Reputable Can Am Dealer NW of Fort Worth

[sulaco]

I have 2 choices and don't know much about either dealers,...
C & S FUN CENTER
Henrietta TX 76365
These guys are about 47 miles away.
or
Freedom Power sports
Decatur TX 76234
10 miles from me

Has anyone dealt with Freedom,?I know they have places in the DFW area.

Hoping someone reads this and recommends one or maybe both,I have not purchased a Can Am as of yet,and Im leaning toward 2012 model,.Freedom Power sports seems to have a pretty good inventory of Can Am's.
But am also wondering who is reputable on the service side as well?If I can find a good Can Am Tech,..I dont mind driving to 47 Miles.

....Can't help with the Dealer thing, however regarding your choice of a 2012 model.....It has The V-twin engine.....and it will cost you lots more in maintenance than the newer 1330 Ace engine models that came out in 2014...........Yes, you save money in the purchase. But it really won't be as much as you think, 2014's and even 15's can be had for a couple thousand more than that 12..........I strongly advise testing something with the 1330 engine before you make your choice ......I've owned both types.....and you couldn't give me a V-Twin now........good luck.....Mike

Is Lewisville an option? Freedom has a dealership in Lewisville that sales Spyders. Is Arlington or Ft. Worth an option?

That's darn good advice Mike. Value after sale is also what he should look at, not just price. 90% of everyone I know wants the new front end suspension (steering) and the 1330 engine.

Louis Motorsports in Greenville has the best prices. Thirty miles SE of Dallas.

When you say costs more in maintenance,what do you mean?

When you say costs more in maintenance,what do you mean?

The maintenance interval is 4600 miles on the 2012 and 9300 miles on the 2014 so you have to change oil. filters etc twice as often, Also they try to slap you with a valve adjustment check on the 2012 every 12-14000 mile and that can cost $600 or more each time by itself.. no such adjustment necessary on 1330 engine in 2014 and forward. Also better gas mileage.. I am a high mileage rider and my 2014 annual operating costs were $3000 less than the same mileage ridden on the 2012

I second what Mike said, and with the 1330 engine you're not going to be hunting gas stations as soon as with a V-Twin. It's a great engine.

Not close too you but I will say BRADFORD MARINE Texarkana Tx. http://www.bradfordmarine.com
Talk to Tanner. Good lil ride but well worth it, service dept keeps me well informed, & the people are all good @ customer service they want to help not just sell. Pm me & might even get to meet up, fyi looking @ service to start the year right.

When I was shopping around the country for my 2015 RT, Freedom was the one place that I was going to buy from. They were great to work with on the phone, and very pleasant. They even emailed me a great proposal. I ended up buying from a store in Northern Arizona that was 140 miles away as opposed to nearly 1,000 miles to Texas. I was working with the Lewisville store. I would highly recommend them based on my experience.

Not sure about the Decatur location, but the Lewisville location was very bad, had multiple bad experiences and will not return. Try Richardson Motorsports or Louis Powersports in Greenville. Would also recommend the 1330 triple( 2014- present) over the older models. Good luck.
