Might have to wait for 2022

Geeze, wonder what I could get for my Sidewinder? Maybe it's time to sell!

Yeah you're right Mike, problem is I've put a Bazillion bucks into this one so far and the thought of doing it again is daunting! lol
 
I’m literally over this industry at the moment. So after the fiasco this morning/today about the 20980 out the door... I get a call from another dealership I had called. Apparently the deal fell through and a sled was available! I couldn’t rip my cc out of my pocket fast enough. 18500 out the door. I was was over the top happy. 45 minutes later (after they asked me if I could move up my pick up date of the 16th cuz I’m out of town starting tomorrow) I get a call that they supposedly took deposits from myself and someone else at the same time and regretfully has to sell the sled to the other guy. I’m beyond livid.
That sounds like the other guy offered more money so they sold it to him that sucks that’s what’s happening in the real estate market right now in the Northeast people are paying way over asking price

Yes, we all have and are in the same situation... I was real close to ordering this seasons Thundercat until finding out it was grey and not matte black panels. Told my wife I was ordering up a new sled this spring, but the way the winters, (global warming) are going, I'm not sure it's worth even getting a new sled. I'm just wanting something new is all. Maybe I need to rethink it.
 
wtf...still want black? the price is way over the top and I wouldn't pay it..my buddy bought a 1997 skidoo 660 2up with a rebuilt engine for $200...YES $200..he put a couple of hundred bucks and for less than $500 he's got a running sled with heated grips. Time to tell them to keep their sleds and price gouging. Or...rent a sled this year and wait till next year when people are fed up with this sport getting too expensive and sell their low milage sleds when covid is over.
I saw today on the weather channel the statistics on snowmobile sales..from the high sales in 1997 to sales today, snowmobile sales have dropped 70 percent...yes 70 percent..some due to pricing of sled and some is due to lack of snow...I'm just quoting the Weather Channel this morning..sorry Dude, I know its discouraging...Joe
I think the 70% drop is primarily due to the price of snowmobiles.
 
If anyone is still looking for a sidewinder,we have a sports center here in Gorham,called Reynolds motorsports...they have some models still on there showroom floor,and i was there today.

The other guy offered more would be my guess!
