First all I agree, help the guy get it sold. Secondly, it's not "especially in Alberta" it's, "only in Alberta". Everywhere else, its $1500 more for a new one. My bad for not checking on location, sorry about that.
I would imagine these are snowcheck backouts with the commodity surcharge. A buddy of mine from Alberta bought one a month ago from here as well and it had the surcharge as well as the 2 year warranty. He couldn't find one in Alberta, so he had me bring it from the lower mainland to Revy.
