Who says you can't get a great deal in a 2009 model snowmobile? Surely not Polaris, which gives you a moderately priced touring sled with renowned quality, durability and bulletproof reliability. Of course, what passes for the 2009 Polaris Trail Touring DLX should be rock solid, because it is the end result of Polaris past with some Polaris present. This sled does not figure in Polaris' future, but for the here and now and US$6,599, it is a darn good value.
The 2009 Polaris Trail Touring DLX captures Polaris' history from ski tip to snow flap. It is one of the few remnants of the Indy legacy that drove Polaris sales leadership for more than a decade. If you want to move into the real present day Polaris line of IQ-chassis models, you'll have to ante up nearly three grand more. The base IQ trail tourer is the 4-stroke powered IQ Touring FS with another 20 horsepower, Polaris' version of rider-forward seating and a suggested base price of US$9,099.
Bulletproof my ass these 550 motors should get a bullet right between the pistons and be put out of their misery.Every one of them should be recalled and replaced

Hell yeah to that!!!
I have a 2006 trail tour I bought brand new, zero miles. At 417 miles the motor burned down. I got to ride it 3 times. Polaris refuses to stand behind it. Their pat answer is that it is out of warranty. You can eat off this sled. My dealer called polaris numerous times and got nowhere. I did some research on the internet and found out that the 550 motor in the edge chassis has overheating issues that go back more than 5 years. They knew about it and let it go. now they turn their backs on the very people who bought their product. Well, I control the money for a fire dept and we have 50 grand to spend on off road equipment. I can guarantee it won't be spent on anything that says polaris on it! Funny how my 1997 ski doo has 7000 miles on it without any motor problems. hmmmmmm.......

Since polaris knew about an on-going defect and continued production and sales while refusing to make good on repairs, I am planning a lawsuit. Does anyone want to get on board? I think there is definate negligence here as well as a safety issue. After all, these machines are designed to take you into the back country in cold weather. By selling a machine with a known defect, a rider can be left broken down miles fron nowhere subject to hypothermia and potential death. This screams negligence to me.
