Heartland Honda was advertising 16's for$ 1,450
For that price I could buy one and pay you to deliverer it to me. lol. Think you may have left a 0 off that number. Lol.
I paid 14,287 at brook haven honda back in november. Several close dealers wouldn't come down none. In fact one dealer told me that they had no problems selling at their price, which was $300 less than sticker.

You can keep track of the best deals at ATVTrader.com. Do a search nationwide then sort it by price. 2016 P3s are going for $2500 off now. I'm going to be buying another one but not till this summer or fall so I'll be getting a 17.

Planning on upgrading from a 700-4 to a 1000-5 deluxe this weekend. The 2016 model is $500 cheaper plus has a $500 accessory credit. I know the changes are few for 2017 but torn on which way to go. Thoughts?

How are you liking the switch? Taking mine to WV this weekend then deciding what im gonna do. If im gonna stick with the 700-4 or go to 1000-5

Both the 700-4 and 1000-5 are good machines, but really happy with the switch. A couple of things I'm really liking; power steering, turf mode, and 2x HP! The bad thing is I have started the accessorizing all over again...
accessorizing is the fun part but it does cost $.

Just closed the deal on a 2016 base 1000-5 with a concern that I should of went for a 2017. $750 more for the 2017. It appears the only difference is the ECU in regard to memory and shift feel. I gave 16,606 with a set of ITP Tornado wrapped in Buzz Saw XCs, Honda Hard 2 piece windshield, Honda hard top, and Honda bed mat. Hope I didn't get the wool pulled. Im sure there are better deals out there but I dont want to drive 500 miles to get it.

doesnt sound like a bad deal. Ive got quotes for $16100 for the base and about $17000 for the deluxe. I plan on getting a 2016 1000-5 if i can get what i need to out of my 700-4

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I was $15,300 OTD for the 2017, but they were only knocking $300 for the 2016 so made the decision easy.

The best thing about buying a new rig is the fun of goodies shopping!

If you buy a 2016 to get a bargin, make sure you drive it first for a considerable distance (a mile or more in high side). These models have sit on the dealer parking lot for several months and the spark plugs could be corroded. Id suggest asking them to pull them to make sure they arent crap and also make them drain an replace the fuel as it could be varnished. Dont take the salesman's word for it. After the deal is done and before you sign the dotted line make them do these functions and prove it.
