I constantly search a certain 3 dealers' websites because they have unusual inventories and are very aggressive with their pricing. One of them routinely comes up with a batch of 2 and 3 year old leftovers. Up 'til about a month ago, each one had 2 to 3 pages of sleds. Now, neither of them have more than one page. One of these is in Minnesota, the area that has rec'd less snow than just about any others from the reports that I've been seeing. Seems there have been a lot of sales this season despite the wierd snowfalls.

They may have had a fire sale on Ebay.

I've seen a few Toronto area dealers offering some large discounts, figured sales were down and they we trying to liquidate. Will be interesting to hear the final numbers, especially with the slow start.

Thats unusual for the winter we have had.
The local doo dealer (owned by a friend) said that they can't give sleds away. He said it has been their worst selling year in 10 years and they will most likely be stuck with over 1/2 of their ordered inventory. They have almost gotten to the point where they are re-crating them and just pushing the quads, atleast they are selling.
I noticed the local A/C dealer also has LOTS of unopened crated sleds behing their shop. Trying to talk myself out of going in and seeing if they are willing to deal.
Maybe they will throw in an asphalt track and wheel ski's so I could actually get some use out of it.

Now that is what I would have thought, even here north of the border. Slow, slow start to the season, in full swing now but still lingering ground freezing problems. A swing in the weather any-time now and it could all be over quickly! Yeah, I know, shut the heck up!!! :dazed:
