Came across an opportunity today to buy a 028 AV for $100. Original owner passed and wife is cleaning house. She doesn't recall exactly when he bought it but just remembers its been a long while. It has the original 18in bar (used but in great shape), sharpening tools & case. Seemed to have good compression but maybe a leaky oiler. Supposedly last time it was used was about 6mo ago, so it had fairly fresh gas. Gave it a try and started right up on 3rd pull with no prime.
For the price it seems too good to be true for a Stihl. But was this a popular model? Easy to get parts for? I only use my saws for light work around the house, fire wood when camping...etc stuff like that.
