Free Winch or 2 yr ext warranty??

[Flatheadyoungin]

When did they start offering this? I bought mine on May 9, 2009 and my dealer didn't offer this. I asked him about the warranty and he said it's 6 months.

Was this offered after I bought mine or should I call and tell them I want one of the two?

Sounds like you need to call your dealer and tell him you want your free winch...

He may have just not offered it to you. Did he give an extra discount? Some dealers will offer an extra discount and not mention any of the Arctic Cat programs. They then will tell AC that they installed a winch and Arctic Cat will then give them a credit for the winch, so in reality you were not getting an extra discount. I knowthat there are some underhanded dealers out there.

^^^^^Yep, what he said^^^^^
Sometimes a dealer will cut you a big break in the price but use the program offers to make his profit. And the way dealers are having to cut their prices, the winch credit given by AC may be their only profit. I know that is the way some of my ATV sales are. Heck, I'm selling DVX400's for $750 under dealer cost right now just to get them moved....

YOur still stuck with some of those, i'm sorry. The market is hard right now. This is the first year I have had trouble selling my prowlers. It sucks when things have to be sold under cost and AC doesn't help any. Any time them come out with a program to extend more benefits they want you to order more units, but shoot can't do that when you already have too many in stock.

Yeah, I still have 2 of the DVXs. But I'm out of XTZ Prowlers, have 1 demo XTX and 3 550 Prowlers left. Wished I could've gotten 3 more XTZ's a month ago, but now I'm hoping to get some of the first 2010 XTZs.
I agree on the programs= order more from AC. But I'm top heavy on 550 ATVs. I'm out of TRV's and have 2 Mudpros left (1 is a demo unit).
The dealer northwest of me sent back around 200 units to the factory from what I understand. That hurts his pocketbook I'm sure with the 5% return fee.
Hope things pick up for you.

I still have 8 xtz's left so if you need one let me know. I have 3 550 prowlers, 2 650, and 5 700's. I am not heavy on just one unit of atvs but just heavy all around.

i'll call them tomorrow.......i think they should have said, this price........this price with "free" winch or extended warranty.......

i'd rather they just be straight with me.....

i didn't brow beat their price, i just told them what i was willing to pay......

I just bought mine yesterday and received the 2 year warranty which was cool..
