buying from out of state dealer?

[Bigbartguy]

hi folks

I’m looking at buying 2011 Polaris 600 LXT 2-up, new from an out-of-state dealer.

I’d prefer to buy locally, but there are very few dealers that have any 2011 clearance/leftovers and if they do, they want around $1000+ than I’m being quoted. Incidentally, I’m getting a quote of $7499 + 79 doc fee with NO other add-ons/fees (except tax).

MSRP is $9999 for this sled.

besides making sure there aren’t any additional suprises (prep fees, whatever), is there anything else that I should be concerned about?

Repair service - will MN Polaris dealers tell me to take a hike or will be fine w/ honoring the warranty? any advice would be appreciated.

I’m really debating whether to pull the trigger OR wait until new 2013 models come out:

Does anyone think Polaris will be adding a 2-up Touring RUSH to their lineup in 2013? I kinda think they might phase out the IQ chassis based on the RUSH’s popularity.

thanks!

I don't think you'll have a problem getting warranty work done. It's my understanding that the dealer gets paid by the manufacturer for this work (at least, that's the way it's done in the automotive industry). I can't think of anything else to look into, as long as you've agreed on the price over the phone. In my world, $1,000.00 is a lot of money and I would travel out of state to save that much as well. Good luck with the new sled.

Warranty work shouldnt be an issue, though your spot in line or preference for work may be.

I believe you will get soaked for the MN Sales Tax when you bring it home to register it, so just be mindful of that as well.
