right now i am looking for a 2004 mxz rev 800x. through a lot of thinking and decision making, i have decided that this is what i want and its in my price range, but for the past two months i have been seriously shopping and having real hard time finding one that is a decent price. am i just getting a little too anxious and maybe i should wait longer, or is it time to break down and pay more?

i wouldn't wait too much longer honestly , cause usually right now is the time to buy them , pretty soon that nagotiating to lower the price will be gone cause the seller will know that if you don't buy it for their price ; many more will be around after you to take a look :beerchug:

If you feel you've shopped around enough, pick the one you think is the best and grab it........"mid Oct" I think prices will only go up from here on out till the end of the season.

Sold mine for 8500.
Low kms, clutch kit, 1.25 track with studs, SUPER CLEAN.

ya i am gunna have to get it done then i called on one today i was gunna go buy it came on the auto trader just today i called at about 1230 and it was already sold.

Try using ebay, I buy all my sleds there in the USA, great selection.

how is it getting them through the border any problems? do u just go and pick them up? i noticed they had a good selection but i thought it might be a pain to get them across. i leave fairly colse to detroit in fact i work in windsor so this would be ideal if it is convient.

my thought is while the guys advertising now will hold thier price, more will be on the market if you wait 3 weeks. people don't start advertising and thinking snow till the air gets crisp.

alright well maybe im just getting anxious... i just envisioned shopping for this sled would be easy, and actaully maybe fun but its not turning out like that lol. its kinda nerve racking right now cause i know i could never settle for less tahn what i want.

Call St Onge Recreation in Barrie to see what they have around.
Scott

ya if you haven't found one yet, I'd suggest calling St. Onge aswell... it's a bit of a drive, but they always seem to have a huge selection, I can go and look for you later today if you like... I live close to there... let me know
Kevin

I second or third or whatever St. Onge....my buddy bought his 04 MXZX800 from Machine Racing last year, got a smokin deal on it...maybe give them a call to?

ya i am defiantly going to give them a call. i dont mind the drive as long as its worth the deal, heck i drive that far plus a lot further to ride a lot of times so...lol

Check with the skidoo dealer in Haliburton (Kawagama). My buddy bought 2 used REV's from there last year at a really good price! They were rentals.

I habe a buddy with an 03 for sale.

i called st. onge and they didnt have any 800's right now but they saud it chages every week so i might call back this week again. thanks though they do have a huge selection!

Watch the U.S. sites I bought Rob's 04 GSX Limited in mint mint condition for $5,000 CANADIAN.

check with A & K recreation...ask for ART he is the owner, they are wholesalers and buys hundreds of sleds from now till christmas at auctions all over, tell him what you want, and he will find it for you - usually cheaper, can't comment on condition of sleds

check out sleddepot.com, they are just north of toronto and are great to deal with. they don't usually get too many 800's anymore though. most sleds are from quebec. also look up location haute matawinie in quebec. they deliver the sleds all along the 401 into the states. most are rental sleds. again great to deal with and about $500 cheaper than sled depot which is cheaper than dealers.

Be prepared to rebuild motors and shocks from the depot sleds, they usually have a lot of KM's on them, and you never know how many kms they "really" have. As for salt damage, they are usually super clean as they dont get trailered that much out there, just be aware of what you are getting, and when you see the price, if you think you'l be able to talk them down...forget it, there prices are good, and if you try to get it cheaper..they'll just sell to the next city slicker!!

If anyone knows of any good deals up in the Sudbury area , be sure to let me know . Nothing older than 2000 either .

This guys has some descent prices on newer machines, located in stratford. Seems like a good guy, almost got a sled their but sold the one I wanted a few hours before I got there.

My neighbor has one for sale . Think he wants $ 7500

Check out Mikes Bikes(Lakeland)

They have a sweet Black 2002 Renegade 700 for around $5000ca

or better yet mine might be up for sale if I don't get another job soon :cn: hrs got cut back to less then 30 a week :banghead:

Ya I seen that Renegade ... I was over there today looking at the sleds he's got . It's in pretty good shape ... it would only need a ski ( right ski is cracked) and there's a crack in the plastic .

Where do you work?? If you're good with parts and know your sleds , I can give you a contact for a guy I know at AE . You can probably get on full time in the parts department there . Royal is always hiring also . LOL

My cousin Gilles used to work as the parts guy at A&E when it 1st became the Doo dealer 3yrs ago but ended up getting a job in the mines

Guys at work has a new set of Flex ski shoes for sale,He got a Yellow pair when he bought the sled and still has the black pair

Cartronics in Napanee, Ont. 613-354-5222 ask for Jeff. They have several 800s. Tell him Craig told you to call.
