I'm new to the board, waiting to get a ZX10, but wanted to warn everyone about this. I posted the link below and the text from that page. http://www.ag.state.oh.us/press_releases/2004/press_release_20040406.htm April 6, 2004 COLUMBUS - Attorney General Jim Petro today filed suit against five Michigan motor vehicle dealers on behalf of consumers from 23 Ohio counties covering alleged violations from advertising to selling without a license in Ohio. “Vehicle dealers should follow the laws in Ohio or we will take action on behalf of Ohioans to protect consumers,” said Attorney General Petro. Consumer complaints allege misrepresentations at the point of sale. In one example, a motor vehicle that was advertised wasn’t the motor vehicle the consumer received, but the consumer was told that the motor vehicle was of equal or better value. Consumers experienced hidden charges such as service contracts, accessories, destination, freight, dealer prep and handling fees. Other complaints stated consumers received their motor vehicles during non-business hours and when they had questions about the contract, they were told to call the dealer during business hours. None of the dealers are incorporated or licensed in Ohio, and several allegedly improperly sold advertising and vehicles in Ohio. There were several alleged violations that pertained to the dealers’ advertising techniques. Many ads did not contain the required disclosures. Important information, such as material costs, was not clearly and conspicuously displayed in the ads, which would be a violation of the Consumer Sales Practices Act. The suit asks the court to prevent the dealerships from further violations of the Consumer Sales Practices Act. It also asks for consumer restitution and civil penalties of $25,000 per violation.

One more reason that I bought my 10 in my home state of Illinois instead of up the road in Monroe, MI. The good dealers here in Michigan must be few and far between.
