I really wander how the dealerships are doing these days.If I look at Kijiji ads,there are tons of sleds for sale..much cheaper then the new sleds.Young guys don't have $$$ just laying around,so they go for a used sled first.Back in 81 I thought $4000 was alot for the SRX440 that I bought,but I had money laying around.Now when I go to my local dealer..they always are trying to sell me a new 4-stroke. They tell me..."it'll look good on you and you can make monthly payments" .I say .."Nice looking sleds,but I'll stick to my 2-strokers".They sure don't want to hear that. I cannot end up paying nearly $20,000 on a new sled..(including taxes,insurance and gear) for short snowless winters.I have to worry about paying my house bills before that.
