I got my eye on a 372xpw but am wondering if buying new is worth the price. How many here actually splurg on the new all the time?
New for the saw seems to be 800+ and used 350-500. Since I plan on keeping the saw for the better part of my life, I was thinking ahhh screw it, just get the new. Then I know it's background. Then I remember coming across a 395xp at an auction that started on the first pull and that sold for $230 (I know, F me).
Seems the Amish around here spiff up their saw's muffler with engine block paint before selling. Kinda my way (and apparently others) to tell age and wear on a saw.
I know many here get $$$ via a fund from their union or company for saws. So what are you blowing it on. New or Used?
