Hi everyone,
I've been lurking these forums for a while but this is my first thread here, so excuse me if it's the wrong location or format.
I am looking to purchase my first new sled. About 6 years ago I got a 2008 Ski doo Summit 800 154” for $2,700 that was great for getting me into mountain riding but I'm looking for something more reliable and something that’s generally a newer upgrade.
The dealerships in my area are having some decent deals on the Edge models and I've settled on a 165 track, which a couple shops have a few 23's left ranging from $12,000-$13,500 with most of this discount being waving the three 3 year warranty in favor of $2,000 rebate and the 1 year factory warranty instead.
Can anyone advise as to why so many shops seem to be hanging onto the Edge models from 23'? I know it's a new model line and some people don't like the flextrack, T-motion and lack of SHOT, but I'm just wondering what else is a potential issue or dealbreaker.
I'm usually going out and doing sled accessed skiing/snowboarding and often doubling buddies around for runs, so the narrow running boards and lack of deep footwells at the front of the running boards doesn’t seem ideal but is not a deal breaker. I’m not a very confident aggressive mountain rider as I’m usually playing it safe and taking it easy but want to really push myself in the coming years for mountain riding. I’m not too strong at side hilling and generally have riding form that could use some improvement, but I do have experience in alpine and tree riding.
I'm usually riding in snowboard boots and will have about an inch of boot hanging over the running boards on the Edge model, especially on the brake side of the machine. This doesn't seem like it'll be a big inconvenience but let me know if you think otherwise.
I’ve saved up and am looking to pay cash but have been waiting until a good deal on a very lightly used or preferably new sled comes up. I’ll be keeping the machine for a long time and not trading in after warranty is up.
Main questions: Does anyone know why there’s still so many of these 23’ Edge models unpurchased?
How much should I try to bargain down/should I expect to actually get off MSRP besides the rebates, especially for paying all cash? Any buying advise for in the shop and for being new to dealerships?
Should I get the three-year warranty or $2,000 rebate offered from Skidoo?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and have a great season!
