Riverc, yeah I did get lucky as hell. Had a new 450 Kodiak with irs and eps priced out at 8999 for green and 9199 for the camo. It looked like it was gonna ruin 10k for a Yamaha. The local Honda dealer only had 420 ranchers with out eps or irs. They wanted 1000 dollar premiums over msrp + shipping+ setup+doc.fee and whatever else they could dream up. I got down to figuring on not buying local because of it. Just got lucky checking Craigslist sat morning it was less than 5 miles from my home. I was 1st caller after they listed it the day before and I told them I'd be there in 15 minutes. The owner from New was a gal 70+ who rode with her hubby and inlaws til the hub passed last spring. So I test drove it we settled at 6800 and I had a 1/2 hr to get to the bank before it closed for the weekend, she didn't want a check and I was able to get the green fast enough. It just went down perfect
