Hey everyone, im starting this out by saying this is not a dealer bash and if you dont feel comfortable in the forum leaving comments (positive or negative) please PM me.
I sold our sleds last month after the wife and i decided to buy new sleds. After a ton of research and multiple dealer stops plus the forum on here (THANKS EVERYONE), Ive pretty much (90%) decided im getting a new Summit and the wife after a couple of great dealers is looking at a Renegade Enduro.
We have been to the local dealers over here on the west side and at one my wife didnt have a great experience with the sales guy. When we went back to that same dealer looking for an avy pack for me, she/we had an awesome experience with what turned out to be the service manager. After i emailed him to find out how to proceed on ordering my wifes sled, he sent me back to the salesman (which i totally understand) my wife wont deal with (not going to get into why). At another dealer, not one of the sales guys even rode, which made it extremely difficult to figure out what would work for my wife.
So now im in a conundrum. I live on the west side near Woodinville, but have a cabin in Cle Elum. I would prefer to always buy local as its more important to me and my wife especially to have a great dealer than save a couple hundred dollars.
My only stipulation is id like the dealer to be within an hour to an hour and a half of my house or cabin and according to the Doo dealer site that literally leaves me the following options.
West side:
Ride
I90
Lifestyles (starting to get out of the way)
Clem's (starting to get out of the way)
Larson (starting to get out of the way)
East side:
Webb's
Premiere
Wenatchee (starting to get out of the way)
Experience (starting to get out of the way)
So what im looking for specifically is, has anyone had a great experience with a specific sales man at one of these dealers? Her sled will have to be ordered from another dealer (several in WI & MI) and shipped plus have a different track installed. Mine will be snowchecked.
Just so you know what were looking for in a dealer experience. Last week we went to SD, by flying into billings and driving to Rapid City. We stopped at 5 dealers along the way in MT, WY & SD and had a phenomenal experience at Elevated in Billings (see my review under Montana forum). The sales man there spent time listening to what my wife wanted in a ride, Mike gave her some options with pro's and con's and real world riding experience and even gave her some options we didnt think about plus put her on a sled in gear so she could understand exactly what he was talking about. This was very similar to our service manager experience as well. These went so well she is now sold on what she wants which is invaluable to me. I need someone who can help me find the sled she wants not just say "there arent any" (ive found 6 on my own) and help us get it here and get the right track on it.
