Alpha rebate canceled today no warning??

cycology1 · Jan 16, 2019

Hey

anyone else been thinking about picking one up? all sales stuff says $1500 off 2019 alphas til end of month. working w my dealer and today hear the rebate was instantly canceled via email announcement early today

this normal or due to textron money?

any ideas? plead case to customer care?

thx

Ended at midnight according to my local dealer.

Yup, one of the dealers here got it last night. Only excludes the Alphas though

Well, that makes waiting until next year a much easier decision. I was getting VERY close to picking up a 2019. That's too bad.

I picked up my new Alpha One last Thursday, 3 days after the rebate was announced. Glad I did it quickly! I was at my dealer today picking up a couple things and they told me I was the only one from their dealership that got in on the rebate. Others were thinking about it but lost out.

Wow.....

cycology1 · Jan 16, 2019

Yeah, bait and switch! haha. I actually heard from a dealer that the offer was mistake. was looking at other brands, until I had more time to research the alpha1. Was ready to pull trigger Friday.

wonder if calling customer support would be worthwhile? odd that they don't honor their own advertising/marketing material. same thing, guess now im not in a hurry...maybe 2020 will have a couple updates or deals in spring.

thx

Looks like Country Cat hasn't gotten that memo yet.

Glad I jumped on that quick! Saw it anounced last monday and had one by wednesday lol This thing is sweet!

That would explain the sudden increase in much more affordably priced new units popping up for sale on FB/CL last week.

Glad I grabbed mine too last week!! Saved a lot of money. Going blow it on mods though.

Buy high and sell low. Never have a problem buying or selling anything.

Time to close out this thread...A1 in the driveway. great
buying experience overall..now to learn to ride.

do wonder if a standard MC would have been more all around, but I've got some ideas

If they don't give rebates in January they won't move any sleds. Almost anyone buying a sled for full price has done so by xmas. After that it's buy a new one next season or a hold over. So the only way to move them is to discount them. If you're silly enough to snowcheck I have no idea why this would bother you. You want the latest and greatest for a fair price, don't see that ever happening...

My last snowcheck on a 17 mtn cat came with a 4 year warranty, motofist boots and full riding gear. No different than getting a rebate
