Arctic Cat Pulling US Dealers

[snoflake]

Has anyone else heard about a substantial amount of AC dealers closing shop in the US?

 

[snopro]

News to me? Where are you getting your info?

 

[NoBrakes!]

BOS and Echo from Edmonton, and Argyll really doesn't seem to be into selling any sleds anymore...

writing on the wall?

the Blast series better be the new K car for them.....

Makes sense. Cabelas is getting all their stuff on tires, and sleds are by order only. They don't need dealers for that.

 

[NoBrakes!]

hahaha at a Cabellas soon.... "I'd like to return this Alpha... it was defective"

 

[snopro]

Thats crazy. I hope they don't drop thier dealer network. Lots of good folks will be on the street.

I love Cabela's but I don't think you will get the same level of service you will at Ralph's or T&T

Ralphs has picked up Suzuki and Kawasaki. How long before they drop Cat ?

 

[NoBrakes!]

T&T is done too no?

I think they had a real good snowcheck from what we heard. Sold a bunch of Alpha's. I think they are in for the long haul after building a new building. Good peeps up there.

Yes I used them as an example of a good dealer with awesome service from what everyone says.

I was just in the US riding some guys from Lewiston, Idaho. Guy said all the dealers within 400 miles of have shut down in the last 6 months. also said more were going to be closing and non of them have any inventory?

 

[snopro]

Sad to hear. Thought the economy was good down there?

 

[papajake]

from what i heard the new manufacture is making it very hard on dealers no in store demos only taking snow checks for customers and stuck with old inventory

the stock market is doing good. if you are Elon musk that's great.

I don't think the real economy is doing as good though..

I know lots of guys through work in the washigton state seattle area and they have all said the same thing, economy is awesome , better than its been in years, more work than they can handle, house prices way up, wages have gone up back to where they were pre obama and everybody they know for the most part is doing well. A few of them are Mexican descent and they still like trump as well and are happy with how thing have turned since his start, their parents the ones who actually were born in mexico not so much lol, not as many freebies for immigrants anymore so they are choked lol but who cares

I deal with them always and said they had one of their best snowcheck years, and only picking up more business from kawi and suz. They only have 4 wheel kawi stuff now for about another year or so then will have a full kawi lineup. They are pumping out tons of machines dont see them going anywhere like you said .
