Every two seasons for me...my 12 screwed up my even cycle by blowing up with 120miles on it. Traded it for a '13 and will snow check a '15 next year

Every 2 to 3 yrs. With an exception no first yr models. Paid the price in 05 with the RT did the same again in 08 with the XP. This time waited a year and have an XMX on the way.

I hear ya on the RT, i got talked into one in 05. Was riding an 04 900 Cat, once on the RT i sure missed my Cat.....WAY better sled but we did work out the bugs and it became a real good sled, far better then the Cat but not at first. It took 2 seasons of working on it though.

Skidoo put a new 1000 in about 600k after I blowed up mag side and dropped debris into the bottom and created carnage. I put the pods to it and never looked back pulled insane, Last time I saw it it was still rippin Tyler seemed to be happy with it. I'm loosin my chit thinkin bout the new one. Rode a buddies out of a chitty spot and seriously impressed would be an understatment. The XM X is incredible.

It all depends on the sled, and what kind of sled is being put out. So far it's been an average of 2 years. But this year I got a 2014XM X on snow check so I am thinking at least 4 years cause of the warranty. And I don't see how they can get any better!

im going to try the 3 year plan, seems like that amount of years and how many miles i put on i can still get a decent amount for it towards my new new, had my IQ for 5 years, its been too long and its not worth much anymore and last two years riding it made it feel really out dated compared to the pro rmk.
