mad I ordered a new Polaris Ranger in October. I made a down payment and was told I would be getting my Ranger by March or April. No worries everything is slow now....I checked a few weeks ago and they have moved the delivery date to mid June. Inconvenient but not unexpected in this day and age. NOW THE GOOD PART. I got an Email form Polaris the other day telling me that do to the increased cost of production and the lack of availability of parts they are INCREASING MY PURCHAS PRICE BY FIVE PERCENT. What a crock! I have never heard of any business doing this. Out here in Montana a deal is a deal. Nothing was mentioned about a potential increase for any reason. They took my down payment on November 1. That should be a done deal.
I called the dealership yesterday and talked to the salesman I purchased it from and he said he would have to call his area rep. and get back to me. So far I have heard nothing.
I have enough business expenses I really don't feel the need to toss Polaris another 1,200 dollars because of something I have nothing to do with.
My next call will be to the dealership owner. He is getting dangerously close to loosing a long time account!


I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

I would think the purchase contract would give legal protection in court from this

a buddy bought a new one last year, and some suspension part broke while under warranty, about 2 months in. they cant get the parts to fix it, and theyre still making the payments on it, while they cant use it. this was way back last summer. buyer beware i guess?

I have heard that some dealers are having lots of trouble getting parts. There's a place that advertises want ads for used atvs in any condition and only mentions that new models can be ordered.

Pat, I'm afraid I would be forced to tell them to return my earnest money, and I'll go to the honda shop! That is worse than rotten!

I have heard that Polaris is requiring an earnest payment and 8ts forfeited if one doesn't take delivery.q

It's the sign of the times,right or wrong. I have had a part on order from Arctic Cat since November, I'm been told I might see it in August. Thank goodness my guy found one on a shelf in NY.


I .have a friend that ordered a arctic cat sled in June. Don't think he's seen it yet. My brother needed a aprt for his boat motor last summer, took 2 months. 12 month old boat dead in the water

I think I would cancel my order and ask for my money back.

I would be po'd too! I made a down payment on a polaris back in December. I think they said to expect delivery in that March/April time frame. Got a call in Feb and it was at the dealer waiting for me.

I bought a CFMOTO side by side last spring. Chinese owned company, but have been in business for 40 some years. Just not in the US. I was about crucified for buying it and not a Polaris. I guess Polaris have their problems also. I used my 1000 to check traps last winter. Had zero problems with it and put 2000 miles on it. Mine is a 2021 with power steering, roof and winch out the door for $12,999.

This is something that my mind cannot get past. They have parts to build new units but not to for the ones they sell that are under warranty and break. This makes no sense to me. Someday this way of treating the customer will come back and bite them it the butt.

Did you finance through Polaris? If you did can you put some pressure on your lender to get you your parts.

Never liked polaris anyway. Get your money back and get a King Quad. You'll get better service and won't be waiting around on parts cause you'll most likely never need any


Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!
