So I went to the Leer/Snugtop dealer in town and the ARE dealer to get quotes for a new shell.

100XR $2,257
180 $2,300
​

Sliding Windoor $290 (each)

​

I've looked around and seen some older threads with what people paid for their shells and these seem to be higher by quite a bit. Have prices changed or am I SOL if I want to buy one new?

 

Just 6 months ago my local dealer said 100R started at about $1600. So that shell seems a bit high.

 

Are prices generally higher in Alaska ?

 

That said, new is definitely a premium. I shopped for about a year and found a SnugTop XV with sliding rear windows, carpet, dome light, LED 3rd brake light, fold down rear window and Thule roof rack rails (plus 2 locking crossbars) and I paid $700. I had to replace the struts on the window ($52), the paint has some chips and it needed a wash.

The same retailer that quoted the Leer mentioned above said the shell, brand new was about $2600. So I got a pretty good deal.

 

For some stuff, I haven't really bought anything big up here and I've never bought a shell before.

 

I paid $3K for my Leer 100RCC but prices in Canada are usually stupid high

 

I've been checking craigslist/alaskaslist and nothing has come up yet.

 

I saw only 5 or so in that time so it's pretty slow, and I'm in California.

Love having it though. Hope you grab one soon. I couldn't justify or afford the cost of new.

 

Just paid 1740.00 last week for a Leer 100xr. Price was with removable slider window and carpet kit. I went in a few times and called around to other stores and they ALL had different prices? I told my local Leer dealer the lowest price and the store that quoted me that price. He said he would honor that price. Kinda bull shit. Should be a set price. But I saved about 150.00 by checking a round. Might try it.

This was for a DCSB.
