I tell ya. These Polaris' are more trouble than they are worth! I've had this Sportsman for a year and a half. That thing has cost me 3-4 oil changes and a WHOLE tube of grease. That's like $50 in 16 months! What a pain in the butt!

And don't get me started on the TrailBlazer. A couple of months ago, I had to perform the scheduled tranny fluid change. That was like 8 bucks for the oil and took AT LEAST 10 minutes of time out of my life in the 3 months that I've owned it.

These things are worthless! I wish I could just get rid of them both. The thing is, the dealer will happily take them on trade toward a new one. He seems to believe he has no trouble re-selling them. What does he know? He's just a dealer. Besides that, I would have to physically load them on the trailer myself and haul them up there.


Any other Polaris owners feeling my pain?

Boy, if you think Polaris is a rip off, then you should see my Ford. Why, imagine if you will, I actually have to put gasoline in the tank to make it go. Not to mention the oil changes every 3000 miles, insurance, registration, drivers license and brakes when it needs it.

Now that you mention it, my house is pretty high maintaince too. I can't believe that I ACTUALLY have to pay for water, sewage, electricity, phone bill, property taxes, oil for heating not to mention the various repairs I have to do on it from time to time. Geez what a rip off. Perhaps I should go home and live with my parents. I never had to do ANY of this when I lived with them.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Ah, Polarisman3....they're being sarchastic...joking. Sorry if I missed your joke.

I even had to check the air in my tires.....my quad was riding REALLY stiff...the tires were flat. Now I need to go after the tire manufacturer for the cost of my rims.

Yeah, and on top of all those oil changes, air pressure checks and keeping gas in it I also have to pull my buddies out of mud holes when they follow me on my Sportsman..... Sometimes I drag my strap out 3 or 4 times a day to pull someone out. I wish I would have never bought a POLARIS.
