Anyone ordering a 2022?
- Thread starter harvest1121
- Start date
I believe the delivery dates will be very accurate this season hence the cutting of production already. None of the manny's want to underdeliver so I feel very confident that we'll see our product before December. The Yamaha Sno Scoots sold out within the first week. If they can find a way to extend quantities on those I can see them coming in December and maybe even late December. I really don't think the customers that really want those will mind.
Last thing OEMs and dealers want is a terrible overstock condition. We all lived thru that for years and reaped benefit of discount prices for the consumers but not for dealers an OEMs. I read OEMs are discouraging dealer overstocking this year. Who knows if old OEM habits return with normalization of supply lines. Usually more profitable to mass produce but constant production is better in a recovery economy. Time will tell.
Kip, in my business we have been promised and promised delivery times and times have come and gone without product, do you forsee any issues on delivery dates with the supply chain so screwed up? its not snowmobiles but we are still waiting for product we ordered back in November. Hat's off to you on pre-season!! glad to see people still buying!! hope it continues for you

You want to see crazy delivery times 2023 on some Trek Bicycles not bike on the floor right now. They have been good on getting us bikes and parts but could sell a lot more. 90 day turn sometimes is more then a year now.
euphoric I get your frustration for sure! We ordered aluminum trailers in February and started quoting customers prices for the spring only to see the manny call us in March and tell us there will be surcharges! I told them that's not how we conduct business. We should've been locked in and were not! Super frustrating. Snowmobiles are forecasted months in advance so I see success for the most part. As far as dirt product is concerned I've seen pushbacks. What we need is people to have some morals and principles and get back to work. That's just my humble opinion. Too many people taking advantage of our crooked system right now. The economy was never meant to work this way and our forefathers would be turning over in their graves if they were to see all the handouts. From what I'm seeing it's one and out which means one order and that's all you're going to see. No restocking before the next year and that includes boats, trailers, mowers, and heavy stuff. I've had Bobcat compact tractors on order since last September that have yet to arrive! OUCH!

100,000$ more, on what price point of a home?

Have a customer that's a licensed builder. He started a new home for himself last year with a anticipated total cost to rebuild @ $300,000. He just called and upped his insurance coverage to $470,000 due to the building material cost increase!

I'm a GC with 35 years experience and have built over 600 new homes. I can tell you without question those 6 figure increases being stated are over exaggerated. Example I contracted a new home last March for $252,000.00, this very same house 1 year later (at this moment) is $285,000.00. Everything has gone up somewhat but the lumber package is the real killer.

My builder estimate last year came in at just over $450,000 and I was supposed to build this Spring, when I started talking to him late this winter he told me the price for everything has been going up and that the house would now be over $550,000 that's when i said i would wait and see what happens next year. I've used this same builder to build both of my sons houses and numerus other projects at my current house.
Saw Polaris reported today snowchecks were up 175% over last season (almost 3 times higher). Cat and Yami sold out of some models, and since Doo is the leader in sales I'm sure they did great also.
Seems like there's going to be a lot of low mileage sleds available in a couple years...

I hope you are right!
