Fireball 440 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Lost out on the first 6 attempts to buy a sled for my wife this year. Sleds are going so fast, had one guy sell one out from under me after he set time and place. Jumped on this one the hour it was listed and 45 minutes later we owned it. Paid $3900 for this 2007 600 SDI. Wife loves it took her on a 20 mile ride right from home. Can't believe how frustrating buying a sled is this year. I've basically been trying to throw money at people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Congrats on the new (to her) sled .... and even better, being able to get out and take it for a spin. I couldn't make a trip work this past week/weekend and kinda depending on Ma Nature to come through for an annual trip in a couple weeks.

I have buds who had been talking to guys arranged to come over . They get there and a guy is loading up the way overpriced sled.

I figure i paid $1000 too much for this side by side given the market even with it being winter but fuck it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 New sleds are way overpriced even in a so called excellent economy. A 07 Barney must be worth 5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was my morning yesterday. Polaris updated there app and went back to its old trails . A Tucker driver was following the app down a old trail that is a dead end now so never bothered to argo down the weeds . Ironically enough this was right in fr of polaris lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit is frozen where we ran the argo and packed the cat tails in the fall . But this was not run with argo nor any early sleds so snow in cat tails insulates the ground . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas. Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Guys in Alberta care selling 90's two up touring sleds for $3000-$4000 cad. And when someone comments saying it is over priced to help someone who has no clue out, they get dog piled by people saying it is a totally fair and acceptable price. Market is insane. I am glad I bought my sleds two years ago but it is tempting to see what I can get for my 08 d7 switchback and 07 crossfire 600. Both of which are in really good shape lol.

In comparison, In March 2020 I bought my 2011 GSX 1200 for $3700. January 2021 I bought a 2007 600 SDI for $3900. It just doesn't make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was kinda weird all this sudden interest in non converted SX sled. Turns out, just a short supply of sleds made it look real attractive.
