• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone else get an email with crazy pre-order pricing?

Hello fellow SpyderLover members,

I recently received an email from BRP (11/24/2021) encouraging me to pre-order my Spyder while there was still time. Since I had pre-ordered my 2022 back in August I wasn't concerned. However, I did click on few buttons and boy did I get a surprise. Speaking only for the RT line up prices had shot up $5800 for each of the RT, RTL and Sea To Sky models. The logistics or commodity fee has gone from $400 to $520. I did my due diligence by searching the BRP web site and the internet in general. I came up empty handed as to what was driving the huge increase in MSRP since August. Then I discovered another oddity. If you went in to the CanAm Spyder site via BRP.Com the information presented was the August MSRP pricing. Only if I researched pricing through the link in the email did I get the inflated prices. I had to make a trip to my dealer on 12/3 to pick up an oil change kit for my snowmobile so I showed him what I'd found. He was as befuddled as I was. His pricing showed nothing has changed since August. He made a query just for s--ts and grins. Low and behold he discovered that the pricing I was being linked to was Canadian pricing even though I'm a registered with a US address. Guess I'm happy to be a US citizen in this case! At least on paper. Mystery solved.

I am glad you got your mystery solved.

Oh by the way, :welcome:

Same thing seems to be happening all over.

RE: Guitars Epiphone EJ 200 (a top of the line version) comparable to Gibson J200 which is currently about $4000.00. Epiphone just doubled their price. $499.00 to $999.00. Always wondered why the Epi EJ was so cheap. I have one and it was a fantastic steal for the $499 price.

I will post a photo as soon as I take delivery which is a best guess of March 2022. 6 days into December and I think my dealer said nearly 70 or 90 snowmobiles still haven't been delivered. Applying that to the Spyders I'll be very lucky if I do get mine in March.

OK. Looking forward to seeing a photo of your spyder.


Happy Hoildays!

Wondering if the down payment and the commodity surcharge are refundable if they were preorder expenses?
