Jonsered 2165 identification

[JDH]

I have owned a 2050 for several years and am looking at purchasing a CS2165 but cannot identify the saw's year model. The numbers are as follows: CS2165 967 17 16-00 04 0600037. Thanks for your help.

i believe it is a june '04 model.

 

[JDH]

Thank you! It is being listed as a saw four months old instead of five years old.

 

[nmurph]

what are they asking for it?

 

[JDH]

It is being sold for $400.

It is being sold for $400.

New ones are sold anywhere between $500 and $600. I would pass on it.

 

[nhlogga]

yes. it is an '04. unless it is in new condition, pass on that one.

Thanks for the advice on the saw and detailed break down of production date. I will keep looking for a decent deal.

they have already lost a good bit of credibility. unless they can prove it is old stock i would pass on it, too. if they will let you run it good, check it over, maybe do a compression test you might consider offering $300 and going from there.

you can rely on spike's assessment of the build date.

Reminds me of an 028 I saw earlier this year. Said it was 6 month's old. :hmm3grin2orange:
