heavy unit quota with a soft economy, coupled with a crappy winter... who knows how much margin they have for discounts considering the heavy financial burden they carry to maintain such high inventory. I would not want to be a dealer these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
