It's defiantly harder to be ahead with same 13 percent as dealers now. Before hst there was an extra 5 percent to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons change, it all plays a role for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

1049 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I’ve sold my last 10 sleds private but run them through the dealer to save on the tax it’s worked well so far but getting tougher to sell them . The one I sold this spring really surprised me only took one day to sell . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 That is what all the Quebec guys do. The dealers call it "sale by accommodation" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some just don't want to do it for a few reasons. A few guys on here seem to do it often and dealers co-operate. Anything to save some taxes when purchasing a new one that's for sure. Also makes sure no liens on it for buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT RIDER Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I usually trade at dealer as it saves on taxes, hassle free and you dont have to worry about buyer not switching out of your name. Last time though, I had a Cat and Doo dealer told me straight up they did not want to take on trade, it had 16Km on it. Put it on FB market place and priced right, I was glad to sell and buyer was happy with price, all worked out in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1049 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The dealer I normally deal with has no problem running a sled through them but he also hasn’t been taking trades . He doesn’t sell X3 s SXS so I bought from another dealer they would take my sled on trade at a ridiculous low price plus the new sled was 400 more and would not let me run my sled through them .

My dealer charges me $200 per sled to run them through and the buyer pays $149 licensing fee plus his taxes 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of fixes are pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
