I'm thinking of purchasing a sled there this weekend. My buddy says that a lot of "junk" sleds are sold there. How good of luck have you guys had in the past? Also do you think the sellers there would mind a check? I'm not gonna carry around 5k cash with me.

If I was selling a sled there is no way I would take a check from a guy I had never seen before and will never see again. Too much risk. Keep enough money on your person for a deposit and keep the rest locked up in the truck. If you see a sled you like give the seller the deposit and tell him you'll be back with the balance.
The seller would have to be foolish to take a check.
People melt when they see a wad of cash too, makes it much easier to negogiate a lower price.

I understand that cash talks but my parents won't let me bring that much with me. Also one of the sno barons members suggested to NOT leave a cash deposit with someone because they could leave without you knowing.
that's what I have been told, I'm going to very carefully look for one and if it doesn't seem right I won't buy it.
It sure wouldn't make any sense to buy from a reputable dealer that would actually stand behind the sled if something went wrong right away.
Is the greasy haired, sweaty, smelly dude peddling his junk at HayDays gonna support your local club when you are having a fundraiser?
Will he be there to service your sled? or sell you parts?
Fu(k til Friday people, sometimes I swear we are hell bent on making sure our local dealer doesn't make a profit!

Hay Days Junk
The trend at Hay Days old site and the new "improved" site has been more junk year after year - most now not even snowmobile related. Not saying if this is good or bad, but I would recommend having a real good understanding of what you are looking at before you buy something there - lots of junk! I'm always amazed what people hold on to...

If you read my post I didn't say every sled was junk I just said there were few nice ones.
You never buy anything privately? [/QUOTE]
Sure I have, & I want to see my dollars go as far possible.
Perhaps I'm a hipocrite since I have sold my last 3 sleds privately, but they were all picked up at my home so the buyer knows where to come if something wasn't right. BTW, they were all happy buyers after owning the sleds.
That being said, I want everyone to remember everything that legitimate dealers do for our sport & local communities.
I've seen sleds at Haydays priced within $500 of what many dealers would actually take for similar sled.
I am only trying to illustrate that those extra $500 is very well spent when buying from a reputable dealer rather than someone you've never met & will NOT be there after the sale.
