I have heard that guys are buying new Polarises over in Canada and saving BIG $$! Has anyone bought over there and what was the savings and any hassles getting it back across the border? What is the prices over there compared to in the US?

What model are you interested in? I can probably tell you the price in Canadian dollars.

Rob- thanks for the reply. I am looking at either the Explorer 400, the 500 Magnum or the 425 Expedition. Thanks Pete

One of the dealers where I live in New Brunswick (Canada) got his dealership yanked by Polaris for doing the same thing selling to people from the U.S because polaris sells the bikes to the dealers in Canada at a reduced rate to make them comparable to the other brands so people from the U.S where there dollar is worth so much more then the Canadian Dollar can get the bikes for alot less than they would pay in the U.S So anyways Polaris found out and got his dealership yanked so the moral is if you are up to this keep it quiet because this is a public forum and polaris sometimes browse through here and if they found out which dealership would sell to you they would get there's yanked so do it privately through E-Mail just tryin to help you out.

Have a good one

Pete, unfortunately I don't know specifics on those models. I do know that a Sportsman 500 sells for approx. $8400can in my neck of the woods. Then you have to ad on 15% sales tax in Ontario. I think a magnum 500 is about $500 less. I do know Scrambler 400 2X4 are around $6400 and TrailBlazer around $4700 if that helps any for comparison. You'll have to see exactly what the exchange rate is and check if you have to pay anything at the border. The closest dealer to you is Goertz Equipment in St. Catherines if you are located where I think you are. Ransomville NY has the big dirt track oval right? If you want the number for Goertz I can try and get it for you. That way you can call and get accurrate pricing on the models your interested in.

Good point ssjb1, but remember "privately" and "e-mail" are words that don't belong together!
