This is in no way a dis of the AC. I have spent the last couple months investigating different atvs as I intend buy one soon. I wanted to see and ride an ac 500 Cat. Dealers are realy hard to find. The dealer in my area that is listed on the AC web site no longer sells them. I have talked to two other dealers that also are dropping them. They all say the same thing... the AC is a good machine but not enough diffent than their other brands. It seems AC's problem is a week dealer orginization and from here it looks like it's getting worse. Just FYI.

 

In my opinion, Arctic Cat & Suzuki need more advertising. They also need "something" new to get people interested in their products. Maybe Arctic Cat is spending their research & development dollars on the snowmobile's. Both make good quads so reliability isn't an issue.

 

Well, I am lucky to have 3-4 dealers that sell Arctic Cat ATV's within a 30 mile radius of where I live. Their is Gresser's of Cold Spring, Pro Cycle in Sauk Rapids, Jim's of Holdingford, and I think Miller Marine in St.Cloud might still sell them also. Otherwise you can look up a dealer and service center where they make them at Thief River Falls, MN. The website is: www.Rvsports.com They might be able to give you the lowdown on the dealer situation Good Luck!

 

I don't have that problem in SouthWestern Ontario, I have three cat dealers within a half hours drive. One Honda dealer, two for Polaris, three Suzuki, two Yahama, and only one Kawasaki. It's seems odd to have only one Kawi dealer, when they say kawi and cat have the same market share at 5%.
