at dealerships that they arent supposed to be at? Not talking about chinese or korean imports, but Yamaha, Suzuki Kawi or Honda?
There is a supply of ATV's showing up here in TX that I think are flood damaged, but new units being sold by a trailer company here and supposedly the supply available is huge. I am guessing from around the Houston area as the driver supposedly said "down there" when talking about getting some more.
If you have seen or heard anything let me know, PM if you want to .
Buyer beware. :mad3:
Pretty sure that is illegal - so if you get any decent hard facts, turn them in.

Well, I sent a guy down at lunch to try and buy one, he told them he needed a worksheet to take to his bank with the VIN on it and they told him it was a cash only deal, then they started getting ugly when he started asking questions.
If they are new or salvage then we can stop him, but if they are titled then I am not worried about it.
He said lost of minor surface rust/pitting so I am guessing salvage. I feel sorry for anyone that buys one.
Guess it is time to have someone official go visit him. Yamaha and Honda really want us to get them a VIN so they can find out where they are coming from.

Tell Yamaha and Honda to go look at them and they will get their own VIN. Don't they have local reps that do that kind of stuff already?
