I think the guys price was a tad high. I just checked the receipt for my 96 XP and I paid $6,035 OTD from Big Red Motorsports on February 10, 1996. I sealed the deal over the phone. It was great, they asked what I wanted to pay and I said $6K a piece for 2 of them. Guy didn't hesitate and said I'll fax you the credit forms and we'll see you next weekend. I couldn't get a dealer to throw in a PFD near me and these guys knocked of $600 a ski without flinching. I took one and my buddy took the other, I bought his before he even finished paying it off and he went and bought a nice ski boat. Seadoo was offering 12 months same as cash and I was paid off in December of 96', I put $3K in cash down on it and paid like $250 a month. I wish those days were here again. I still have all my credit forms, Seadoo issued Credit card, original owners warranty card, original owners manual, basically everything piece of paper from the transaction. Those were some good times back then for sure.
