Have you ever compared Cat prices from Canada to the US? They are not at par either.

 

[imdoo'n]

they are within 700 bucks that is alot better than just a year or two. close to $4000 difference then, so what ya complaining about. or ya just like to complain?

In my opinion it is not worth buying a new Doo in the US for a difference of $700. With travel, border fees and getting a recall letter from the manufacturer and not having warranty on your purchase in this country you would be a fool to buy down there now. And if any body thinks that Cat, Polaris and Yamaha is doing it better then you need to give your head a shake. Do any of us like the fact there is still a price difference? No but we have to live with it till something changes. Boycotting a manufacturer isn't going to cut it. You may as well boycott the car companies, the oil companies and the company that makes your favourite cocktail as well.

$700 is what you guys are yippin about??? come on now I tell this to people all the time drive down there,add up the fuel,and food,and beverages,and possibly hotel room, and any other little knick knack that is if the trip goes 100% then get to the border and pay that 5-12% tax depending on province now how much are you really saving? not very much! few years ago was $2000-$4000. I priced out a 2010 HCR from fast toys in kalispell 9,995 and no tax I then went and priced it here in canada and it was more like 15,499 and that was cat. for me $700 isnt worth my time and effort to go down south and buy and I live 45 minutes from the border now $4000 yes thats a different story . I think doo is pretty on track you gotta think of how many sleds are sold in the states compared to canada and especially western canada it's shocking how many more units are sold in the states and that has quite a bit to do with the price difference.

I just had this same sceneraio on a lift kit! guy messages me asks for a price on a lift I quote him $2400 for a 6" bds lift with fox shocks,carrier bearing drop,and narrow knuckle system wich isnt to bad well the kid goes online sees it advertised for $2271.00 so he calls me back asks if I can beat that price I told him get it sent to canada pay the extra $200 for oversized shipping and then the 12% tax at the border your up to $2767.52 and you better hope the product isnt damaged. i then told him if he goes and gets it installed about the fuel,hotel,food all that stuff and he finally realised hey maybe it is cheaper in canada . you really gotta look at all the little hidden fees cause there are so many you dont see until after the fact then it's to late!

you really can't be serious with this post?

 

[hughie]

Move to the states then and we wont have to hav this exact same thread every year when the new sleds come out, and come on switch to cat and dont ever look back, well ya, why would u look back, everyones in front of you

 

[jaredszakacs]

if he is then he should maybe call the cat dealers in the states and get there prices compared to a canadian dealer and will soon realise it is more than $700

 

[jaredszakacs]

here did the research for ya fast toys kalispell 2012 m8 sno pro 153 $12,399

same sled at dons speed shop starting at $14,099

14,099 -12,399 = $1700

Looks like Doo is being more pro-active than Cat with that pricing. Now....... where does the other 2 companies fit in?

 

[jaredszakacs]

oh by the way that took me 2 minutes to find I'm sure I could find some more pricing that would be more of a gap as well

 

[jaredszakacs]

now polaris pro rmk 155 kurtspolaris $11,799
cycleworks $13,299
-$1500 difference

2013 skidoo summit x 154 $12,349 summitmotorsports
canadian $13,449 ecko marine
-difference $1100

looks like doo and poo are the cheaper if coming from the states

 

[tukernater]

HAHA Can you feel that ?

 

[Teth-Air]

I can only see it worth buying from the US if you are going to do some serious mods to the sled like put a Turbo on it where you void your warranty anyway. We should have a choice on the warranty.

 

[megatron customs]

Yes but not as bad

 

[trench]

Probably going to get flamed from all the Doo loyalists, but BRP is a Canadian company (well a Quebec company) so they should be giving there fellow country men a break. But yah it sucks that stuff costs so much more in Canada.

 

[SUPERDUTY]

My point is why are they still gouging us no matter which manufacturer it it is , the $ has been at par for a couple of years now.
