2500 dollars?

You guys are living in lala land.

You cant even buy a youth model for that.

You'd think it was still 2019 around here.

I’d probably go $4,500 if it had a new style track and some other improvements. lol. We’ve had hours of discussions on how fun it would be to design a “new” Elan and all the possibilities. Heck my buddy bought his Expedition brand new for $10k less than 10 years ago and that’s a lot more material and engineering. No hand warmers, no thumb warmers, none of that crap. Just a bare bones simple sled. Happy trapping! ScottW

Another attribute to the elan was you didnt need snow to run it,as long as you had the bogie wheel suspension.
Ran the old elans sometimes in summer on bush trails
And I remember after a few beers with my buddies one time when we were about 16 we had an oval race in the field with a couple olympcs and a snow jet.Might have been a moto ski there too.

I believe the last year elans were made they sold new for over 2000 dollars. I bought a 95 model used in 96 for 1500.

So $4500 right now would be approximately appropriate comparative to that. I’m in!

Happy trapping! ScottW

I got a twin cylindar elan you can have. So much power lifts the skis off the snow. Almost complete lean steering required.

I remember the twin elan.
A buddy had one it was black in colour.It was a 22 HP i believe.
I use to race him with my 340 tnt he would be faster off the mark but I would pass him further out .

Don't tempt me with a good time lol

“Around here”? Like just around your yard?…news to me....lol
I bought an 04 AC H1 quad from new. Have done maybe 6-8 oil changes for maintenance and that’s it. Tough machine. Their sleds have always been good to me and their 97 Tcat 900 left the others in the dust on the fire guards. That being said, I ride BRP now and next quad will probably be Polaris. I buy based on our local dealers. Brant at AC treated me awesome because he was hammered all the time. Now the service is gone down the crapper!

I agree with jurassic . Artic crap is well known up here for crappy quads, I can't speak to the sleds though, for nice smooth trail riding I'm sure they're good down there.

I never wanted one

This is awesome Polaris and skidoo are better by far

Hate that for the people that will lose jobs

Never took down here, no brand recognition and the few that did make the gamble were not impressed by the quality

Way to high priced ,The ATV and UTV market is so over priced it is the reason I dont own one.

That and the lack of snow the past few years. In 2004, I bought a new 2003 Arctic Cat Bearcat for $3200. It was some that were left over from the previous year in which there was little or nor snow. A comparable Arctic Cat sells for about $12,000 today.

Yall thought i was nuts when i said they were gonna shut down. Your choices of cars will be next. Supply chains never recovered during the covid mess.

Textron ( Arctic cat ) is shutting down the snogo, atv, UTV, and golf cart production. I also read that Polaris has been considering downsizing as well but haven't heard anything about Can- am.

Gonna hate to see the cats gone. Their fan cooled 340 and 440 were fantastic. Now ride a Bearcat fan cooled and love it. I;ve been on a remote trapline for 35 years and never had a break down, It is also a strong pulling machine and seems to love pulling broken down Ski-doos back to their home base.

Not good

Is Arctic Cat a union company?

I'm not necessarily against unions but just asking.
