Just looked at a 650 for $899. Not sure about the 660.. I'm going to get an 066 used.. With my 455 and 064 that should be enough.. Steve

I don't think so. Local shop just sold one with a 28" bar for $1,000. It was "bagged and tagged" ready for the guy to pick it up. I think you did fine.

That is a pretty decent price, I think they are over a grand with a 30+ " BAR around here last time I was in the Dealership two weeks ago

I'm also in the market for a MS660 w/36"bar and I was quoted $1060.00 I believe, so I'd say you did fine.

Thats a good buy. The first thing you will want to do to it is modd the muffler or purchase the dual port. Lets it run like it is suppose to.

I'll say that's a good price.I bought two four years ago,both with 28's,and I paid around 900 each.They gave me a little break because I bought two,their regualr retail price was 940 at the time

Good, I'm thinking I'm going to go with Wescos, custom fit/custom build

Absolutely fair.

Those Stihl bars cost a pretty penny too, so that is definately a consideration.

I am surprised at how well they wear though.
I have seen very well used saws that have bars still in pretty good shape.

After a year, even if you paid a few bucks more, hopefully that dealer will be there for ya.

Congrats on the saw. Those 660s are among the best saws ever.
