Quick 500i question..

[CsClimber]

Are these available for import to US by anyone on here at the moment? If so, how much shipped to NY?

I’ve got a local Stihl dealer that would be interested in taking a peak if I was able to get my hands on one

In other news: The 462 has landed at that same dealer. Nice!

After the release in march that would be no problem.

Jeez! Tell him to buy his own damn saw if he wants to look at one! Lol.







Just kidding with ya, they aren't on the market yet. Gotta wait until some time in March if they get released on schedule. You'll be looking at close to 1700 clams.

Local dealer says in his book U.S. list is $1399
The 500 units are out for field testing to professional volunteers who must return for engineers nose sticking

Nope they are sold to normal customers in germany.
I think it has something to do with the logging championships as they only allow chainsaws that are regulary sold/produced. and Stihl used the MS 500i fpr the championships.

Ouch! Made my wallet run and hide under the couch...lol!

 

[Stihlms]

So 1400 dollars for a 500i ??

Screw that, don't care how good it is on fuel as it would take a long time to make up the cost for fuel savings.

The prices their trying to sell these saws folks will beg for the return of the unloved 441!

That might exactly be the plan. I hear there is a boat load of 441’s in the USA.
