Bring on the 2019 Snow Check swag!
Will there be a in season 840 released???
- Thread starter edgey
- Start date
As long as it's not a nasty surprise! (First year teething problems.)
That's what I was thinking..:yuck: OR..... maybe you get you name on a gold plate like you did back on the 90's model SC sleds....with a jacket..lovely......:camera:
I love the Golden Ticket!
If true and I don't have my snow check by dec1 my lawyer will be sending my dealer a letter.
?? The 850 Doo was a full release, snowcheck and in season. Same as always, X Models snowcheck only. SP models regular in season.
I can see that, my dealer Snowchecked 2 Poo sleds last year. Why snowcheck when you can buy a new one in January for $9000? And everyone knows it, I have several friends that just wait until Jan and buy cheap. Dealer filled his allotment easily this year with the 850. There won't be any 850 Poos available, they are gold. Dealer had one legit backout this year and people were fighting over it. Fines for dealers that fake snowchecked. Won't be an in season release.
Yes there has been SC back outs, there always is. And the dealers have lists of people waiting for them. Dealers were allowed a demo, to be sold at the end of the season after miles have been put on them. Now I do not think there was a contract they had to sign making sure they did not sell it early but they were suppose to be demos. You could choose what ever 850 model you wanted, some brought in RMK's and others brought in shorties. This is a big difference from floor room base model 850s being sold.
I guess I should have snow checked 2 then.
Ya I was super close! But still have my 18 build sooo
If the dealer is Carl's, I can see it. I was told that Jack had an 850 to ride last year. Way to piss off the other dealers, but Poo doesn't care about anything other than sales, and Carl's sells a lot of sleds.

The one that was sold was suppose to be their demo. I think the salesman was misinformed. In their defense how do you demo a mountain sled in eastern South Dakota.
The BD sled was built by Dakota Mod Shop and a demo can be set up if your serious about purchasing a Boondocker kit.
I was thinking that was there demo, also the other 4 sleds might be ghost snow checks and there using this story so no one gets mad.
How do u demo a turbo in eastern SD?

when they get told no 850s,wonder if the winter shopping masses will go home with a baby poo 800 or will they go buy a 850 doo or cat
I think anyone who is even remotely plugged in to the sled scene is aware that the 850 was SC only. They threw a lot of marketing around to drive that point home in the spring.
Personally I think it's a great program to make snowcheck more exclusive again. We are rolling in to this year with the lowest non-current inventory of several years. And the coolest new model year stock ever (as dealers were able to custom order many 800's with any combo of track, shocks, colours, bars, gauge, etc)...so that is a first. Used sleds are selling good, and holding a good price as well. All of this was a dream 3 years ago. For someone working in the industry, I think they're on to something this year (honest thoughts, not towing the corp. line). And all of that is a win for everyone....riders, dealers, corp.
I will say this being from the great state of Wisconsin, I was informed by 2 dealers that they had employees SC and backout. I was inquiring about an 800 RMK when they said that they had an 850 RMK if I was interested. However I have also heard that people who SC are being contacted to ensure what they ordered is accurate and potentially screen for fake SC's? I would be fine if they started offering a base model 850 in season next year but keep the high end 850's as snow checks to keep the used market value up. It helps both the dealers and the SC'ers because it keeps the used market high and the losses down. On the flipside the local dealer manager was one of the few who got to go to MN and test ride the new Indy and he said it was significantly more noticeable than the 800. When I was talking to him it almost sounded like there was more to that test day then they are allowed to talk about. Hopefully Polaris keeps rolling out the new products and ideas.
