You get to be the first in line when they stick ya in the keister.
I got a longer warranty when I checked my 08.

It used to be that you got a better waranty, better shocks and graphics and usually something like a jacket or credit toward gear. Now I think it is just a matter of warranty because the same sleds are available at the beginning of the winter.

It has always been two years as far as I know...
My 2007 D7 got four years. That was nice because it helped me sell it down the road.

4 yrs. or 2 yrs + $700 towards accessories
Or just wait till January and pay two or three thousand less on a new sled. Snow Check is the biggest joke Polaris has. They used to guarantee the best pricing of the year for Snow Checked machines, now you basically get hosed for full price by Snow Checking, but if you wait till mid season Polaris and it's dealers will be giving sleds away at yard sale prices. I will never snow check another machine until Polaris guarantees that to be the lowest price, and agrees to pay back the difference when they dump their inventory in mid season.

In 01 I paid 5800(snow check) for a Edge 600 and got 5300 on trade less than 1 year later on a new 02 Pro x 440, and I have bought 3 new sleds since then and never came out that good, If you could upgrade every year and only lose 500 bucks its a nobrainer, even a thousand dollars and I would buy a new one every year but now its more like 1500 or 2g every year with nothing special for snow check.

I've bought a new sled three years running and still own all of them (largely due to the pathetic trad-in values). $hit, I'm presently trying to negotiate trading my 09 Assault with hardly 1100 miles for a new Pro RMK and hoping for a mere $6500 real dollars for it in trade. Yeah, it has a few marks from boondocking but it's in superior mechanical shape. Reality is, the depressed value of trades versus the inflated value of the new sleds will probably prohibit me from having a new Pro RMK out of principle. If I must, I can justify that my old 08 D7 with PCV, pipe can, Holz suspension and a list of other goodies ALMOST compares. But I want it so bad!!!

Agree With it all. I want one also,but still scares me with all the problems with the assualts. my.02

This sled is driving me nuts!!
I completely disagree with the 2-3 grand in price difference. I paid $10,285 OTD for my SC'd Dragon. I guarantee that nobody was getting anywhere that type of discount.

Me too! Love it, badd azz for sure.:face-icon-small-hap
I'm not sold on Snow Checking, it seems the incentives are getting weaker and weaker. If you have the cash and can make a decent trade go for it. If not, wait and see. I do agree that this year with the Pro RMK being brand new there probably won't be any laying around to be discounted in mid season.

passed on a 2010 D8 155 for $9800 in 1st half of Jan. 2010 (dealer in MN). They also had an Assault, same price. Seems to me that the mid-season price is WAY better than the snow check.
Sxriar: I agree to. Hope some dealers order up a bunch of the black/silver pro-ride 800 155's, then sell them for $9800 like they tried to last year! Can't wait to ride one

According to my local Polaris dealer he was told that with a planned lower production run of the Polaris Proride RMK 155's like the 600 last year and a healthy or good snow year with good ride reliability reports on the sled like we have seen so far will make the value hold strong and the prices high.
I also agree with Ron that snow checking one will be the best way to be sure you can get one! If you look back the discounts have never been available on the first few years of a newly redesigned sled until they have been over produced and inventory has built up over a few year period.
Polaris uses the same style games on all the new released products from the atvs, sleds, victorys, etc. They sure do know how to get the motorsports or recreational users attention though. Yes they might know marketing better then building 800 Dragons IMO.
