I'm finally ready to buy a used or new side-by-side like the KRX and was wondering if anyone has tips on saving money when purchasing one.
How can I save money when buying a new ATV?

What I will say is this, right now and for the foreseeable future finding a deal on a machine isn’t going to be the easiest thing. As well, what I would focus on is finding the right dealer. What I mean by that is you may want to spend a few extra dollars to find some place that people have given great reviews on their customer service in not just sales but more importantly in the service and the parts department. At some point more than likely you will need a warranty repair. Also at some point you will need parts that are wear items or want accessories. Finding someone who makes things right, isn’t always synonymous with who makes things cheaper on you. I can list a ton of dealerships in my area that I wouldn’t do business with, how ever I can list a couple that if they were a little more expensive, I would still give them my business. I say this because they have taken great care of me on warranty issues, parts I can’t find online or in the time I need them by, and factory accessories I wanted. A dealership that even made it possible for me to get my machine on Christmas Eve when they were closing and stayed 2hrs for me to get there due to my work schedule (as they had it for a warranty claim which they took great care of) because we had a ride planned for the day after Christmas.

I understand this is kinda side tracking what your question was. But it could be a few more dollars spent, will save you a lot of time and aggravation down the road. I understand there is a limit to everything when it comes to cost spent or saved for service. But I would start by finding what dealers people recommend in what ever part of the country you are in, and going from their with cost comparison.
+1 on starting with the right dealer. Find a reputable one and impress upon them that you are not just shopping for a machine but also for a dealer. Let them know you intend to use them for service, parts, the occasional accessory and maybe bring a friend who's also looking. Expect to pay MSRP but not more, it's been a seller's market for a while, even for used machines.
As far as saving money goes, do you have to pay tax? Some states have ag exemptions. Work on getting a discount for accessories or apparel. Notice I didn't mention parts. Work on encouraging the dealer to waive transportation and setup fees. The idea is to spend a little to save alot.

Not sure there are going to be any great deals in the near future do to short supply and current demand, while picking up my Es my dealer told me they received their list for the first half of 2022 and they are only assigned 2 KRX's from Kawi. They still haven't filled their orders for 2021 and where told they may get 1 more this year when they need 3.
Yes. My dealer here in Indiana gave a similar story to what u just told as well.
I drive from Texas to the north east tip of Arkansas to get mine a couple months ago. They were $2500 below msrp and no tax since I am not a resident of Arkansas. Jay Hatfield motor sports in Kansas just called, since I was on their list, so you might look them up. Their deal was $2000 below msrp and no tax if they deliver it out of state
