I had mentioned before the supply shock that manufacturers created by moving to mostly pre-order left supply short coming into the season. Recently it seems as though the ATV market has been settling down a touch with prices getting slightly closer to reality. In the last couple of weeks I've unearthed some fairer options out there that are worth considering. Lets check out what Alberta has to offer!

As always, my opinions are my own so be sure to do your own research and ALWAYS set up a viewing to check out the rig. Especially with higher mileage, costs can ramp up quick on these machines so do your due diligence.
If you're looking to finance, I recommend the team at Revival Powersports. I've known them for awhile now and what they are trying to accomplish in the industry is commendable with full transparency and no BS.
There is also a shop based out of Edmonton, Alberta called Unleashed Cycle & Sled who offers pickup and delivery services anywhere in Western Canada. The pickups are joined by a licensed mechanic who can inspect on the spot. This is a unique service that doubles down on feeling good about your purchase or a safety net from not having bought a lemon.
As always, thanks for reading!
Your friend,
Fred
