Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Guns N Gear Best place to buy a can am

Follow up question on my other thread, where is best place (best deal) to buy a can am defender in or around Alabama? Thanks

Do not , I repeat , DO NOT deal with Motorcycle Sports ! Service department SUX !

I bought one from motorcycle sports in August of 2020 and got a very fair deal from them and one of my best friends purchased a Polaris ranger from them a couple of weeks later. I haven’t had to use their service department other than the add ons I purchased. My buddy had to use them for a warranty on a glass windshield and they took care of him. It’s very possible that things have changed since then with the pandemic affecting them but that was my experience. I can tell you they gave me a MUCH better price than any of the Birmingham dealers when I was searching between Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris and CanAm.

Same here. They were very competitive in terms of pricing.

I use Cullman Power Sports for Can Am. It’s a drive but they are solid folks.

I stay away from Big #1 in Homewood. Bad experience while I was shopping and won’t darken their door


Haven’t tried the Bessemer dealer. They just picked up Can Am as a brand

I see you've already bought one, but I'll post anyway in case someone else is contemplating. I drove from Central FL to Halls Motorsports in Mobile ,Al (about 7 hours). I don't know if they were cheaper than other places in Al, but they were $2000-$2500 cheaper than anything I could find in Central FL.

First time seeing Halls and cheap used in the same sentence 😃

I bought my Honda Pioneer from Hall's in Daphne in 2019, and they beat everyone, including the Mississippi dealerships, by a fair amount...including having to pay state sales tax. Drove 35 miles to get it too...rather than hundreds to get one from MS.

No nothing of Halls in Daphne, I was referring to the one Flg mentioned.

Heard some absolute horror stories recently about their service charges. One was $2K to replace wheel bearings on a Ranger (4x$500)

Yeah just recently my FNL had to find someone else to start serving his Pioneer because of the ridiculous price they charged him. Luckily we have someone local in town that's certified to work on Honda, Polaris, etc

There surely may be cheaper places. When I bought mine, covid was just starting to affect the supply. Hall's had what I wanted a couple grand cheaper than I could find on an in stock machine anywhere around here. I promptly put a deposit on it over the phone and left out Saturday morning to get it. I don't remember exactly, but I paid less than 12 for it, 2020 Hd8 DPS. Some shops around here wanted 15 if you could find them in stock.

I'm glad I bought one when I did. There is no way I'd pay what they are going for now.

Yep, they have gone up,and going to keep going up! I talked to several different dealers and some said the factory’s are about to go up 5% more, and they can’t tell you if you put a deposit down when it would be arriving, could be May or September, and if the factory goes up you might not be locked into price when you put a deposit down, and right now used ones are higher than new ones

Everything is crazy. I could probably sell my 2 year old machine for more than I paid for it now, but just like the truck situation, you couldn't replace it without spending big bucks.

One of my good friends just sold his 2016 RANGER that he bought new for 12,200... Sold in 2022 for 14,500. nutz..

Inflation is when you have more money circulating than you have items to buy.

Just ordered one from Battle Creek Powersports in Jasper TN. Local dealer quoted me over $2k in additional fees.

I have a 2015 Polaris Sportsman 1000 with a 5 by 8 I might need to get rid of then

The time is right
