Time to laugh at myself and my misery .... make me wonder?

OK - so as you all laugh at my expense (I'd be doing the same damn thing to you guys! LOL) and continue to wait on my snowcheck, it's got me thinking.  What's the longest anyone has waited?  I only heard about guys in the past, waiting until January or early February, but really wondering what's the latest anyone has dealt with?

Mine was January 15th last year, but that was giving $500 as a pacifier - you guys got nothin' this year!

Yeah, that's part of the frustration ... zero concessions being communicated at this time, and I was kinda hoping they'd offer something.  Oh well, at least I don't have to turn the heat up in the garage to try and re-route or secure a coolant hose around my ELECTRIC START :lol: Maybe I can convert my snowcheck to RZR accessories and really dress up my buggy!! LOL

My guess it there's going to be some compensation but what if any.  Credit on Polaris accessories, gold ticket on 2023 snow check.  Who knows I sure hope so.  

I was fortunate to keep my 2021 Maytrx for my wife to ride and traded in a 2020 XC.  The thought is my wife don't put on many miles so when I put on 3000 to 4000 miles per year she rides the sled the 2nd year and balances out the mileage for a better resale.  I've got 1800 miles on so far this year and my 2021 Maytrx now has over 5000 miles on.  When I use to keep a sled for 2 years my dealer would cringe with the miles that was on the sled.

Now not only do I not have my sled yet I'm piling miles on my 2021 and will take a beating because of the miles it will have on.

For what people are asking, and apparently getting for sleds with 5-6000 miles or more, I wouldn't be too worried about that this season.

She's charging me mileage rate at 58.5 cents per mile because it's "Her" sled.  Getting expensive.

The area rep is going to be at my dealer tomorrow morning so I may pay a visit.

I was told on 1/7 that my expected ship date was 1/1 - 1/14.  Emailed them on 1/14 and got this reply in a email.

I apologize for the delay thus far. It sounds like you were given some incorrect information. Your unit has not shipped yet and the snow team is currently working to get an updated ETA released. Once an update is available you will be notified from them via email.

Now I see this on Facebook looks like some will be waiting even longer.

The only reason I'm not backing out is because MY23's will be more expensive and I bet we wait just as long.

Same here George.  I'll be taking delivery of mine, and giving serious thought to flipping it if I can make $$$ off it.

You don’t need no throttle switch. Cat riders have been unplugging the for 20 years because they are to lazy to re bush the throttle lever 

Tether has me covered with the XCR ... :lol2:

If you look at what some are asking, it's going to be a shit show for sled prices the next couple years.  A "new" boost for $25k??  Seriously.... Ridiculous.

2 stop sale, stop ride notices issued by poo so far this year....

Does a stop sale / stop ride count if a person doesn't even have their sled?  :lol:I think I'm just gonna go this route instead

and it's the source of any possible problem with their sled, aside from dirty power valves.

My dealer is a personal friend and riding partner.  He told me if you want to make a good profit take your sled when it comes in and flip it.  He's had a couple guys back out and when their sleds have come in he's sold their sled within 48 hrs.  He won't gouge people and charge over retail but some private guys are way above retail and selling their sleds.  I'm not in the sport to make a living I enjoy riding and just want my sled.
