Howdy all......an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal.......NoJoke

After Cutting Inventory, Polaris Struggles to Meet Demand - WSJ.com

 

nothing companies do right now in this crappy ression would suprise me to stay in bussiness and try to keep thier profits up.

 

I like the idea of them allowing dealers to order every few weeks rather than semi-annually. That's got to be a relief to the dealers to not have to try to anticipate demand months ahead of time.

 

I love trhe part of men telling thier wives that they need it to do work. I have no Idea what they are talking about. wink wink.

 

Its something to hear that their sales have doubled since fall? I assume its mainly
do to Polaris ever popular SP500 HO? That should say something to Polaris about
some of the pricing on its super models too.

Umm no dont you like buying last years models for a reduced price

 

That polaris dealership they are talking about in MN is 5 miles from my house. The scary part is that even thought they can order every few weeks, they haven't gotten their orders form Jan.. Maybe with the move to Mexico, they can fill the orders faster.(ha ha).........

 

I thought about that. I do like to buy "last years models". I just got the Renegade that way with my son. Knocked about $800 off the price. On the other hand if it means the dealerships are going to start going out of business, I'd rather pay a couple hundred to have the dealership nearby. Gas is expensive too. It's kind of a toss-up feeling wise.

 

That Polaris lost, If I wanted a New ATV today and the Polaris dealer did not have one ,Id have a Yamaha,Suzuki,Can AM or Kawasaki in the back of the truck by days end.

 

There is nothing worse than WAITING to ride you new wheeler!! I would be finding a dealer that had the machine I wanted. When I bought my XP, I wanted a stealth black one and the dealer I went through made a fewe calls and found EXACTLY what I wanted. So in that aspect there is nothing keeping the dealer from finding these machines when someone wants one bad enough... That being said, it's still not right that they have to wait for polaris to deliver the new ATV 13 weeks after they are ordered!!! It is just bad for business.
