I bought two 394xp saws that were not running or not well for 300 put 300 into the two of them and one i had to put mo a new piston and rings and now i have two running saws. Most of the money was spent on the piston and rings and new anti vibe pieces. So far they have been great now if the weather and the snow will smarten up i can use them more. But with -30 weather and 2 ft of snow its hard to get motivated to use them. My last order of parts from the dealer just showed up so i can finish them off. Neither one of these two saws had been running for 3 years and they both needed new crank seals and carb kits. My prices are in Canadian which is always more than the US prices. So far they are great and have been fun to work on now i just need a mill for them.
