026 for $325

He says it is in great shape with a 20" bar, is this a good deal? Or should I talk him down?

Unless it has a brand new bar and chain, is in totally mint condition, and comes with a warranty, I would not even consider paying that much...

 

[Bowtie]

Too much money.

 

[Rftreeman]

$250 at the most.........

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

Clean, solid running, with a good bar and chain a 026 is worth 200-250$

It took me a month but I bought one in good shape for $195.

:agree2:

I paid less with new piston and rings installed, new oil pump, gear sprocket and warranty for my 026.

 

[biggenius29]

Thanks

It looks clean and all, but I will have to talk him down a hundred bucks or so.

I bought one from a Stihl dealer. He had rebuilt the carb, put on new air filter and new chain. The plastic was all good and I got a 30-day warranty. $225

For that price you can have the 034 that Tony at Amick's has had in his used section for awhile.

I got mine for $150 from a fellow AS member... (you know who you are!)

Nice saw! (I wouldn't pay over $225 for one, but that's just me)

Before I bought it, I went to an auction last summer. It was a rental place going out of business. I went early to check out the saws, they had 2 ms260 pros. One was pretty rough, the other looked good. I took it outside and started it, It ran decent, idle was way high and chain was loose, but I thought for the right price I'd pick it up.

I bid up to $200 on it (it was a "choice" auction, I hate those), the damn things went for $365. They were RENTALS! People get crazy at auctions.

I got a 260 in good shape with a dull chain for $165 last year. It needed a carb adjust and a woke up with a muffler mod.

 

[Oldsawnut]

Get the 034 from amicks... They are great saws and that one looks to be in awsome shape. Hurry up before it tempts me too much

 

[biggenius29]

I just found out that me dealer has a 260 for $250, I emailed the guy back and asked him if he can compete with that. I will see what he says, givven I do have to travel for it, (I do get in the area for work once a week.) And he says it has a sharpening guide, saftey helmet and hearing protection along with a 16" and 20" bar (which I have.) With chains for both.

I paid $250 for my 026. Sounds like alot but other than some cosmetic, the saw is a great runner. The compression was 175psi when I received it.

 

[biggenius29]

How does a 026 compare to the 260? Are they the same saw weight wise or would the 260 be any lighter?
