I have been watching ATV prices for 4 months, and I have seen an increase in used ATVs come on market. One ad even stated, "lost job, must sell". Polaris had a $500 rebate on SP500 HO in sept-Oct period, and Arctic Cat wouldn't bring out IRS because they couldn't make money at the Polaris prices. What is the market like in your area? I had pretty much resigned myself to a used one because of budget constraints. If the new ones aren't moving, I'd pay $3-400 extra for new. Is this end of hunting season dump the ATV time? Do you think the new prices will fall, too?

Yes, after making a few calls in the Las Vegas area, I gave up on saving $$ by driving from Phoenix to NV to make purchase. What are the out the door prices for arctic cats in OR? I want IRS and caan't afford the Grizzly. Have you considered Utah? I saw some decent prices on a forum board in Aug for Artic cats Arctic cat Alpine Powersports

Hi Folks,

I am finding that Nevada prices are much higher (before considering the sales tax hit) than OR or in a few cases N. Cal. I will be, like many I know, going to OR for a new Yamaha or Arctic Cat this weekend. I am a small businessman and would rather deal locally however, at least in the Reno market there are no dealers that do not markup, charge for assembly, paperwork (ATV&39;s are not registered in NV) etc. I will save at least $1,000 by driving north for a few hours...

I have not found any recent price cuts and a few Yamaha deals have increased prices $50 - $75 in the last week or so.

Good Luck!
Tom
