USA help for purchase of 440

Ekka · 2nd February 2008, 03:14 PM

I'm after a MS440 (not MS441), can any of you guys get priced minus bar/chain ... just need the power head.

Make sure your price includes any taxes as some states have them and others not.

Then needs to be boxed and sent to me, can square up with Paypal.

Let us know how you go with this Ekka.
I'm sure there would be alot of other aussie looking for "gifts" from our US friends.
Could work both ways, we get a good price, they get dealer discounts and a "donation"!!

wish i could help you.i get a good discount from the local stihl dealer and all i buy is parts.

quercus · 2nd February 2008, 08:53 PM

I could ask my dealer too... but it's gonna be tricky because they don't sell them here anymore. I guess I'll ask and let you know.

DBS · 2nd February 2008, 09:55 PM

I will look into this...again.....

I'll check and let you know. Might have to do some looking to find the 440.

quercus · 2nd February 2008, 10:57 PM

It'll be useless to ask my dealer. Our prices here seem to be WAY higher then USA prices. (according to the last chat with newguy...)

Therrin · 3rd February 2008, 01:58 AM

I'll actually have to *call* around, not just look around online...

Noone seems to have a shelf-ready price on their site, but many say they can get it, just call and work out the details. I'll see how it goes.

dannyboysfc · 3rd February 2008, 01:22 PM

Ekka I'll check tomorrow, I have a saw shop here that sells almost everything at discount for cash. Let you know tomorrow.

Ekka · 5th February 2008, 01:24 AM

Bump.

TREEMONKEY · 5th February 2008, 06:14 AM

I can get the 441 for $ 946.12 that is after the 14% taxs. And if their was a group of people buying i think they might be a little cheaper.(no Promises)

That is Canadian dollar it is very close to the american dollar within 5 cents.

the 440 is scarce.. i got a quote for the 441 but the 440 new will be tough to come by..

TREEMONKEY · 5th February 2008, 07:48 AM

Sorry never read not 441.

dannyboysfc · 5th February 2008, 06:21 PM

Asked at 2 shops today, both said that the 440 is no longer available. They sold their last one about a month ago.

Quintrex · 5th February 2008, 08:34 PM

Does anyone know if you can still get an 064?
I have an 066, but would love another new 064.
thanks

Therrin · 6th February 2008, 01:43 AM

Danny, I had the same problem when I called a couple places...

They only had one left in stock that was sold a while ago... almost noone has a new 440 anymore. I've got a couple more places to call though, we'll see.

Ekka, why the 440 not the 441? What do you like better about it?

TrevMcRev · 6th February 2008, 02:27 AM

Ekka there was 1 down here still recently, i can see if its still there but Aussie prices, although i should get a fair discount.

Otherwise try US ebay, you can find new/very near new saws on there cheap.

Therrin · 6th February 2008, 02:46 AM

Having bought my 200T on ebay....

The condition is always iffy. I'm sure Ekka knows that, but for the rest of you... They'll talk it up as much as possible. Even spoke to them on the phone about it. They claimed it was only used on "about 5 trees"...., and that out of the 3 200T's they were selling, that they were sending me the best one!!! (riiiiiiiight......)

When I got it, it looked like it had about 400 hours use on it, lol. Needed $175 worth of rebuild, and now it's cruisin decently. Especially watch when they say "new bar and chain!" Because the old bar would have shown you how much use it had gotten.

Also, if the one in the picture looks "brand new", ask them to privately send you some pictures from all angles of the saw that they are actually selling you; since many just use the manufacturer's pictures to advertise their saws.
