Ok so we went to order our slingshot SL ( We did by the way) But as we saw on websit for Polaris we added some accessories. The dealership was charging us for the installation to me it made no sense because why would we be charged for labor for something comping from factory.

You might want to check around with other dealers!

This would be a question to ask the dealer.

Is the factory installing the added accessories, or the dealer? I am thinking the dealer?

It makes sense to me that if you buy an accessory there is a cost for it, and if you have them install it, there is a labor charge for that, whether it's the factory or dealer. If you think the labor is too high, your choice would be to find someone else or do it yourself.

I would think if a vehicle is ordered from the factory with available accessories that the accessorues would include installation in yhe price. Learn something everyday.

I believe the some here are confusing accessories with options. Options are typically factory installed extras or upgrades. Accessories are typically extras to be installed by the dealer or the owner.

It would be unreasonable to expect the dealer to install accessories for free.

From what I understand, you pick the model and color S, SL, ect... any options ordered/purchased are dealer installed for a fee. At least that what my dealer told me.

I believe pretty much all dealers will say the same thing. If you want accessories installation included in the selling price, that would need to be negotiated prior to placing the order.

I ordered my 2022 R December 8th with a fender but polaris sent the fender to my dealer Jan 16th and I paid them labor to install it when my Slingshot came May 16th.

Options or accessories. This seems to be where everyone gets confused.

We are having a similar issue with our dealer. We got our new SS and decided to upgrade to heated/cooled seats. Our dealer ordered them and we paid for them. Yesterday, they called to tell us they had arrived and installation charges would be $700+.....Needless to say, we have a call in to the manager to find out about that...:-(

Why would anyone assume the installation would be free? Really?🤦‍♂️

Yes, options added at factory, accessories added at dealer or by yourself.

Items that were not part of the SL package.
