Hi All,
Looking for everyone’s thoughts and opinions on the above subject. Currently have a 2017 Axys 174. Before COVID I was going to snow check a new turbo doo. With the virus outbreak I decided to hold off until the dust clears a bit. Spending $23k on a new sled seems a bit removed from reality in our current economic state. Ironically the best offer I got on my 174 had been between $8000 and $8400 from
the dealer albeit that was a week before the virus really substantiated into anything.
Bunch of the guys I ride with are picking up aftermarket kits. What held me back before was my lack of mechanical ability (two other guys in the group who bought kits are mechanics in some form). Are the aftermarket Polaris kits as reliable as people say or am I looking at a world of hurt? I’ll also say I’m a big fan of the Polaris chassis over doo, just what im used to, the doo feels out of control in comparison. But what doo brought this year was enough to get me to jump ship.
Either way I’m ready for a change. Just not sure if a aftermarket kit makes sense to hold me for a year or two or if I should make do a bit longer and buy a snow check leftover mid season (I’m sure there will be plenty). Guess a guy could always do nothing? This begs the question what kit to buy and what is a fair price for a used aftermarket kit?
May as well talk about this subject since were all in lockdown anyways!!
Cheers,
Tyler
