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 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.

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.

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.

Thanks.

For what you get on an XMR the price is in the ballpark of other wheelers.

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.
