Prices for any vehicle made in North America should be the same. It's time to bring the Canadian prices down to match the American prices. To me- a dollar is a dollar. Especially now that our dollar is more.

Thanks fundy trail, you saved me some time and effort. Our money is getting back out there and its getting to the right places, the clubs.

I do agree with you about supporting our dealers or we will lose them. The only one we have left in our immediate area right now
is a Yamaha dealer, Cat, Pol, and Doo all gone. I did however give my head a shake when I read that BRP is protecting us.
With the prices of sleds in Canada compared with the same models in the States no wonder people want to buy there. We are not
just talking a couple of hundred bucks, we are talking thousands of dollars on each model that is from a Canadian company.
I'm sorry but I am not ready to feel all warm and fuzzy about BRP looking out for me just yet!

Antigonsh got $2000 not $2500.

The Dealers make hardly anything on the sale of sleds.
Their bread and butter comes from service and the price of parts.
So how can BRP be protecting us if the Dealers aren't getting any breaks
from the Manufacturers?

why is it that our goverment gives BRP tax credits forgiveable loan ETC. and US people get the breaks

The goverment gave the tax breaks and loans to Bombardier not BRP.They are two separate companies now.When they were part of bombardier all the tax breaks and loans were for building airplanes not snowmobiles.

Joker, some of what you said is true, but that split was only a few years ago, Bombardier (and BRP now) have been getting government money since the day they opened business. Quebec industry is highly subsidized, especially big companies like this that have a lot of government clout.

everything should be cheaper in canada, not the us since our dollar is more. brp is only helping themselfs get more $$... i think?

Yeah.. they are just trying to line their pockets. Its stealing in my opinion.

Come on bigmike they are BRP's dealers, selling BRP products, so BRP can stay in business. Why do we support them with our money when the company that is making the product does nothing for the dealer except say we won't let CDNs buy in the USA. Don't get me wrong we need our dealers, it would just be nice to see BRP feel the same way, and put some money where their mouth is. Talk is cheap and it will come back to haunt them.
