Thanks for the welcome note.

I am hoping to get a P1K-5 LE within the next couple of months (assuming availability!) I am curious what people have bought with their unit that they wish they hadn't and what they wish they had got but didn't. Especially useful has already been the discussions about the buying process and dealer attitudes in AZ but any additional comments would be appreciated.

Thanks again,
Rick

Welcome from the once great state of Colorado.

What's your intent - family (how many do you want to carry + dog), chores, exploring? Remember - one SxS is a trail ride, 2 or more is a trail race. :)

We plan to trail ride (wife, grandkids, and the dog), plow snow when needed, and haul materials around lot. All at 7000ft elevation.

The Pioneer sounds like a good choice for that. 👍

Welcome from Arizona City.
Sounds like you might be using it up in Flagstaff or thereabouts?

I got my best deal for my 700 at Vince at Nash powersports in Mesa, and it was one of the easiest buys I've ever done. Someone tried them not too long ago and they were waiting for more units, so you may have to be patient.
Others have had good luck with Western Honda. My experience with Ridenow is that they have the lowest "advertised" price, but end up adding BS fees back until it's nothing special.

@RB3offroad probably knows valley dealerships far better than I.

I got mine from Western Honda and it was easy for sure, Ride Now was a rip off but can finance almost anyone. I got the OEM roof and every thing else aftermarket because it was cheaper. Good luck with the purchase and post pics when you get it.

Excellent advice thanks! This is the second time I have heard about the differences between Nash and Ridenow and the second time I have heard good things about Vince. I wonder how long it would take to order one and get it delivered to Nash.

Thanks again
Gilbert & Happy Jack Rick

Finally got it! Even though it took six months to come in, the experience with Nash and Vince specifically was terrific. I had a number of dumb questions having never owned a UTV and Vince was patient and knowledgeable. Nothing but positive comments
