New guy in Ak.

Long time reader, first time poster.

Joined because I almost bought a 2015 XMR.

Unfortunately, the 2 dealers close to me here in Alaska seem to believe charging almost $1000 over MSRP will make them money. And I have heard nothing good about service or their price for it. There are other dealers in the state that I would deal with, but they are 5-6 hours away. So I'll not buy a Can Am. I like my Grizzly but need another atv and wanted a V-twin.

There is a lot of good info/people on this forum and it has been very helpful in my search. Thanks for all the help!!!

Welcome
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum. :th_smiliethumbsup:

Sorry to hear that the closer dealerships want to charge you a grand over MSRP, that's crazy!

Yeah, the 2 others were at MSRP and a 3rd pretty close. Just to far away.

I keep coming back here to read how everyone loves their XMR.

I just bought a 15 1000 Xmr. It was $15183.00. My closest dealer was asking MSRP, but they weren't giving me enough on trade on a 15 Outlander L 450 DPS Camo. Had 15 minutes on it. I won this one from Can-Am. The dealer I went with gave me more on a trade for that one. That's why I went with them instead. Bottom line I saved more on the more expensive quad. Wish I would have read these forums before hand. Feel like I definitely got screwed. Love the Xmr though.

I feel your pain Justaguy. Every time I shop for something new in town I end up going through the same hassles.

Fortunately, I found a deal but I did have to travel to get it.

Posting pictures of yours isn't help me. :th_smilielol:

If I trusted the local clowns for service it would be an easy fix to drive the six hours to buy it.

At least some in the state don't rape the customer.
Welcome...love my xmr! I hope it works out and you can get one..
A guy I know has me so worried about Can Am reliability no good service close by makes it a deal breaker.
Yea, I hear your concerns. What part of the state do you live in? I'm in the interior. I doubt I'd settle on those prices either
Plenty of competition out there these days. You'll also be happy if you go with a Yamaha. I own one and it is a nice ATV too. I did almost go with another Yamaha but found a nice deal on the XT.

I already have a Gizzly 700 but I need a second wheeler.
Welcome to the site.
Thanks.

For what you get on an XMR the price is in the ballpark of other wheelers.
Welcome from Connecticut !!
Thanks, a lot of good information in these threads.
Let us know what you decide or we can help
I'll be out of town for a couple weeks. Hopefully I'll have a master plan by then.
Looks like I should wait to see what 2016 has to offer. Hopefully it won't be long.
