Went with a used Ski-Doo over a new Polaris this winter and I'm not sure I made the right call

Back in November I was looking at a 2023 Polaris 550 for $9,500 or a 2018 Ski-Doo Renegade with 3,000 miles for $5,200. The Polaris had that new smell and a warranty. The Ski-Doo was half the price and the guy threw in a cover and studs. I figured save the money and put it toward gas and gear. Well, the Ski-Doo has been fine on trails but it bogs down when I hit deep powder. Had to get towed out twice last month up near Silver Lake. The Polaris buyer I know says his runs like a dream. Anyone else go used and regret it, or did I just pick a bad one?

Sold my 2015 Ski-Doo and grabbed a new Polaris last year, no regrets so far.

Whoa, you sure that's a 2015? I thought Ski-Doo didn't roll those out till 2016.
