revct1 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 My 800 e-tec wouldn't start this morning at -30C. It has the original 3 year old battery. We went to the Ski-Doo dealer to get a new battery. We don't speak much French and the workers at there don't speak much English. Just by chance a customer there spoke a little bit of English. Once they understood what I needed, I got the battery. Since I was an American, they asked me if I was to pick up the American Ski-Doo that was left there for service? I asked them what sled it was and was there a charge for it? They said it was the 2013 Renegade X 800 e-tec. The bill for it was $114. It didn't take me too long to figure out I could be on a 2013 sled for $114! I paid cash for it so there wouldn't be anything with my name on it. They didn't even ask me for identification. They brought the sled out in front of the shop and handed me the keys and said "Bon journee." Wow! I can't believe this. I got on the sled and took off never looking back. It already has studs, carbides, external r-motion adjusters, a GPS mount and ice scratchers. This thing is fast. Boy does it handle good. Fly? I feel like Blair Morgan! I was thinking about buying a new sled next year but now I don't have to. I've got a 2013 already broken in and serviced. This is called "The Luck of the Irish!" Anybody interested in buying a 2011 Renegade with a brand new battery? Jack & Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revct1 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Wow! I didn`t think I would get bids this fast. Good profit Grumpy but Mini beat you. By the time Mini gets old enough, the 2011 will be an antique. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

600IQHO Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 We'll see you, i hope, state of emergency here....... I think it's an over reaction. Gutz Over reaction down here in PA also. Some schools closed this morning, some of the state universities closed early and the snow did not start until almost 5 pm now they are calling for only 1 to 3 inches. At least it will help my drive north in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

182ray Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bill won't ride it since he gave up 2 smokes. He's now one of those tree kissing frog hugging 4 poke riders. Nothing worse than an ex smoker lol Phil....I figure any minute Crazy will jump in with one of his photo shop pics Pay back is a dish best served cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
182ray Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Jack...if Sandy rides it please spot her if she backs up....hehe Throw on a pair of Bergstroms & let me know how they work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revct1 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi Ray, I would have posted earlier, 4 AM, except I was out trying to start my sled. I figure the colder it was, the less chance I have of it starting. You don't have to worry about Sandi backing your sled up. She's a 4 stroker too. When she was riding it yesterday, she kept looking for the reverse handle and couldn't find it. Ha Ha. A picture of the bear on your sled would be perfect.

182ray Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 8:11 am shouldn't you be out on the trail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 8:11 am shouldn't you be out on the trail? The real owner of his new sled showed up and his "old" one still won't start. I can now get out of my driveway!!! Only issue is there is 18 inches in the unplowed road.... And Dave is still snowed in at his house....
