Well....that is in the eye of the beholder I would say.....great pro saw and very pleasant to run especially in cold weather. The cons would be hard to get parts for. Probably not a saw to have to depend on to make a living though it once was. On the other hand if you want another saw to compliment others probably a good deal....$100 doesn't take you very far in the quality chainsaw world. Make certain the heated handle switch works in both positions as they are very hard to come by. It looks to be pretty low hour so I would guess it has a lot of life left.
