One of my close friends is a Polaris dealer.

No dealers are happy with them right now.
Polaris is making them spend thousands of dollars on signage and other crap that will not help them all the while making it less profitable to sell one.
And on top of that they’re jacking up the prices so much that it will eventually hurt sales.

He’s actually seriously considering dropping them.

Cheapest side x side they have now will be 12k for the mid size if I remember right.

Tell that to dealers who only gave one brand not named polaris to sell

They make more money than ever to sell one. My discounts have gone feom 10ish% to 15ish% I spend a lot, but they don't like me that much.

Then he was never meant to be in business. One brand provided side by sides consistently through the pandemic. One brand has caught up to basically get you whatever you want. Cutting them would be slitting his own throat.

Unfortunately, the market headed that way. Polaris raised prices. Others raised the prices for dealers.

You think that sales guy cares about the quality difference between a yamaha and polaris? He only cares about which one puts money in his pockets.


I miss sub 10k side by sides. I don't miss shitty suspension, low power, being tippy, slow, and anything else about my old rhino

I can make it from my back door to 10 miles into the swamp in 15 minutes. On my rhino... That was almost an hour.

To be clear, I currently only have honda atvs, yamaha sidebysides, and my old ranger to work off of.

No brand loyalty here.
