Default Rubicon for export?

Hi! greetings from Scotland. You guys have such reasonably priced atvs in the US that I'm quite interested in exporting a 500 Rubicon over here. Could anyone recommend a good dealer where a tidy 2003 bike might be found, thats good to deal with? I guess on the West coast might be best. Also, I think all the 500s over here have optional 2 wheel drive but I gather thats not always the case in the US? its not that crucial as I'm mainly interested in the automatic trans.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, also, any useful extras I should consider?
Davie

Look in to a polaris sportsman 500 its an awesome 500 bike with on demand all wheel drive (option 2/4 wheel drive at any speed or any time by the flick of a switch) and independent rear suspension it has automatic transmisson and it will give you the most confortable powerful ride of your life time it is the best 500 on the market and i gaurentee you that not one american hates it

IT IS AWESOME

stick with honda its more reliable and probably eaiser for you to get parts for. polaris is junk just look at their thread and read the problems.

I wouldn't say the Polaris is junk. I had one for two years without any major problems. But I would agree, for all out dependability, stick with Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki.

I had one for about three years also. The first two I had a few problems and the last one I could have bought a new one for the money I sank into it!!! I will never own another unless it is to ride on the pavement.

im wiht you redrincon, i knew to ppl that owned polaris machines, the one guy had a 6 wheeler that broke something new just about everytime he used it, he has since traded it for a honda. the other guy had 2 polaris machines, every time he would get one of them going again, the other would break
