Buying Your Own Snowmobile

So maybe you’re wondering…where can I buy my own snowmobile in Ontario? The best place to start is the read the Spring Preview (February) and Buyer’s Guide (September) issues of various snowmobiling magazine to familiarize yourself with the new snowmobiles available through the dealer networks of the four sled manufacturers — Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo (BRP) and Yamaha.

Dealers: Buying a snowmobile is much like purchasing a car. Each of the four sled brands has a network of dealers where you can select from current and used sleds, hear expert advice and get service done. Just as with buying an automobile, these dealerships are conveniently located around Ontario and also offer parts, accessories and clothing.

Typically, the four manufacturers introduce their new model line–ups each spring with special offers and packages, while the main selling season is the fall of each year. Dealers often have a mix of current, new non-current and used sleds for sale.

Used Sleds: Many used sleds are for sale privately in newspapers and buy and sell publications. One convenient way to buy a used snowmobile is to visit sleddealers.ca for non-current or used snowmobiles. It’s a user friendly way for you to shop, compare and buy online from an affordable selection that otherwise might not be accessible or available to you. It’s important to check over a prospective used sled thoroughly before buying.
