Not a issue Wedge you just had to put away just shy of 600 bucks a year since 1967 and you would be in.LOL NCT

For that kind of money, a person could buy a well equipped Mudd Ox Vengeance. More H.P., better balance, better equipped, with some aftermarket tracks, and it's made in America. I think Argo has raised the bar too high on many of these machines in an effort to compete directly with UTVs. I am not sure how much market there is for an almost $30k AATV. I may be wrong, will have to wait and see. I think most people would as soon spend that $30k on a vehicle.

Yeah that's American money, the one I saw here was $37,000 Canadian. Keeping in mind that we make pretty much the same hourly rates as you guys do but our dollar is worth less. The payment plan I was looking into works out to around $300. a month (+ 13% tax) for 10 years. !!!

A buddy of mine bought a Polaris RZR side by side shortly after I bought my avenger. I think when we last checked he was about the same price as my argo ($27K), by the time he took the base model, and added tracks, winch, skid plate, rock guards, upgraded seat belts, and I think a couple of other minor improvements for it. IMO, the argo is still a superior machine, as it will go further and haul more.. Even though the RZR will win every day in a race, since we all know argo's aren't the speediest machine on the planet. Each machine has it's purpose, and place in the market.

All 50 of these units were sold out in just a few weeks, and only aprox. 20 came into the states. Pic doesn't do this justice on how cool the mossy oak "country" camo is.Some of the special features only found on the 50th are ,special 50th badgeing,black trim,cool mossy oak country camo,and last but not least...... heated handgrips and seats.

Wow! Very sharp looking rig. I really like those high back seats with the side pads.

I think we will see lots of changes to Argo including it moving to the US now that the US owns them not that it's a bad thing just sad to be able to drive by the plant whenever I wanted to lol
