I am interested in either a SP700 or a SP500HO. What prices are people finding on the 2002 Sportsmans in other parts of Canada? The prices I am hearing quoted in lower New Brunswick do not seem to jive with the list prices shown in US dollars on the Polaris website. The SP700 lists for $7399US and the SP500HO lists for $6999US (i.e. a 700 is only 5.7% more than a 500). Locally I am told best price on a SP700 is $9500Cdn plus tax (cash, no trade)and a SP500HO is $8500Cdn plus tax (cash, no trade). That has SP700 almost 12% more than a 500, plus the winch is available no charge on the 500 but it cost another $500+ on the 700. This much higher cost makes it difficult to choose a 700 which is my preference.

What gives? Is the 700 over priced because local dealers think they can make gross profits because its new, or is the 500HO under priced?

 

i dont know about canada,,,but i gave 6800.00 for my 700sp..

 

In the US, I haven't seen anyone selling the sp500 at retail. I have seen them between $6400-$6600 with the winch. The 700 for around $7100-$7250 with no winch. So I would say that is about the same as in Canada. I went threw the same problem and ended up finding a 02 sp500 with a winch, Brush guard bumper, 26" Mudrunners on chrome rims and heated hand grips for $5850 with only 165 miles. So saving over $1200 and getting all the goodies with the 500 over the 700, it was a no brainer. I bought the 500.
