I've seen a number of owners already selling or trading in their XDs. Wondering what some of the reasons are.

The UTV market is a rough business to be in right now, supply is outpacing demand, and a lot of dealers are doing deep discounts to move them. New inventory is bank rolled by Polaris for a period of time, so the dealer has no money in them. When the dealer takes your trade it's his money being put in the inventory, just what they don't want to do when sales are soft. At the end of the day when new ones get cheaper the used ones get cheaper too.
It is easy to get "buyer's remorse " with the 1500.
It sells for almost the same price as a Jeep except in the Jeep you are not riding in a plastic box held together by push pins . The Jeep comes with true automotive doors that seal , windows that always work, electric door locks, intermittent wipers, low range, steering columns and dashes that don't leak air, and is street legal everywhere.
As Big Red mentioned we are all upside down with our 1500`s . Compounding this is in my area is that currently there is a lot of uncertainty that has folks holding back on purchases that aren't necessities.

I sort of figured this was the case. I went from a JD Gator to this which is night and day difference. Bought the XD for the long haul (hopefully). Was surprised a bit to see relatively new machines being traded or sold already. People buying different brand or just newer 2025 models I wonder.

My thoughts exactly. So wondering now if people are moving over to a different brand of machine.
If they drove a 1500, like the feel of it, and want to stay in the UTV lineup there really is nothing else out there.

Some people don't like the way the Steeldrive transmission works and may want to go back to a belt. I for one absolutely LOVE the Steeldrive transmission and will never go back to a belt. I'm sure some of this preference is based on the way you use your machine. The good news is the Steeldrive will only get better from here, not sure how much better a belt system will ever get.

Agreed on the steel belt. Came from a JD Gator XUV 590M, belt to this. I for one like it as well
Me too, I could use a low range for my use and it would be perfect

One thing that I have done is I have put my old Rangers (2 2018 Northstars) and (2 2021 Northstars) on an Auction and I have sold them sometimes for more than I gave for them new. If you have a good auctioneer in your area this might be a way to go.

Amazing on the amount of depreciation on these things.
I think depreciation would be a lot less if the market wasn't so soft and these machines weren't plagued with all these issues.

I agree. Think the only thing worse is a boat. Owned one of those as well and it went down moment I towed it off the lot!
