Is this legit? -Need help

I have found this shop that sells ATVs online. However, it seems a bit strange and the prices are very competitive.

What do you think?

100atvs.com - 100 ATVs LLC Special Offers

One of things I don't like, is their limited ways of accepting payment, no CC or PayPal etc.

Any tricks on how to do a proper background research on a place like this?

Their domain was created for the first time a few weeks ago....

Using privacy mask on their domain registration...

And the photos on the "contact us" are stock photos...

An Alabama based company using a California based registration for their website, registered through an Australian Registrar compiled with a Facebook page garnering all of 2 likes and the only way you can buy from them is to send them your money and blind faith....and, oh yeah, their map on the 'contact us' page shows Escambia County........FL

In google Chrome as my browser ... I just right click with cursor on the photo and one of the options is "search google for this image"

It is actually kind of fun / scary sometimes as in this case !
