Great deals to be had out their, IF anyone is looking. After another crappy snow year, smart dealers are dumping any sled they can. Out of the crate, is he assembling it himself???....ask him for a copy of the bill of sale...that's a little over 14K before tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its a 129 base model that seems really cheap? Not calling bullshit but my buddy who is a Cat dealer says that is below cost on the cheapest model of 9000 even with all the rebates and holdback out.

Yes, taxes in, 137 ZR9000 SP OTD. Apparently, he said he would rather loose a bit now, than carry it all summer, and who knows how long next fall. Again, that is why I personally don,t get sucked into the spring break HYPE, and high prices. Now is definitely the time to buy, if anyone is looking for a great deal. Smart dealers have made enough on the early sales, and realize that sometimes it,s time to let them good, even at a bit of a loss on the last few units.

Puzzleboy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sounds like a sound business plan. I would think that "smart dealers" buy the correct amount of inventory, and inventory that the public wants. They're not selling because they're too expensive, too heavy, the build quality is shit, and they need BRP skis to even turn. And there are only so many customers like Blackstar who want to be king of the lakes...... Smart dealers tend to do that, instead of waiting 20 years to sell them as antiques.

Sell them high when the market is hot, dump the balance of stock in February/March so you don't sit on them all summer, even if that's at or below cost.

Puzzleboy Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well, if you ran your pool business that way, you wouldn't be in business long. I haven't seen Doos sell below cost (marked down, sure)...... but the Sidewinder is selling below cost according to Fuzzy in it's first season. Interesting..... I bet Yamaha wonders what the fuck they got into with that shit slug chassis and a company that has no quality control. Hopefully Textron makes some big changes. 4 hours ago, Blackstar said: Its the same business plan used by most dealers regardless of brand.

Yep, Doo dealers don't do that....lol Some here may remember me buying an '09 600 Etec for my son in February of '09. The dealer had posted on Freedomsledder that he had 3 sleds left and wanted them gone. He sold all 3 at less than cost and threw in extras. Same thing happens in my business. Personally, I don't carry inventory but my suppliers do and they slash prices every year at the same time just to keep the lights on and move product.
