Almost pulled the trigger on a dolmar 6100 good deal?

[CoreyB]

I almost bought a dolmar 6100 yesterday but I am a slow buyer. The dealer I think offered a fair deal.
He would take my stihl 029 for trade and give me 3 new chains 20 in bar and the 6100 all for $407.00 out the door.
I think I may should take it. What are your thoughts?

That's a good deal

Go back before he changes his mind

It's a good deal IF the 290 isn't doing the jobs you need it to. Around here a good 290 is an easy sale at $250 anytime. If his regular price with those chains and bar is less than 407 plus what you could sell your 290 for, then take you time deciding. The 029 and 290 saws have cut a lot of firewood for people. Yes they're clammshell deign, and no they're not in the pro category, but they'll last a long time.

I would do the trade any day of the week! The 029/290 may sell for a lot of money, but for those who know a little more, it is no match whatsoever for a 6100!

Your nuts if you dont buy it for that price.

400 bones barely buys you a clamshell stihl these days.

I'd jump on it! The 6100 is a Much better saw than a 029!!!

The upgrade and deal offered is a no brainer.
Take your time considering.
You'll never look back once you switch.

Old thread resurrected. And yes, I'm pretty sure that he did go ahead and buy it.

Oh ya 2 years of very glad I did. The 6100 is still my favorite saw.
