The new guy sent me a prompt reply, and confirmed they don't have any sort of tracking capability on my sled yet but did reference the Dec 15th date. So we'll see how it plays out. @Brian - I was chatting with a buddy of mine last night, at our snowmobile club meeting and he has a snowcheck for his wife .... sounds like it's just like yours, being a 650 XC. He mentioned the same you did, with the JANUARY date vs. December. We both were wondering if it's because of Fox and the QS3's?? Not sure, but we both found it kind of odd the XC's are a month later than the XCR's and VR1's. I have no specific insight @Bontz , but my suspicion is that the Polaris customers that order the VR1's and XCR's are their most hardcore repeat customers. Repeat customers should come first IMO. So, they are probably doing the right thing by taking care of those customers first. The XC likely has a lower profit margin and in many cases are showroom stock machines. So, Polaris feels they are a lower priority. So....I might have a shot at a VR1 with a 12/15 date. The down side is the color- all Plum Crazy..... Beggars can't be choosers.

Just try to picture it like a 90's Cat, with the plum colors LOL Nothing a customized wrap can't fix if it's really offensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziemann Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 yeah, Chris- That was the way I was looking at it as well. Kinda like the ugly chick at bar time. We can make this work..... :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 My dealers got a game plan for when sleds come in short parts to get them turned around ASAP with some additional help to the customers. Just waiting to see how this all works out once sleds start coming in. It's all speculation right now. When my VR1 came in last year I had the shocks less than a week after the sled showed up. Didn't miss any riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm wondering does Polaris have my order. I called their support line and talked to a customer rep who couldn't help me. She created a case # and within a half hour I got a call from a rep in the snow division. With the information i gave on my initial call the snow division guy had my order up on his screen and went thru all the details of my order (129 XCR 850). Said it would arrive at the dealer by Dec 15 either complete or with parts to be shipped later. You could always give them a call, pretty impressed that I had a response within a half hour.

Doug Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Friend was in town that works part time at his old dealership and they got 3 Assaults in today. One he thought was going to be available because the guy backed out on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK440 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 This is why you aren’t getting your new sled anytime soon. I could tell you the reason but I won’t because I’m not allowed to so I’ll instead make a video telling you why I can’t tell you. You see I can’t expose my sister’s janitor boyfriend as the source. He cleans the shitters at the Polaris plant and overheard a guy at the urinal talking to another guy in the stall about production problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first dude is clueless enough but I occasionally watch his shit. The spoiled rich kid Zac who rides around his neighborhood with a can in 1.5 inches of snow is a fucking idiot. Hopefully his Sled never shows up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ‘94 ZL 580 with the 2-up seat is still pretty kewl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
