I like that! The '17 RR turbo they are selling me for $14,500 and the '18 Sno Pro is $14,700. How much you selling that sled for?

Good dealership overall.....They always have a bunch of sleds at the Milw. snow show. Bought my AXYS from them based on price even though I don't live near them.
There is something to be said for buying near where you either live or ride....especially on a Cat...What that is worth will vary from one owner to another.

Build quality on the ACs has improved since they got in bed with Yamaha for the first Yamacats of 2014. I agree that dealers are important. However there are simply less dealers to choose from. Around here anyway. AC has been trimming dealers in recent years. The smaller ones are almost all gone. A person pretty much has to travel to a big box dealership. I am driving 487 miles to Kip's to buy my new Sidewinder. I don't care about the miles - it will be a roadtrip. Hope to meet up with a few fellow John Dee guys out there and plan a few rides in Mich. So it is a worthwhile trip. Not too concerned with Sidewinder having major issues. There were very few issues with the 2017s and they changed virtually nothing for 18.

5 hours 15 min drive (325 mi.) for me to pick up my sled from Kip.
Usually I'm looking to get every last little incentive and rebate, usually non current new. But this time went all out on a current/ snow check special.

That’s not good news for the Milwaukee Show, they were definitely one of the largest vendor setups at the show last year.
Belvedere, IL has a pretty neat and growing outdoor snowmobile show and grass drags too, some dealers are there, much less expensive venue.
