New England B.S. Thread

not enough room to justify one of those either, thanks though! haha

 

State finally approved my refund, 2 days into the future too. Received my federal refund only 6 days after filing.

 

If you want to come spend a week mowing grass and riding on trails cutting down trees and whatnot, I'll be happy to help you make those dreams come true this summer



So after talking to a few dealers about trade in, looking at some sold for prices etc.. I have decided to do a private sale and have a guy coming tomorrow to pick it up, already sent a deposit via paypal. Will sell it to him for what I would get selling the thing private and splitting the tracks separately. Not super pumped about the overall total and will be taking a bit of a loss, but that tends to happen on these things it seems, especially when you start customizing.

Plan is to get a atv separately, then put the cash left into a few other things we got going on right now. Not sure how I feel about everything, happy to get rid of the ranger, but sad it lost a fair amount of value since they keep pushing newer and better every year.

 

Late model powersports on the used marketplace are pretty much always a losing deal for the seller. It's a buyers market for sure.

 

Get a water heater from home depot and it's dented. Try to call the store, get the automatic on hold all associates busy blah blah blah. Show up at the store, there's like a dozen people standing around.

 

Just as a heads up, my buddy loves his Kymco 700. Seems to be pretty good quality

 

Looks like Ronnies Cycles around here sells them, they are one of the shops I've been getting pricing from. I guess I've seen this brand, never heard much about it. You got any other info?

 

These are cool...real cool.

These are cool, but their price has them in a wierd spot. They aren't as well equipped as a lot of the UTV's these days, but cost just as much. They also can't be used on road, but cost more than some used jeeps who can do roads and trails...

They have their spots for sure,and I would like to have one of those too! But its more of a ranch cruiser imo than anything else.

 

Made in China. Have you checked out the Honda Rancher 420 ES 4x4, their pricing isn't too bad and carry the Honda reliability. Rented one up in Maine the power steering is effortless.

 

They sell some cmmoto brand that is made in china too. I am trying to stay away from that as much as I can. I did look at the rancher and it was the one for me...until it's 870 lb tow capacity hit. I have a compost spreader that's 600lbs, with a load its around 2k lbs. I wanted to get at least in the 1200 lb range so when I over do it, it isn't that bad.

Looking at Can-Am 570 DPS and Polaris 570. Leaning towards the Can-Am, didn't really love polaris with the Ranger, but I am sure it's not much greener on the other side either.

 

Last time I filed in RI, it took 6 months to get my refund. I filed my MA tax on 2/11 and got the refund on 2/15!

 

RI is usually only a day or two behind federal. I think they're having issues this year.

 

Over an hour later, they're finally grabbing the new heater. It's like customers aren't important here.

 

@HomerTaco is this typical at HD?

 

I've had awful service or lack there of from the one near me, if I need help I tend to go to Lowe's now but I still do most purchases at home Depot. To think I used to work at HD

 

What kind of stuff do you want to know about it?

 

I dunno, I guess anything you might have heard or seen. Telling me he likes it and has had good luck might sum it up though.

 

Well this was his second season with it, hasn't gotten it stuck yet, keeps up with can-am outlanders, factory winch and locking diffs work well, only issue he has had was a torn CV boot, but that was from a stick getting kicked up. It has been rolled and he broke his collar bone, but just bent the rack on the front a little. I can ask him and get his pros and cons on it if you want

 

Lowes gets most of my money these days.
Just my preference.
