I am thinking about purchasing a quad from ALBA, I was curious if anyone has bought a quad from them and how it turned out, also how much should I expect to pay for shipping of a quad from cali to Oregon! Just Curious, I hope some one can help me out!

Give them a call, and they will give you full details. Durning the right time you can get free shipping to anywhere in the US.

OH man, well I called them and this is what they told me
Raptor $6199
Dealer Set up Fee- $1298
Shipping $ 450

Total- $7947


At that price I will buy a stock one for $6199, and do all of that stuff myself. Unless I can talk them down on there price! I will not be buying one from them!

Alba rapes you. You can get new raptors for 5500 or less now. Even if they shipped it to your door for msrp+taxes, you still would be cutting the cost benefit close.

My friend bought a 2003 alba raptor, its the blue one in my picture page. So far it's turned out great. It came with their graphics kit, their exhaust, the pro-flow intake, and I think that was about it. Oh yeah, it also had a custom painted frame. So I guess if you have the extra money to spend on one, I guess its worth it so it already has all the basic hop-ups done to it.

Just do the work yourself. Albas setup fees are to cover the cost of their parts they put on. It's a joke. They claim you can buy one of their quads for the same price as others charge for a stock quad. If only that were true. Most dealers setup fees are 2-300 dollars. Not $1200 +.
