Making or breaking the ONESKI!!
Most newcomers on our forum have been finding close to new or just used machines. TLKPROD mentioned earlier that AD Boivin had in their possesion an updated current colors, tank, etc. 800HO, get used to their phone/customer service, at least it's consistant.
This is the first year used machines have really become scarce and hard to find so where does it go from here? Do 300 (AD Boivins 2009 spring requirement) serious folks plunk down a 75-80% downpayment on an overpriced $20k same machine we have had for seven years, for a 2010 December delivery. The same machines we all have been modifing and retrofitting to our individual conditions, of which it will also?
Will the potential buyer wanting new not settle for a used/leftover but accept one of the (three, two one, none?)
bike conversions, see the forum,

Or is anybody within the large OEM's AC, Polaris, Yamaha, catch a clue Ski-Doo been paying attention to the gr o w i N G interest here.
For now your only option is as first stated, if you find a clean machine BUY IT!!!
In the mean time there are riders here working on small scale projects towards a future replacement, for some have realized that the once plentifull rediculously inexpensive used market has shriveled. Next comes the worn out rides they currently own, then the panic, "I can't go back!"!
That will inspire even more tinkerers/fabsters, at least a few of us should have enough supplies to hold off the withdrawls, huh sledr2, Ozzydog?
