I did.
It offers a personalized "registered code" for $500 of free accessories above and beyond what the dealer offers on a 2020 spring exclusive model.

Got mine back on 3/5. I am holding off this year, have a 19 850X and my son picked up a 19 TNT last month for 9200 with all rebates. He wanted to buy a Polaris, but the 850 doo rebates were way too good to pass up, and a Polaris 800 were not even close rebate or price wise.

Great price on the TNT, good job.
I chatted with one of my Dealer friends who sells Poo/Doo and he is concerned with how Poo has tightened up their strategy on rebates. For two seasons in a row Poo has not offered good season ending rebates to drop inventory costing him storage and interest fees.
All four are changing something so we will see how it plays out.

Hey question for you guys -> I have been looking at getting a new '19 Doo for my wife since the rebates are so good but I am finding out all dealers want to charge "set-up" fees. Is this the norm for all Doo dealers? I have found '19 TNT's for as low as $8,900 but then you have to add $800+ for the darn fees.

Yup,
Kinda like when you buy a vehicle and you gotta pay for the dam key.

Some Dealers "play the game" yes.
You can expect to pay about 9,460 (or better) which includes everything except tax and registration for a 19 TNT 850 today.
If the dealer wont budge, move on to the next one
I am assuming you may be talking of a company with Cedar in the name, don't forget they also charge a doc fee on top of their set-up.

Here is my experience, and I now deal with only two multi brand dealers in central and eastern Wisconsin. I live in the Milwaukee area, and have a cottage in northeastern WI. I am fortunate to be able to afford a number of toys: sleds, waverunners, ATV, RAZR's..........I also like to trade if the price is fair.

I have found that many dealers in non metro areas DO NOT charge freight, set-up, and BS fees, only a documentation fee. When my son was looking for a new sled, a leftover 19, he / we contacted at least 6 dealerships in the Milwaukee metro area and beyond. ALL had set-up, delivery fees, etc... ranging from 500-800, what BS. All their web prices were slightly lower, but when you add the fees, they were significantly higher (400-600) then others he checked in Central & Eastern Wisconsin. I have experienced the same thing.

I own a business and have the right to do what I want, as do all dealers, but i personally respect and like dealing with those that advertise and display the price on the web or right when they talk to you, versus those who suck you in and then tell you....oh by the way, it is an extra $ xxx on top of that.

I too have heard from dealers that Polaris has kept a firm line regarding rebates, which is there choice.

Feel bad I will not be using my spring fever coupon, but i actually really like my 19 850x 129, wayyyy more then my 2017 Rene 137. And, after riding a 137 the past 12 years, i will never go back to a 137 or longer. The 129 is great.

OK guys, I'll bite. Can you provide me with the name of a dealer that will sell me a 2019 sled with little to no additional fees because I have contacted 3-4 places in the Madison & Milwaukee areas & they all say it is SOP? Thanks.

Check in with Dockside in Wilmington, il, Hexco in Oshkosh, WI or Ecklund in Appleton, WI
Unfortunately, my go to's have been sold out for a few weeks.
You may have to say "I will pay X plus tax and reg. Take it or leave it.

We have a bingo. Talked with Mark yesterday about snow checking a 2020 MXZ TNT. To be honest when you take into account the "hidden fees" other dealers want to charge for a 2019 holdover & you take into account the fact that you can get up to 4 years of warranty with a 2020, the 2020 is a better deal. The wife & I are thinking real hard about pulling the trigger. No matter what Mark is a nice guy & runs a good dealership.

May I ask what is a 2020 TNT going for with the 4 year warranty with no tax or reg? If I get one I have the $500 accessory coupon too which is a Doo extra and can't be bought down.

As an FYI, you can buy out of those extra years of warranty for $250 a year (make it a normal one year warranty and deduct $750).
