trapshooter Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 It seems like the dealer is a little(?) sore at not being in the sales loop. It has nothing to do with the dealer! This price is set by BRP. The dealer used to charge $50 and print the letter off from BRP's web site then the Government regs changed and now the letter has to come directly from BRP. Coincidentally, BRP decided that since people had to get it from them, they'd up the price to something ridiculous..... like, say, ohhhhh $350!!

Uncle Buck Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 wait till boat trailer manufactures start doing the same thing... imagine how much they would have made these last couple of years with the whole slew of folks buying US boats...

charlesn Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Bought 3 boats from the states, got 3 recall letters from the trailer manufacturer for the cost of a phone call... $350 is gouging robbery, straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike slayer Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 wow thank god i didnt buy a doo! i bought a polaris from the states and my recall letter was $35 and that was only a few months ago! and i was mad about that. my dealer told me that they get charged for getting the info from polaris. i'd be outraged for having to pay$350. its enough already for buying the sled, drving down there and back, $200 import fee, both sales taxes, plates, insurance, etc etc etc definitly turning into a rich mans sport. but sadly if i sold the sled i bought i could sell it for almost double the money in canada thats the real outrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
