Sounds odd to me as well. I'm surprised that there is a dealer out there that can make a living selling only new machines, often times there is more money in used vehicles than new ones. Not to mention how many potential customers have gone elsewhere because they want to trade their current unit on a new one.
Now this dealer WILL allow trade in’s like the 2015 I had. They contact an auction house send pic of machines, odometer, hours.etc…. They give an appraisal of what that model, condition, etc. will bring and that is what Polaris dealer offers? Handling used machine is not their business model! However there is another repair shop pretty close, performance ATV, that works on any machine. My boys have used them numerous times, do good work, low prices, and good guys.
No doubt this is true. But I still don’t get it. Big Red Said it best I think. Get those customers into a quality used machine, the upgrades are likely to come in down the line.
Big Red, picked it up Friday, ist thing, after nearly 5 months, I for got every thing I knew about them. Nothing familiar! New one came with outside rear mirrors, and Dealer said they did away with the initial 25 hour check! Yeah, i gonna have to think on that one! Maybe 50 hours? What you think?
The old rule was after the first 25 hours which I always thought was sooner than it really needed it, opinions will likely vary wildly on this. I think the XD manual says 2000 miles for the first service, I did mine just shy of a 1000 miles and had no concerns. There are a lot of variables that determine when it's really needed so my advice is to do the first service at whatever interval you feel comfortable with.
