Wildbill Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Either way they win buy it in Canada the get $$$$$$$$$$$ buy it in the states no warranty. They win either way.
Sledguy74 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Either way they win buy it in Canada the get $$$$$$$$$$$ buy it in the states no warranty. They win either way. never heard about "no warrenty" tales........interesting.......good job BRP !
Viperules700 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Have to get an amercian to buy the sled and then rebuy it off of them. Then warranty Is good, since it is a resale. If no one would buy they would fix the pricing in a hurray. Polaris is adjusting there's along with yamaha.
Spiderman Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I'm likely in the market, with a family member currently residing in the US, I will be considering having my sibling purchase this sled and park it at the cottage!.
skidooer Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 I'm surprised the 600 carb is only $7500. Dated tech for sure, but the list price on the equivalent model nearly a decade ago was more than that, if my memory serves correctly. It is not often you see the price of a snowmobile go down.
dweese Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 A asked my dealer about it at tha boat show in he mall few weeks back. He sells Sea-Doo and Can-Cam as well. He says because the market will pay it. So they chrarge it. And as for warranty, if you buy in the US, BRP will cover it in Canada. I was looking at a Sea-Doo jet boat last year in New York state as they are $5000 less than here at home. The local dealer said yup no problem they will cover base OEM warranty but any extended is most likely no covered as most of the times those are sold via a 3rd party company. It's Canadian law on vehicles that have to be registered.

sliders007 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Die hard Doo owner and I'm out as well. I'll wait for the 2013 non-current sales next year. Having bought Spring Break for more years than I can count, I see no reason to continue.

I'm not arguing with you, just saying what I've heard....

I'm not arguing with you, just saying what I've heard.... Cars, boats, sleds things that are controlled by MTO are covered. But ya go to Walmart or Bestbuy and get a TV and it craps out your most likely SOL.
trailblazer Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 The MTO has no bearing on whether a manufacturer will cover waranty work or not. I don't think that's what you're saying Dweese, right? All major manufacturers do that so their dealers can survive. (Cars too) If you could buy your sled, car or truck in the US (for less) and then rely upon your dealer north of the border to provide waranty coverage then those dealers would all go bankrupt. So the manufacturers came up with this scheme to maintain their dealer network here. That's a manufacturers decision. Not legislation. The only way they will cover waranty work north of the border is if the sled is registered in the US and the owner resides there and can show their drivers license is from there as well. It is up to individual dealers to decide if they want to help you and do waranty work but it leaves them battling the manufacturer for getting reimbursed. No garauntee they will. Leaves most gun shy. I have noticed that sled prices are rising fairly quickly south of the border and not rising as much or at all this side of the border. There used to be a $3 - 4,000 price difference between countries.They had to change that gradually as it would devastate the used sled market here if your 1, 2 or even 4 year old sled sold for the same price as a brand new one. Good luck in selling a used sled or trading it in.
Fred Quimby Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Not all car manufacturers will refuse car warranty work. It is up to the individual manufacturer. Higher end builders such as Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, even Volvo, all have almost invisible warranties, while GM and Ford will have limitations, they wont hang you out to dry. Most of the rest will do little or nothing. As Trailblazer has said it is not up to the MTO at all. IMO it is pretty risky to save 3K on a U.S. sled, go through what could be a PITA to get it home, time, fuel, hotels, then maybe blow an engine or some other major issue..to save a few bucks? I could see doing this on a high end sports car but on a sled...not I. I know I am not buying new for awhile. Hope the longevity of the 1200 pays off.
Sledguy74 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 well i think if and when i upgrade i will pick up a new non current at a discount. I have no desire to travel to the US to buy a sled but i don't like being over charged when its made here in canada.

I like buying Canadian but there comes a tipping point. More than likely I will buy a one off model year next time around. Or, even one year used. I am not doing 4 and 5 K a year to really warrant a new ride. If I do 2K I am happy as I also enjoy other Winter activities such as ice fishing, snowshoeing too.
dweese Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 The MTO has no bearing on whether a manufacturer will cover waranty work not Ya it's not a MTO thing, guess I didn't make that as clear as I should have. I'd have to see if I can track the post down from my bike forum, as some one actually posted the Law. It basically says, vehicle that requires GOV registration be it under the local MTO or Coast Guard Canada, if purchased in the US and imported by the owner, the manufactor must hounor the warranty in Canada, based on the warranty that would had applied to the vehicle had it been sold in Canada.
Viperules700 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Skidoo dropped some of it's platforms 1300 each. Still paying more then us prices. Grrrrr. I am getting a grand touring 1200. There are a few 2011 brand new still sitting around. Trade in values are terrible. I do all my own maintaince and keep sleds 18-25k. My viper just turned 17k. Four stroker I plan to keep 15 years.
Viperules700 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Brp dealers in the us can't sell new units to canadians. I buy alot of my parts and accercies out of the us now.
Sledguy74 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Polaris has treated me well except for the engine issues i had with this current sled, I usually dealt after around 5 yrs or 6500 miles but with machine cost and fuel costs im really looking at best value all around. I too agree the 4-stroke is the way to go. but those E-TEC doo's are fantastic on fuel. If the money tree blooms this spring .......... ?? maybe look for a new non current!

Viperules700 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 What year is your current sled? I have an 2007 iq 600 still In our fleet.My 67 y.o father rides it. Nice sled, rides awesome, hard on fuel and oil. Eats a jug every 800kms. Grrrrrrrrr expensive ves stuff too. Never had engine issue's with poo. This is our third Polaris. It currently has 5300 kms. Might go next year too, since my father is eyeing a 136" adventure rush 600. The new poo's are great on oil and better on gas. The etecs are appealing until the engine goes. Only 800 more now for the 1200, no brainer if you ask me. Etecs have Poor resale after 10k kms. Polaris makes the best two strokes by far. Surprised you have had issue's.
Viperules700 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Put in an offer on a 2011 gt 1200 le today. Brand new still. Will find out Monday, if they will take it. Almost 2 years old now, so how much should you save on average. I offered 10k including freight,pdi, plus tax only. Total is 11300 out the door. They were asking 10600 plus freight, pdi plus tax. Worth a try.
couchrocket500 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Sounds right, like you say almost 2 yrs old. Wouldn't think they're selling too quick considering the winter. Good luck 700!
Sledguy74 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 maybe you should have gotten one of the cowboy hats at the poker run! only if you had gotten one buddy !!
