Polaris UTV negotiation

[VikingsGuy]

I am in the process of negotiating out the door price on a new Polaris Ranger 1000. Both dealers have given me the pretty much a standard msrp + shipping + processing + doc fees + prep fees number. One did give me 10% off on the “attachments” (front/rear windows, top & winch). We are talking about $21k all in as a starting point. For those with experience negotiating with Polaris dealers, what type of room do they have to move? 10%? 5%? None? More?

What say you?

why buy a new UTV when you could blow that 21k on applying in every western state + alaska and draw nothing instead?

My standard offer on vehicles is 15% off of the listed price. Sometimes they take it, but at the least, they make a counter. In your case, I'd round it off to $18k.

That sounds like a good starting price, but it can't hurt to ask for less. In the last few years it has been hard to negotiate with inventor so low.

Good luck...

Toy and auto dealers aren't doing much blinking currently.

Well, if there was ever a man for the job.
Poor dealer’s about to lose his ass.

Yes good luck. I bought a new wheeler last fall. They wouldn’t budge. Said we will just sell it to the next guy.

One of the dealers here gave me a better price than all of the others. PM me if you want their info. You could price check with them.

Most of the ones I’ve worked with are over MSRP due to inventory shortage, so MSRP seems like a good deal over on this side of the world.

I get ads all the time telling me to use the Sams club buying program but I haven’t tried it. I think Costco has something similar.

Prices on used UTVs is finally starting to come down.

I have seem a few rebate programs on some of the less popular Polaris machines starting to pop up as well.

Ya, apparently they are trying to clear out for ’24 models and there is a $1500 remote already built in.

They were able to command higher prices and sell them before they arrived but that's over now. Let them see each other's email. They can bid against until they hit a limit.

I know a guy that does the whole email thing every time he buys a new vehicle. It certainly worked for him in the past.

Offer them a pack of Paul Malls, a 40 ounce Mickey's Big Mouth & a cassette of Prince's classic album, Purple Rain.

That's a good trade.

Saw this one in coverage of Overland Expo......fully optioned is was just below 60K.....FFS there are people out there with a LOT more money than sense. https://www.polaris.com/en-us/off-r...IgaeXodzQKrMybHEUhpQnxiDBvOz4lC8aAkweEALw_wcB

We have folks coming into the gun shop trying to deal. I have to explain that 1) Margins on guns are pretty low to begin with and that 2) people are currently buying a LOT of guns. It is all about the market.

Difference between invoice and msrp is less than 10%, more like 7-8%, not a lot of wiggle room for the dealers. Pretty much everything goes for msrp more likely to get discounts on accessories bought at the time of sale.

God that's true! Just made a deal on a new pickup it's definitely a seller's market.

 

[rogerthat]

Has anyone considered telling these dealers we are in a recession?

People are seeing through the paper tiger supply BS.

Now is the time to bust these dealer's balls just as hard as they've been busting the consumer's the last three years.
