He then says that he gets so many cancels every day...just can`t seem to understand it???Wifey comes home and I tell her anout the happenings..We both use a magnifing glass on the add...some kinda mumbo jumbo 1/16th lettering ,black on a black dark brown cammo add...could barely make out the word dealer...Needless to say then i`m really P.O.ed..E mailed B.B.B. ....Processed a complant against the company..B.B.B. sent a reply..complant processed...also seems like i`m not the only complant..no wonder..How in the hell they could justify a $1,200.00 mark up..handleing and dealer prep..comeon give me a break..Long story short month went by and I get a phone call from the company MANAGER stating that they were pulling the add and re wording it with either the full price or the wording prep/handleing in large block letters..asked me to drive to Mich and he would give me a super deal ( ya rite)..told him that I bought a used local Polaris 600 sportsman..have a good day...moral of the story is allways ask what the OUT OF THE DOOR PRICE IS !!!!Hope this ditty helps some one...Sid
