Leftover older new stock is usually a chance to get a good deal. New is new, even if its last years model. And used is used once you buy it, I doubt there is much difference between a used 2016 and a used 2017 model. 5 years from now they will be worth about the same amount if you decide to trade it in or sell then. If you plan to keep it for a long time, then it really doesn't matter at all. The best deals come when a new model replaces an existing model and the dealer is trying to sell off the older models. I remember when the new 2016 Grizzly came out, the 2015's were discounted a lot. Same was with the leftover Sportsman 500 and 800 models that Polaris discontinued. The 2013 Brute Force 650 sra like mine(last year Kawasaki built it) was discounted similarly too.
