Another Slingshot Post

[Joe T.]

I visited Bert's Mega Mall in Azusa, CA last Sunday to see the three Slingshots they had on the floor. My photos are not very good. But, the last one is quite interesting!


First 3 of 4:

Now, number 4, very interesting:

They must be coming from Russia by land and need to be hand assembled by BERT'S!!!

Looks like the old dealer markup thing to me. Get it anyway you can, if you can. We will see how many they sell with $2K freight and $2K handling added to them.

Shades of the PT Cruiser when they first were offered for sale.

Plus $2K Handling!! $4K in total 'dealer markup!!'

Were I to encounter the situation. Not only no, but heck no.

I think that my language would stray a bit further toward the obscene side of the dictionary...


...Just like those charges!

..............I'm confused Bob ......You are a STAUNCH supporter of BRP Can-Am dealers doing the EXACT same thing !!!!!...........So why is this wrong for a Polaris dealer to do this ???????.........................................Mi ke

Over 4 grand for shipping and prep?
BRP does nothing even close to that!

[SAPD911]

And it ain't even a motorcycle!

It's new, exciting, wild, in high demand why not shoot for the moon. Now they can make you a deal and knock off a chunck and make you feel good...but I agree..

SlingShot seems to be off to a huge running start... here's an interesting take on it...

Wow not my kind of dealer for certain. But they say there is one born every minute.

...........BRP, actually doesn't do either one Bob.......................These are totally made up charges by some DEALERS ...............................Mike

In that case; what's your point?

At Tri County Polaris for $23,999 and a WV docking fee of about $40, I don't remember the exact amount. Very nice people to deal with.
I went to register it today and found that it is classified as an Autocycle in VA and only requires a normal drivers license to operate it and a Spyder requires a M, M2 or M3 license. I love the Slingshot but it is in addition to and not replacing the Spyder.

I would be glad to but I haven't gotten around to learning how to post pictures.
