p51mstg Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Just saw this myself and posted in a different thread. Although I’d never be in the market for whatever this is, they got my attention. Good job (already), Polaris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealers are saying a drastic cut in Sno Checks available for next year. Supply chain and probably lots of people who have cancelled out and will go to the top of the list....or at least should. Many of these people would not order 2 years in a row. Edited February 23, 2022 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I early ordered many new cats over the years. I would be livid if my sled didn’t come in till March. I never dropped off my trade in early like some did and be left sledless. Crazy shit.

Oh I agree, I'd be upset but being in Manufacturing and knowing first hand the supply chain issues I can see it. We have suppliers that are 6 months past due on 6 month lead-times that were supposed to be 3 mo leads but we we were anticipating the issue and doubled it ourselves and are still getting burned. Our worst suppliers on this are from Japan, Italy and the US. Our customers requires us to use these components so there is nothing we can do as they are not something you can just readily swap out to another brand. Could impact our sales by as much as 15-25%. Good thing as our products are slightly seasonal buyers appear to just be willing to wait. Edited February 23, 2022 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted don’t trade/sell your sled until you have your new sled in your garage back then. You would be living under a rock to believe that promise. A bunch of people told me I was crazy as they are guaranteeing delivery by December. Well they never said which December and here we are. I feel bad for the people that didn’t get their sno check.

I mean, let's face it ... it's money in the dealer's pocket, and just about guaranteed that a cancelled snowcheck won't be on the floor very long.
