Stihl ms 660 real or fake ?

[Alejandra]

Dear forum members ,
I am in the Netherlands but this chainsaw is listed in Nicaragua where i need to buy a new chainsaw and came accross this one but then i am unsure if it’s genuine . I need to decide asap and do not have the knowledge to identify if it’s an original . The owner says it’s 100 % original .
It’s a MS 660 made in Brazil and the owner is asking for 600 usd it comes in the box with 3 extra chains , keys , gloves , stihl oil , fuses, glasses. I have been researching for hours before putting this post but cannot find a stihl ms 660 online with pictures and that says made in brazil .
Any help would be much appreciated .

That looks like the real deal to me.

The thing is that there are a lot of fake Chinese products in Nicaragua and i people are warning me.
I personally cannot find a picture of a Stihl MS 660 where it says Made in Brazil below the Logo shown on the first and second picture. Thank you

If it's a fake, it's a good one.

Do you have the serial number?

No but i can ask ? Will do right away . Does every Stihl come with a serial number ?

 

[DND 9000]

Of course, every original Stihl has a serial number.

Not to say whether it's real or fake but I would think that a fake would say "Made in Germany" rather than "Made in Brazil".

buy it

from those pics i would say thats probably a real one, but as said above, finding the serial # out would solve it.

What's up with the decal on the front of the case?

Welcome to AS.
Yup the sticker on the front case with big letters "Stihl" is different.

What are you trying to say ? It could be a fake ?
Am still awaiting the serial number

Total fake. Don't buy it unless it's under 300.

The huge red flag is the price, if it sounds too good to be true—————-

It looks like it was "bring your daughter to work day" at the factory decal department... the day after the box of funny looking, skinny chinese parts arrived.

That looks like a Brazilian saw

What are you basing that on?

I would not buy a "new" saw unless it was from a dealer. Just my opinion. There are to many fakes out there.
