Agree...these large volume dealers in MI sell below cost and use their holdback, with higher volume to get higher % back from BRP. Smaller dealers can't compete.Dan ,That's like cost without freight .
I now have 2 dealers in MICH(opposite sides of state) within 15 bucks of each other. All the many other dealers I have called are all over the place. Guys from MICH have been telling me for yrs to check out their dealers, they were right.
Since my local dealer of 40+ yrs has closed, I have no problem driving 3hrs to save $1800 bucks.

Dan, Did you try Smith Marine in Old Forge? My Doo buddies always get great deals there.Agree...these large volume dealers in MI sell below cost and use their holdback, with higher volume to get higher % back from BRP. Smaller dealers can't compete.

Not yet, but doubt they will be close. No way they can be 1800 less then dealers right down the hwy in NY. But let me know if you get a price there close.Dan, Did you try Smith Marine in Old Forge? My Doo buddies always get great deals there.

I expect once the other mfg's releases next week and if Cat offers the preseason deals then Doo here in Ontario may loosen up on pricing. If I can get one for $20 plus tax I will pull the trigger. I'm keeping my 20 Tcat though.

Seriously though, it does look like an impressive sled and kudos for ski-doo for pushing ahead
It is an ugly duckling though!!!!

Leaders is huge. They sell online bigtime. They are not going anywhere anytime soon. Largest online skidoo parts seller by far. And I have spoke to 3 other MICH dealers who are near same price. NY state dealers are the highest of all states.My shild friend

Just to be clear, MICH dealers have been selling far far cheaper then NY going back to the 90s...this is nothing new. No dealer is going under, this is the norm for them. If people want to give $1800 to a NY dealer that is your choice. I'll put the cash toward riding!
Since Smiths sells that much, he is making good money on the holdback volume no doubt. Most dealers will not tell you that part. LOL

This is the sled that i really want. 900r turbo.
Only two models for '22 are avail(2s) but this model would be awesome if it comes here next season to north america.

Good luck on getting a better price. Checked with 4 more dealers today and all were full list but were eating the PDI/Freight. $22949 for the Mach

I wonder if all that blow off sound is dubbed in? That’s not really Doo’s style with the 4 strokes. Whisper quiet

Yeah my 2 local dealers just got the RAVE RE 850 etec Lynx in today too. I might try to demo one. Killer big bump sled with uncoupled rear making it super fun nose lifter.Dan my local dealer just got a Lynx yesterday. Seen a pic in their shop floor. It’s a 850 etec model.View attachment 159969
What I would love to see is that 4 stroke Lynx come to North America next!

This may be the wrong thread/place but I am in W Yellowstone with my riding buddies and there is likely to be a factory Polaris turbo for '22. It rode by us. No pics sorry. They had it "disguised". But the blow off was obvious.
