thats where it helps to just bite your tongue be polite and still buy it from the cheaper guy so at least when you come back for the simple repairs and parts to your local guy they dont hate you and will still be willing to help you out ... telling someone to get bent just doesnt go over well ever imo
im ALL FOR buying from a good dealer .... BUT ...
what happens when a simple warranty recall comes out, or a warranty fix like an electrical issue?
and you want to drop off w the local guy that you told to go f*ck themselves, cause they said buy elsewhere if you don't like it???
ill tell you what ... your seld gets dropped to the bottom of the pile and you drive 6 hours (probably on crappy roads) for a repair
whether it be simple or a 2-3 day fix
not to mention the wear and tear on your trcuk, gas, trailer, food and lodging ... assuming you dont hit a deer driving in the night (hoping that would never happen just saying)
i get it tho, I do ....
just from personal experience, supporting your local guys is sometimes worth it, IF YOU DRIVE A MACHINE W WARRANTY
I dont want any downtime if I can help it .... I learned this the hard way last year, as my post above explains why
right and I agree
but you still didnt buy from the local guy
so when you DO need work done, you wont get yours done ahead of the guy that DID buy his locally (especially when they are backed up w work)
which in turn can set you back on riding time potentially
most of these sleds have tight margins, there isnt a huge mark up in them
so FOR ME, driving even an hour to save $500, ill buy locally ...... I know ill make it up somewhere
and most dealers will continue to give you discounts on parts or accessories throught the year as well
See now perception is everything, I called mr rs one day, my wife and son were in the truck. We spoke a bit on a warranty job and the fella on the other end of the line had no idea about it. I explained my situation and then tried to jog his memory about the sled... I will quote his response " there are f---in sled all over here, I sell them every f---in day.. So I bring the conversation to a quick close... I will be sure to steer away from there,A good dealer is like finding gold..........it gets you all excited and tingly all over!
They are getting harder to find and further away.
"The best little shop on the Prairies" or Mr.R's is one of a few that I know. It is a 2 hour drive and I am treated quite well thank-you!!!
