I went to their site, most of the models listed didn't have a price, you had to call them to get a price. The ones that were listed were generally about 25-30% off retail price. I guess if you sell for the lowest price, you're going to sell more than anyone else. There's a fine line though, at some point you don't make any money no matter how many you sell.

Actually, I wish I waited a week because now they are even less!! The ETX which is what I originally wanted is $4,100 out the door. The 570 is $4,450 out the door I think. There were NO games when I got there. They brought my machine out, had the paperwork ready for me to sign. ONLY extra fee was a $15 local business fee. I was out the door in an hour and that was only because the place is so busy.

There is simply no way I'd pay MSRP or even within $500 of MSRP on a new ATV. That's insane when you've got dealers who are willing to work with you. It's worth the drive. I made a weekend of it...and even paying for gas you can save over $1,000 easily. I called up three local dealers...none would even try to match Abernathy's pricing so I said no problem, but you just lost a sale.

The 700 with the plow and extras is a great deal. As long as it has the newer ignition in it. My 04 600 does and has been a great machine.

That 700 in this part of the country would go for 3500 without the plow and extras.

$350 difference between the 330cc ETX and the 570 would kinda of be a slam dunk for the 570, don't you think? The 570 would be plenty of power for me, would be probably about equal in performace or even better than the Grizzly 660 I used to own. If they make these kind of deals every day, they must sell hundreds of units a month. This place must dwarf any dealer I've ever been to. I've bookmarked their site. The only downside to buying an atv at a dealer far from where you live that I could possibly see if if there is a problem, you have to travel a long distance to take it back for service. Your local dealer won't like working on a new unit you bought somewhere else. I'm not sure they can legally refuse you warranty service but you can guarantee your atv will be last in line to get worked on and they won't go out of their way to help you either.

I know this is a Polaris forum, so I'll just ask what are some good models and years to be looking at ( Polaris or other ) ? I have 3 picked so far , and was wondering how my choices were..

Any certain rigs, or years to stay away from? Any motors that are notoriously bad?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
