Sounds like the best long term choice. You really have to watch these dealers for all the charges and added fees. We have an 2019 XP900 and have been happy with it. There are a lot of horror stories on Polaris problems and I still have that in the back of my mind even though we have put over 4500 miles on this one. I like the Polaris Sportsman ATVs but have bought Honda and Suzuki ATVs since the Ranger because I am a little more confident about them.
If you don't mind me asking what city was that in? I have bought from Anderson, Crawfordsville and Terre Haute and the purchases were OK but service has been a disappointment except Crawfordsville. The Rancher I bought was $1600 less in Anderson than Lafayette and the one I bought was Camo on top of that! Both dealers were owned by the same people. The first maintenance required seems to be nothing but a high price oil change for some of the dealer service departments. I have checked mine over after and found they never checked the valves, fluid levels low and stuff like that. You can tell what they have had off and my feeler gauges don't lie.
The place I had the "issues" with was in Charleston, Illinois...I have had good luck with them in the past but was really surprised when they pulled this crap.
I ended up putting the deposit at Terre Haute. Crawfordsville and Lafayette could not get me anything in a Pioneer 1000...said their best guess would be 4-6 months and that was not a guarantee.
Here is the breakdown on the Pioneer 1000-5 Forest at Charleston...MSRP $21299, $3000 ship/destination, $1300 ext warranty(they didn't list this on the sheet but brought it up when I questioned the final price)...sales tax 6.25% = $27198.93 they gave me an out the door price of $28,900...they never did try to explain the additional $1700 except for saying "well, we do have some set up time and all involved". Like I said, I have bought ATV's from them in the past and had real good luck with them but this really got to me.
