Good advice, the not being on the end of a helicopter and just pulling and going are the biggest reasons I'm thinking about going this route. Looks like I'm going to need to pile into less trees to keep my sleds mint from now on!i upgrade the wife and i sleds every season. i cant really use mine as as comparison but hers really varies year to year. In general, your looking about 3k per season if you keep it less than 1500km, add some accessories, and dont finance it. It also needs to be in mint condition with factory decals. Your dealer also has to give you decent pricing. There have been years where it was 4000, and there has been years where it cost Nothing to upgrade due to covid pricing etc. If none of those things above apply then your likely looking in the 5k range once you factor in financing costs etc. Remember, when the market isn't hot you have to make your product look better than the rest so that means your throwing in a skid plate, bumper and maybe even a tarp to seal the deal. Your also going to want to sell it with as much warranty remaining as possible. These new turbos are a tough sell. without warranty. Make the machine as close to mint condition as possible at the end of the season, i would replace cut up decals etc, because the other thing that makes this more expensive is your personal time showing tire kickers around. Ive found that when the sled shows like showroom the first guy always comes with cash and its gone.
Whether its 2k,3k,4k, or 5k not being on the end of a helicopter, riding the latest stuff, and never opening the hood makes the experience just that much more enjoyable
