So I could put a ball hitch in it, move some trailers. Hard nope. Only when I stated it was for some cattle moving equipment, this is not a fork lift part, I'll sign off on that, pay cash. no bill, did it happen. I did that for a cottager so he could move his boat & trailer around his yard & into his garage for the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny how you see so many of those old school rough terrain fork truck that have a hole burned through one fork with a oxy/acetylene torch that were used to move things around in the yard or site.......not so much see that anymore.

I do feel for dealers - hard to deliver any kind of "service" when you can't get anything concrete from your suppliers. I feel sorry for dealers. I have been very polite but honestly if I would have known zero wasn’t going to come in, I would have just contracted out grass all around barns and just cut my usual acre around the house myself. With zero be easy to get it all done in afternoon. Takes about three years before you are ahead though. Wait and see what happens in next few weeks, if anything. I seen s used one the guy wants as much as s new one pretty much and it is 2015. What a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Pussy Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 In case one of you guys can't get your Turbo, I have a 2001 Thundercat in excellent condition that I may be convinced to part with for the right price. That ought to fulfil your need for speed. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is forcing anyone to buy non essential play toys. Do you not agree pricing should be dictated by supply and demand? (I see travel trailers going for real cheap in 2-3 yrs, when we are back to “normal” and some return back to their normal ways that purchased large new models and get out of trailering with the family (and return to spending $’s on other forms of travel , ect). Should one refuse to pay an extremely low used price for these models due to the high inventory at dealers and a flooded used market - or would we be taking advantage of the situation?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Notice I said, 'asking', nobody that knows what's up would pay that. They obviously are looking for rubes that will. I think the opinion is common that a lot of toys (including cottages) will be on the market in a year or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Atv’s are an issue too from brp. I think it is a Mexico thing and I assume seadoo’s are made in Mexico too in same plant as atv’s, but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you or anyone else happen to know the numbers of units sold for Sea-Doo's vs Ski-Doo's? 1 hour ago, Turbo Doo said: Doo really had no issues with sled delivery last season.

I tend to think the issues you hear are exaggerated but given what is going around, if there were delays, I cannot see how anyone would be overly surprised. At least you still have your 2021....I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bill of sale - if you traded - is your contract. Unless you agree to deliver yours in advance - or your contract says otherwise, technically you get mine - when I get the one on the bill of sale, and you ( dealer ) get paid as outlined.

Selling mine privately earlier this year vs. trade in or possibly selling this coming year made too much cents not too.....like most, things were selling easily and for way more than I would have expected. Given how things might turn out, resale sleds might even be fetching more in the coming year! I will have to deal with possibly no sled to start the 2021/22 season......but I am optimistic that that will not happen and if it does, c'est la vie! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
