Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Looking at a pro s. Local shop has a leftover 16 600 for 9k. I've tried looking online, but came up with nothing, my question is: were there any changes between 16 and 18 as far as performance and reliability? Is it worth saving the couple grand for a leftover or have they made updates that would warrant the extra cash? The 16 has a 2 year factory warranty. I will be coming off a 14 SBA 800, kinda hesitant about the loss of power also. I won't be riding the mountains much anymore and looking for a more comfortable trail sled. Thanks for the responses! I realize I posted this in the trash talk bullshit crybaby area of the forum, but the last post in the actual sledding area was months ago! Not sure anyone actually reads those...?

Not sure anyone actually reads those...? $9k seems to be a little on the high side for a 2 year old sled . That 600 has about 15hp less than a 2014 800. You may not notice much of a performance difference. A little for sure but it won't be a huge amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I agree with 9k being high. You should be able to get a 18 for that at the end of Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know, I'm going to be riding more twisty groomed trails for the foreseeable future so 15hp probably won't be a fun factor killer. I guess they updated the tstat crank case plug, maybe some other things. Were there any issues with the 16s, being a 2nd year new model sled? I agree 9k is a bit high but a new 18 is north of 11, if Polaris hasn't made significant changes to the model (performance/handling/reliability) I could see saving a few turtle backs and ride an older version. Again, it's a leftover, 0 miles, with 2yr warranty... Thanks for the reply pilot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leftover XCRs are 11.5, I'm ready to pull the trigger, but not for that little markdown! Tick, where the hell can I get an 18 in February for 9k?! I'm in the New England area.

Woodtick Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 In the Mid West they start dumping sleds towards the end of winter. They really drop the price on 600 models. Start looking on line at dealers out of the snow belts Mi, Wi, Mn. Buds go out of state to pick up sleds all of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a great point, unfortunately driving that far at 12mpg from here might actually cost me more in the long run! 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their web sites have the shipping info on them. Look at Kens prices.http://m.kenssports.com/ Edited December 20, 2017 by Woodtick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd be happy going from an assault to an Indy tho... only reason for trading in is for the axys platform and something more trail friendly flickable fun factor. Anyone have any insight into upgrades between 16 and 18 other than color schemes, PIDD, etc? Any recalls, warranty issues or whatnot with the 16s?

My pops didn't raise a dummy, I got the quote for the sled before I told them about the trade-in. 😜 I was thinking I may get a better price if I sold my sled and walked in with cash, but then I have to deal with all the tire kicking, track spinning, mouth breathers on Craigslist...

Good engine, it pulls like the V10 except doesn't puke spark plugs and exhaust manifolds every 5k miles! Only thing I don't like is the transmission, shift points are all off, can be fixed with a tuner just waiting for warranty to run out...
