Never really known how far I lived from my dealer so I set the tripper and away I drove. I live 40.2 miles away one direction. How far do others have to go?

I'll win this contest.....how about 240 miles!!! That is one way.

5 minutes from my house! 1.5 hrs. from where I ride.

10 Miles round trip, I tend to stop there alot. I know everyone there on a first name bases.

FZ700 :D

:D about 30 miles one way was my old one.... haven't ben to my new dealer yet!!! he is a couple of hours away!! :D :p ???

i live 20 miles from the doo dealer, 10 miles from a yamaha/arctic-cat dealer and 3 miles from a new polaris dealer.

well it depends what i need if i need just standard parts i go to my buddys dealer ( the blade guy) which is only about 100 yds from my house so i walk there or just drive my sled in the winter and im htere everyday then the cat dealer i go to ( young america ) is about 25-30 min away just off of the interstate

my dealer is 1/2 the ride to work but work is only 5or6 miles :D but you do have to cross the state line :doh:

My dealer is 15 miles away. I take the back roads to get there,otherwise I have to sit and wait thru about 9 stoplights. :angry:

Sorry Jim, I beat you. My dealer's 290 miles one way. At least it's on the way to visit some relatives, so I can stop on the way, drop the sleds off or pick up some goodies. But, the long distant relationship sucks. However, if I lived closer, I'm sure I'd spend more money, so because of this, my marriage stays on the up and up.

Jon ???

1500 feet!

Jon, if we could get Holzauer's to deal w/us, we'd save a lot of time. Too bad he doesn't realize the business he's missing. Maybe we should propose to him to let us run that part of his business....you could handle the Yammi people and I'd take care of the CAT people.

My cat dealer is about 15 miles away. Hopefully he stays open. The cenex coop currently ownes it and he's trying to start it on his own being they are going to drop it. If things don't work out for him i'll be 45 miles from a dealer I really don't like. Don't know were I'll go then.

I have 2 Skidoo dealers within 30 miles. I use the closer one (10miles) if I just need to pick up oil or something like that but if I need service I go to the other. (That's where I bought my doo)

The Doo dealer that is closest too me(45km) is worthless. Everything is way overpriced and the service is terrible. I dont even know how far it is to my doo dealer but it takes almost 2 hours to get there. I will set the tripometre on friday when i go.

i live in timmins everything is like 5mins away..........lol ;) :D

Yea Jim, that's a good idea. I do think there's a market in this area for sled sales, but I think they're trying to make up for their lack of sales by a tremendous markup on each sled. (Did that make sense?) I can understand a dealer wanting a decent profit, but their prices are a bit ridiculous. If I were them, I'd be somewhat concerned about locals who want sleds going two hundred plus miles to do business. They do have some diehards, but I know for a fact that they're getting fed up too. I think it's a case of the owner being so diversified that the sled sales really don't mean much in the big scheme of things.

Jon

The closest Cat dealer is 3 miles away but I use him only if I need parts in a hurry. He'll never touch my sleds. My (good) dealer is 41 miles way.

Closest dealers are SD-3 blocks AC-15 min Yam-5 min Polaris-30 min

My dealer is 90-100 mile drive. Nelson's Speed Shop in Greenville, MI. I am very picky when it comes to my sleds and Nelson's has treated me real good. Best deals and best service, even when they didn't have a building to work in (before the trailers went in after the fire even:( )

I HAVE THREE DEALER SWHIPS WITH IN A 30 MINUTE DRIVE, AND ANOTHER 2 ARE AN HOUR AWAY, IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T HAVE THE PART SOME ONE ELSE WILL. I ALSO LIVE ABOUT 1.25 HRS AWAY FROM THE AC FACTOREY. :D

I live 45-60min. north of Toronto there are 6 Doo dealer's within a 45 min drive, the closest is 10 minute's. away, they are everywere!

My dealer is about 15 miles away. Others are within the same distance. Lots of dealers in the St. Paul metro area. I can have my pick. I haven't really found one that I trust though. Nobody really seems to care much once they get your money. Guess I'll keep looking!

tegs, I've heard good things about Century Power in Stillwater.

The one i'm dealing with now(but may soon change) is about 110km from me.There are 2 much closer to me and if things keep going how they are they may be getting my business now :angry:

About 130 miles round trip, and well worth it - Team Rob's baby. There are also 2 doo dealers that I pass up on the way there too, one is about 30 miles round trip, and the other about 80. If I need some part I can wait for I'll order it from the other dealer. If it's service of any kind NO WAY!

2 minutes from skidoo, 5 minutes from arctic cat and 15 minutes from polais dealerships.

i live about 15-20 mins away from the dealer i bought my sled from...service is good...the front desk lady is the equivalent of the witch from wiz. of oz...got some high prices too...other dealer is about 35-40 mins away..got the quad there..they seemed like pretty good straight up people..then the quad went in for some warranty work...took 4 weeks to do a days work..and when we called to check it out they told us that people were bringin there quads in left and right to get ready for hunting...so tehy put that as there top priority...that really didnt set well w/me...looks like ill be goin back on the hunt again to...anyone know ne good polaris dealers in the WNY area...-INDY
