As snowmobile enthusiasts, we're excited about this fresh model from Arctic Cat: the Arctic Cat Snowmobile Mountain Series M 8000 Mountain Cat Alpha One 2023. Prepared to endure the toughest winter conditions, it offers a richly-featured package that sets itself apart from the competition.
The M 8000 Mountain Cat Alpha One 2023 is not simply about the appearance, even though it sports an aggressive and purposeful Skye Blue colorway. Underneath the striking exterior, it packs a significant punch. Its engine type is a 2-Stroke 8000, and with a displacement of 794cc, it delivers exceptional power for all forms of mountain snowmobiling. It also uses a Next Generation C-TEC2 fuel delivery system, ensuring efficient performance with digital control.
Additional special features that have caught our attention include its choice of manual or electric push-button start and the Arctic Mountain Suspension (AMS) that provides increased manoeuvrability and improved control in uneven terrains. The LED lighting with accent light is a thoughtful addition too – enhancing visibility without causing a significant drain on power.
Regarding comfort, Arctic Cat has gone to great lengths to ensure rider satisfaction. The model offers a choice of mountain or lightweight mountain seating, both designed for comfort during long or adventurous rides. The hand and thumb warmers are a nice touch, especially in the harsh winter conditions where these snowmobiles tend to be used. Moreover, accessories like the sports front bumper, a goggle holder, a handlebar bag and a mountain storage bag, increase the practicality of this snowmobile.
Within the increasingly competitive snowmobile market, Arctic Cat has once again succeeded in combining innovative technology with practical design in the 2023 M 8000 Mountain Cat Alpha One. With a reasonable MSRP of $15,999, this model represents a good value for the robust features and capabilities it offers. As always, though, we recommend doing thorough research and shop around for the best deal.
In conclusion, Arctic Cat has put forward a snowmobile that caters not just to the novice adventurer but to experienced explorers with the Mountain Series M 8000 Mountain Cat Alpha One 2023. Its high-performance specifications, combined with thoughtful design features and commendable aesthetics, make for a snowmobile that we can wholeheartedly recommend.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
