– The reason they want to flag your sled is you are sending CANADIAN FUNDS to America! You are not supporting your local dealer or your economy!!! They are not trying to screw you over, they are trying to stop cheapskates like you from dumping money across the border.
- Keep your money in your own country and stop bitching when you get caught cheaping out knowing full well what you were doing in the first place.
I see my old post was ressurected.
Did you even read what you posted? Before you call me an idiot answer me a few questions... How do you figure I was handing my money over to the americans? By buying from BRP? A Canadian company. The american dealer may have made a small amount on the new sled (approx. 7%) but the majority of the sale goes straight to BRP. So how am I screwing over the canadian dealers??? BRP is screwing over the canadian dealers by offering such HUGE price differences to the americans!!! You talk about supporting your country and economy when the companies LOVE guys like you who'll just roll over and pay whatever they ask without squawking at all!! They don't have any patriotic allegiance and you're totally fooling yourself if you think so... Wave your patriotic flag all you want, its BRP who's laughing at you at the end of day. Supply and demand is the rule of the economy, if the demand for sleds is high, people will pay through the nose for them! 2008 reflects a change in where people make major purchases and looky here!! 2009 sleds are cheaper! Its not worth it to buy out of the states now because the canadian dealers are prices are competitive.
That being said, I have a hard time buying any products from BRP anymore. Their new Backcountry XP machine is pretty nice and would appeal to me but I think I'll be going with another manufacturer for obvious reasons.
