I wonder if that's because they live on credit..  But sure go into deeper debt for a winter toy that should help the old savings situation out.

There are plenty of good used sleds they can afford for under 4k.  And those sleds also won't depreciate so they won't be losing shit loads of money that they don't even have.

I’d dare to say a $10-12k snowmobile (money down taken out) loan is far less idiotic than a mortgage payment truck loan (that you’re upside down in after 3 months for depreciation)

You gotta dig deep to support the industry. If you don’t snowcheck a ‘25 you’re not a true snowmobiler. The least you could do is buy a leftover ‘23 or ‘24. If you don’t the OEM’s won’t build hardly any 25’s, factories will shut down, assembly workers will be laid off. The entire sled industry will come to a shuddering halt and then cease to exist. 

you're slowly turning into my second third favorite trouble making dupe account around here... :roflcrying:

I don't think so.  A snowmobile is a complete toy (for most) that depreciates rapidly and every time you use it you're also spending money, for some people alot more.  And it's seasonal only and then sits for months while you're making payments and making someone else rich instead of yourself.  You should never go into debt for a total recreational luxury item, especially when there's ones out there you can actually afford.  But reading some magazines and fomo is all it takes for some to have negative money.

A car or truck literally makes you money if you need it to get you to work.  That alone makes the car infinitely more valuable.  Car is a need, sled is a want.

Not that I'm advocating for car payments either, I've never had one but it's way more understandable than a sled payment, that's a joke!

it's higher than $4K but the point remains the same.  people in general are deeply in debt for homes, cars/trucks, 'toys', student loans, credit cards, medical bill and on and on...

excluding Jags and SP 500's there's not much out there for us over $4K we'd want... is there?  :lol:

otb... :slapping:

Don't even know what you're trying to say.  I am aware people are in debt for those things.

Do you mean under 4k?  Either way, there's plenty of sleds I want that are both over and under 4k!!!

Sadly for AK leftovers are still too expensive.  No sled for him with all that glorious snow.

Have you completely unscrewed your clickers yet? Your sled will ride even softer if you give them a really strong twist when they hit that false stop.

I paid $5500 for my latest vehicle and 16 for my sled so I wouldn’t listen to me either. 
 

BUT with the prices of sleds these days if you can put 7-8-10 grand down and pay monthly on the rest I think the difference in cash is better off in your pocket.

Do they make a snowbike kit for an 80cc machine?  Perhaps that would be a nicer thing to go in on for him.

the 'vehicle' was a good purchase... I hope?  :dunno:

I haven't made a car/truck/boat/toy etc payment since 2001... because I'm on not riding/driving a deprecating mortgage.

It’s a nice unit and people try to buy it at gas stations and parking lots all the time 😂 

I usually don’t take payments on things but the cash was better suited elsewhere in this situation

They probably cut out the lower end models because most people snow check the latest and greatest. Has been that way for a long time. Not having new “value” sleds will help with their inventory problem.

They didn't make new XCs this year because there are too many carryovers sitting on dealer lots.

Both are idiotic.

Nope, it's not.  Rates at dealers are upwards of 10% right now.  Even the local credit union is 7.5-8% depending on loan term and that's for prime borrowers.

There are some really good deals out there right now, if you can stroke a check for it.  Get a few dealers in a price war against each other on the same or similar models.  The time spent comparison shopping and a couple hundred miles will be worthwhile.

Drop the Polaris to 2,281. Dad got me an 850 assault today for getting good grades on my report card. It is a snocheck only model that was sold out but some how a dealer had one. It has the big tv screen in it and does wheelies.
