I paid $1300 for a new Stihl 462 non M-tronic fresh off the porting bench & $1050 for a new Stihl 661 non M-tronic, that hasn’t been modded... yet. If I had another $1300 burning a whole in my pocket I would own a Stihl 500i.

Some guys have imported 500i saws, but they're not being sold through the USA dealers yet, as far as I know. Scuttlebutt seems to be that they will be released to USA dealers around October-November.

Whatever that 500i is worth... looks like a fascinating saw.
Sounds like the 500I is going to be a hit!
Went to the store today to pick up a few spares to make a little kit to keep in the chainsaw box and couldn’t resist a look and pick up of the bigger saws. 361, 462 and 661. As fun as it was, they are all too bulky and heavy for my needs, but they sure would be a blast to use!

ahah, went in without a saw and left without one! The better half would haveSo you didn't pick up a 201T and go " I wonder........"?
The 500i model has been available in the UK for several months now, an acquaintance I know has one and likes it a lot, dealer in the next county sends them out the door for GBP 985. Our local dealer is at GBP 1325, go figure that out
That’s an amazing price! Here you won’t even get the ms 462 for that!
Never bought a (brand) new saw, never will. But some of the saws I own did take some (and sometimes ridiculous) reasoning and talking 
. Most expensive saw I ever bought was about $800 US - a Yanmar rotary engine chainsaw.
General price range for me was 50 - 100 bucks if complete, not running OK. But I am healed now - haven't bought one in 3 years

@AlfA01
What's your price shipped to Australia
For a 462 or 500i
I know they pay a premium for saws there.
I wouldn’t import a saw because should any problems arise i’d be stuffed haha.
I must admit, the MS180 I own is so refreshingly easy to work on that those simple machines i’d be happy to, but fuel injected or m-tronic I don’t think would be as easy some how

The only saw I ever bought new was my first saw, a Poulan 2300AV (38cc) in about 1982. Still have it. Non-working saws are so much cheaper and fun to fix.
