Stihl MS880 - Good price?

[BackoftheWoods]

Hi Guys,

 

Been struggling to find an 880 of Ebay and such at a decent price for a while now.

 

My local dealer has offered me a new 880 with 48 inch bar and chain at £1260 inc vat.

 

This seems like a fair price, what do you guys think?

 

Needed for milling.

 

Cheers

If your Vat registered you might as well buy new. I've been looking at a large chainsaw for a while MS660 ,390xp, or 395 xp etc. A Stihl MS660 needing a piston and maybe cylinder made allmost 500 on ebay yesterday! think a lot of the bigger saws have been on mills, that's hard continuous work I would guess.Have a good google,see if there are better prices out there. Dealers arn't meant to post out Syihl chainsaws,but you can use the price to negotiate.

If you want it for milling I would try to do a deal without the 48" bar. These are the Duromatic hard nosed and you want a sprocket nosed bar.

 

There are several options including Sugihara and GB which are cheaper and more suitable than a list price Duromatic.
