$200 Husqvarna, worth it?

[adhuffman9]

I found what the current owner refers to as a "350 model" Husqvarna chainsaw which he says has a 52cc powerplant. It's been used twice and appears to be almost brand new. Can someone tell me if this saw is worthy of the $200 price tag? Unfortunately, no other info has been provided about the saw.

Yes, in that condition it's well worth $200!

Worth is up to you. I pass on the 350's around here in like new shape from $100 to $150. Good little saws for the money. $200 would be the high limit IMO if like new.

I just bought a 575xp for just a little more than that. It is not like new but I bought from a repair shop for the P/C and labor cost.....Seems a little high to me....

The 350 new sold for $340 in this area. I believe the last year for them was 2008.

Thanks for the input guys. I think I'll at least make an offer.

I love a 350. $2-250 is the going rate used here. If it's been used twice, that's a good deal IMO. Certainly not overpriced.

I'd pay the 200, no problem.

If you are going to pay that much for one make sure it has the three bolt muffler on it.

I think this saw would be worth an extra $75-

Hell yeah!

Hell yeah!

It's pretty stout!

It's pretty stout!

I'd much rather have a 353!

You can get brand new 353 with 16" for $395 out the door and 2 year warranty.

To the OP:

If the 350 has the bar and maybe a few goodies, the 200.00 isn't bad. The good news is, when a used saw this size hits the 200 dollar mark people start thinking about a new saw. With that in buyer's minds, the seller won't move it too quickly if he is firm on the price.

Good saw for the money IMHO. :msp_thumbup:

It feels sooo good!

I picked it up for $175 Thanks again for everyone's help.:chainsawguy:
