Unfortunately I can't recommend either of the Ride Now dealerships in Austin or Georgetown.
Based solely on my personal experience walking in and talking to them during the buying process, that was my general impression. I was hoping that I had misinterpreted something or that what I experienced was a one-off quirk, so I asked here, but I'm unsurprised to have my gut feeling confirmed.
Thanks for weighing in. It's a good thing New Braunfels is such a lovely drive!
I not 'big' on warrantees but with my Slingshot I did buy the Polaris extended one. The dealers have a lot of play in the price you pay for it. I put 98,000+ miles on Slingshots since Feb of 2015 and the extended warrantee was a good thing for me.
I also added the extended, but the original's still good through September.
....curious to know what year was it......
2019 S with <5,000 miles
Still under original factory warranty!
I pulled the trigger! I bought a Slingshot last Tuesday.
. . . . And it's now sitting in a parking lot waiting to be towed to a dealer after clutch (probably) problems made it undrivable. *sigh*
The three dealerships closest to me are in Austin and Georgetown (both about 10 miles away), and New Braunfels (60 miles away, but where I bought it.)
The work should be covered under the original warranty, but does anyone have suggestions about the best dealers to do the work?

My last daily driver that was just for me, when I had no children to transport, was a 1999 Jetta that had the roof removed. It had no windshield either; I wore a motorcycle helmet on the highways. I drove that thing in every sort of weather and miss it something fierce.
The slingshot seems like a good replacement; my only concern has been whether it's an actual vehicle or just a weekend playtoy that will spend half its time with the hood open.
Y'all are making me feel a lot better about this. Thank you so much!
(oh and I'm in Central Texas)
No, but if I'm lucky he'll chime in.
I'm considering buying a 2019 low mileage (<5000) slingshot for use as a daily driver. How much maintenance do they require? How many miles can I realistically expect to get from it, lifetime?
I already know about the rubber seats, the heat, and all the other drawbacks. I'm looking for information, please, not advice.
