MS241 C-M 18" Bar & Chain

He should be fired for selling saws under cost.

Just pointing out that the dealership also had to pay freight charges to get the saw to the store.
If it was a saw out of a spring or fall order, the dealer would have gotten free freight.
The object of business is to make money, not sell things at a loss.

But it's ok for him to say it was my place to pay freight on both saws?

 

[HarleyT]

No, just pointing out that the dealer had to pay shipping on the saw to get it to their store, and they sold a new saw under their cost!!!
The guy needs to figure out things, so the store doesn't go out of business.

 

[HarleyT]

With the size of the box, the cost to ship both saws is likely the same as if there was only 1 in there......

 

[HarleyT]

The saws used to be shipped without bars and chains to save on freight costs, but recently they switched to 2 saws {with bars and chains} in 1 box.

 

[HarleyT]

But don't be mad at this guy, he saved you a lot of cash. If I lived close, I would buy all of my saws from him!!!

No I didn't get to use it. Incase you missed my other post, the "Stihl Tech" that assembled my saw had put a 0.043 PMM3 chain rated at 2.0 hp on my 0.050 3.1 hp saw. He said Stihl didn't send a chain with it so he used one off the shelf. But when they ordered my saw they ordered two, and the saw my salesman was assembling for me had the PS3 chain. But the mechanic insisted he had "my" saw ready to go. This is the same mechanic that told me the day I ordered it that Stihl didn't make a 241. Then yesterday when we were picking it up, he told me that it didn't have M-Tronic and told my father-in-law that the 241 was built like a Pro saw but wasn't considered a Pro saw by Stihl.

They did have an employee meet me after they closed to give me a chain. I at least got a real chisel chain.

I posted the whole bs story on all the local "what's going on in the area" Facebook pages. I've had several dealers offering me discounts to come to their stores from now on. So I'm going to take them up on it. My contact friend at the Stihl manufacturering plant is the one that told me it was supposed to have a PS3 chain on it when I called him after discovering it had a narrow. Kerf chain.

That was quite the reply. For being so long, it's amazing that you seem to have missed my point, or at least chose not to address it. If you want to buy more stuff from Stihl, go for it. I won't try to stop you.

Also, that chain they have you is not a full chisel chain.

 

[HarleyT]

Yeah, it is the picco micro chain. But he should be happy with the deal he has gotten thus far....

Can’t forget the free orange saw case.

 

[sunfish]

Wow, this is weird ****!

A brief analogy, ask Einstein about the theory of relativity and when he answers tell him he’s wrong.

I run my 241 on a Stihl 1.6mm/.063, 15" mostly, what a weapon of a saw. The only other saw i fell in love with straight away was the outstanding 550xp.

The only full chisel LoPro chain Stihl makes is the 63PS/63PS3. What you have is semi-chisel.

I want bar 3005 000 4817. Where is the best place to get it?

Also Brad says I'm over complicating, but I want to go to rim drive too. Anyone have that part #?

Why not buy 'em from the same place you bought the saw...?

PN and picture of kit was posted in one of your other threads.

 

[Preacher Mike]

As I pointed out on the other thread, the DEALER's cost is @ $450,
so what is up?

I paid $440 + tax. But the salesman said he forgot to charge me freight when he gave me my quote, but I still got it for $440.

Bullchit.

well... Being a chain store like that, the management must not have too good of a grip on things.

The kid ordered a saw {paid shipping}, then sold it to a customer {under his cost}.

He should be fired....

You seem upset by this transaction. I humbly suggest that you let go of your anger.

 

[r black]

wow....ill take a 241cm for $440 with no bar and chain (or the wrong bar and chain ) cant touch one round these parts for that ...............

 

[HarleyT]

Forgive me preacher Mike!!

I thought the guy was bogus posting, but it turns out the saw guy is selling saws for less than he pays for them.

I wish that I lived there, I would be his greatest customer!!!!
