200 Ficht vs 200 HPDI

[fishbote]

With April 15 coming up and the rebate or extra 4 yrs on Ficht specials ending, I wanted to put out one last call for peoples thoughts. I thought I was going to pull the trigger on twin Fichts until I heard Bombardier was putting the Recreational Division for Sale. Just when they were turning the corner More Uncertainty! Bottom line is this is alot of cash to drop and who knows who will purchase Ficht and if they will drive the company into the ground [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] . I am thinking quality, resale value and Price. I have not heard anything bad about HPDI's but they seem to be more expensive and times 2 that is a double the pain.

So far I can get a 2002 200 Ficht for $11,000.
2003 200 HPDI comes in around $13,700. Is it worth the money for the quality, performance and peace of mind? Add tax, controls and installation the HPDI will be over $30,000 OUCH!

Any thoughts are appreciated
