Any of you fellas trying to sell your sleds and having any interest? Used market has slowed down for sure with a ton of 2023's around with nice factory incentives, Polaris knows it's gonna take some bait to move sleds now. I've had my '22 for sale now for 5 weeks, had 1 call on it, already lowered my price to what I'm seeing in the market between dealers and marketplace, figured a sled with 2.5 years warranty left would move quick, not yet anyways.

Mines been at the dealer since April nothing yet, my snow checks in waiting for the old one to sell. I’ll give it till November if nothing I’ll just take my old one back.
I have a 2020 xcr 128 with 5900 miles, have it listed at $9500. With warranty until december of this year. I rode it for 400 miles yet last year before my 23 showed up. Anyways, when I had it priced at $10,5000 I was getting bites but my 23 wasnt in yet and I wasnt going to let it go tell it was in. Once my 23 showed up in January I got serious about selling and the bites dried up. Even at $9500 I havnt had any serious interest. Sleds is damn near perfect, no rust, pull outs in track, and a few lugs starting to rip. All shocks rebuilt and re-valved, hd torsions, clutching, etc. I am dumbfounded that I am not even getting any low ballers.
Im in the same boat, 23 Lynx is coming but if the '22 xcr doesn't move I'll keep it, its a great sled.
Well, when the exact same sled I bought 4 years ago with 240 miles on it for $9000 is now on the market with 2800 miles for $9200, no, I'm not buying into that.
My well maintained sleds will remain under my butt, even if I have to spend ~$1800 to make it like new again (track, most bushings, shocks rebuilt, new/rebuilt clutches, bearings, etc) I'm still WAAAAAAY ahead in my mind than a new sled I would have to re-customize to my liking with different storage options, windshield, on and on.

Sleds really have not changed a lot the last couple of years (except the price). I don't see any new technology that I have to have. I'll still be riding my late delivery 22 until something changes.

That's my ad, it's priced where I see similar sleds for sale at dealers and on Clist, and FB Marketplace, and I would throw in 2 gal of Polaris extreme, Polaris cover and a small windshield with red base, thats $650 in extras to fluff the deal.
Sorry, Yes it was a Pro R, 137 track. WE shocks with rebound control. Polaris removable 2 up seat

If I had a possible interest in a newer machine, interest rates and a product manufactured during covid would scare me out of the sale.
It may be running excellent now, but longevity of it? I know it's a sled and takes a beating(and sometimes always a gamble), but I know manufactures were scraping the bottom of the barrel to get whatever parts they could receive to keep the assembly line moving. I know my company did the same thing. We used parts that we have no history of. A little scary there.
I know a warranty helps with that confidence though.

Over priced sleds and a winter ahead that’s predicted to be junk (unless you believe the farmers almanac) means sleds aren’t moving. I think the cheapest sleds will get sold in the next month or so but that’s it. Used newer sled value has tanked, especially with the Boost.
I'd say the Boost's used value has tanked, I don't think the Boost coming out has tanked the NA 850's value, I personally wouldn't want a boost, would love 180 NA HP but no hair dryer for me on a 2 smoker, I think the left over supply of 23's and high interest rates (relative to the last few years anyways) and just the higher price of newer used or new sleds for such a short season sport is killing the values. I thought when I spring ordered my sled between the color combo, model, and 7S it be a breeze to sell, turns out nobody gives a shit about any of those attributes.
This is the biggest challenge anyone selling a sled right now will run into. People are still boating for the most part. Once you start seeing the temps drop and snow on the ground, activity usually picks up.
NICE purchase. I'm seeing a LOT of sled prices coming down in a hurry compared to the last 2-3 seasons. There are some nice deals to be had out there again. Finally...
I think with the rising cost of living, high interest rates especially on mortgages has people scared to spend on toys. My buddy owns a boat and Powersports dealership and says his sales are very low this summer.
Heading to haydays to buy my wife a newer sled. It's going to be a good year to buy a newer sled with the 24s already rolling in. Multiple 2023 Indy sp 650s for 10,500 in my area low miles. And those came standard with estart. I bet with how long they have been sitting a guy might be able to talk one of them down a grand. At least 4 of them for sale pretty close by.
It was predicted here, new sleds price was too high, so trying to sell it used at a decent price would be difficult.
But, it is happening a year early, I would have expected it more with the extremely high price of the 24 models.

That's completely regional, if Michigan has a shit winter and Maine has an epic one, Maine's prices should be ok as far as the weather variable, all the other variables will effect the used market regardless, overstock, high interest rates, sledder frustration, recalls, ect.
I had my 19 assault up for sale on marketplace at the end of last season when I decided that I was going to snowcheck a 24.
Had a bunch of initial interest while there was still snow on the ground, then as the temps climbed... the interest went away faster than the snow.
I will put it back for sale in October or November when the temps start to fall again.
I believe seasonal timing is everything on selling things... never easy to sell a swimming pool in February.

I'll throw what I'm seeing in the VT market in here since I started looking in the last couple weeks. My dealer won't come off MSRP on the '24 XCR 650 I ordered, after tax/tag it's a whisker over $19k OTD which just doesn't make sense for what will technically be my spare/backup sled so I'm searching the used market.
-Boost resale is horrible. There's a ton out there for $19-20k that have been listed since the spring. Dealers in this area have an alarming amount of '23 holdover Boosts which won't help any used Boost sale since both will have 1 year of warranty. There's a couple of 3-4K mile Boosts for $16k'ish which is a decent deal in my eyes, but I think buyers are scared of that mileage on a "newer" engine platform.
-Tons of XC's out there, I mean tons. And they're all trying to get $1-2k less than a brand new one while their used one has 1500-2k miles and basically no warranty left.
-Anything spring ordered/desirable combo is priced too high/too close to a new one for it to make any sense.
-There's a few reasonable priced sleds on marketplace, but I've reached out trying to buy them and the people either don't respond or act really weird.
-650's are still harder to find in anything other than an XC, and most are 136's.
Simply put, I think the whole market is inflated/overpriced and everyone is trying to not lose their shirt...but in the end I bet a lot of people are going to get stuck holding the bag on a lot of their machines. I'm unsure of how the new market will correct as an OEM going backwards on price isn't going to happen. Used will correct eventually when people need to get out from under their sled and just bite the bullet on taking the losses.
All that said, if anyone has a sub 2k mileage, 128/9", 650/850 VR1/XCR with 7s for a reasonable price within a 6hr drive from VT shoot me a PM.

Am I overpriced at $13,500 for a '22 XCR 850 with 3860 miles and 2.5 years of warranty left? Has upgrades and extras come with it, christ I'm not giving the thing away when a 24 is 19k, Id let it sale for 13k, other than that I'll ride it, still makes me smile every time I ride it. What an addiction, should've got into coke instead!
If a person isnt brand bias, they can get a new 23 Doo 850 for $12,500.00...Although all the Warren Buffets around here who claim they paid cash for their sled, reality is financial institutes track these things...The actual number for powersports toys is 80+% are financed...That also plays into the used toy market...No doubt there are people underwater on their sled financing...Anyone want to venture a guess which manufacturer of a powersports toy has the most loan defaults?
I think you are spot on with price, just give it a month. Seems like sled sales really start to heat up around haydays time. No one wants to find room to store them during the summer, but haydays starts the itch, and guys really start thinking about sleds as the leaves begin to turn.
Mine's paid for, put 10k down and financed the rest at 0% for 12 months through Sheffield, made sure I had it paid off in 11, I love the 0% game, just don't lose at it. And that Doo 850 at 12,500 which I don't see that in New England is for an adrenaline which is comparable to an XC, there 14-14,500 around here right now.
