Spent way too long at looking at different side-by-sides, finally settled on the Polaris Ranger 1000 XP. Shopping in Brookhaven and ATVzone in Roseland because both will let me get away with 1.5% Mississippi farm sales tax. For the life of me, I can’t get anybody to come off the sticker price. Am I just a bad negotiator?

Call sunrise Motorsports in Searcy, AR. Might be worth the drive. Saved me 2k two years ago. Worth calling for price comparison, if nothing else.

Bought an atv recently and had the same issue. Brookhaven acted as if it was a privilege to purchase something from them. I will never do business with them again.

I ended up at Honda of Covington and they at least beat Brookhaven’s price by $300 and paid sales tax.

Just have to be patient and let these dealerships earn customers business. Good luck.

Bought mine from ATV zone in Roseland. I was happy with my deal. They have rebates of $1500 on 2019’s if you can find one in stock.

What is sticker? Gills Powersports in Corinth has the Polaris 1000 XP Ranger for $14500.

If you're going to lie... Make it plausible.

Thanks. Their website is not up to date. Was just in there and called again, the only 2019 they have left is a high-lifter. Would love to jump on a 2019 XP Premium with rebate somewhere.

I’m in the same boat man. I’m looking at a 2020 North Star and dealers are not budging much.

There are enough baws willing to finance them at their price for 7 years that they politely decline your business.

Long term, the mule profx is an awesome machine with a great warranty.

I've already had the front diff replaced on my general due to a bum prop shaft seal.

Kawasaki will be my next fun side by side purchase unless Yamaha steps their game back up.

There is not as much margin on Polaris as you may think. Not surprising that dealers are holding their price. Especially on the Northstar units. Only so many out there and if you don’t buy it somebody else will.......soon

Winner winner chicken dinner. Best dealership around and I couldn’t beat their price anywhere. Give them a call. They have a huge inventory and I had no surprises when I picked it up. Good people.

About 13% on Polaris units.

Dealerships don’t budge much anymore on cars, atvs, boats. All the rebates and shite they offer pretty much ruined the art of negotiation

I’ve discovered none of them are. They leave sold merchandise in their online inventory list for God knows how long. Classic bait and switch, they know getting you in the door is half the battle.

In their defense, when I bought one 2 years ago, they were 1k cheaper than anyone. They did try to get a few things over on me, but you just have to pay attention when buying any vehicle. Every dealership is shady in some form.

I’ve noticed that with vehicles especially. They know customers are using the internet to shop so they put their best price online to get your attention and hopefully get you in the store. Not much wiggle room one you go to dealership.

I’ll just say this. I work in and around the motor sports industry and ATV Zone sells side by sides for their cost or below despite what you think. There are no margins. Money is made for them on accessories and warranty. This is 100% certain

This is the #1 dealer in the country for Polaris. You're not gonna get service if you buy it from 2 states away but thats a choice you gotta make.
