went looking for a pacific energy insert ( medium size ) today ..dealer asked if i was interested in his 2 year old floor model ..all black ..minor scratches..which he would paint..price $ 1650.00... is this a decent deal ??
The PE pacific (mid-size) is selling for $2085.00 at the dealer in my area which by-the-way is located less than 4 blocks from the PE factory. Jump on it!!
$150-$200 discount for a two year old stove is not that great a great deal unless the stove is very low use. Offer him $1200 and see if you can settle on about $1350.

Agree. And I'm not sure the "he'll paint it" thing is necessarily a good thing. How good will the paint job be? What about in 6 months when the new paint is flaking off?
If you can't get it for a steep discount - 35% or more - scrape up the extra coin and go new - then you'll have recourse for issues, and you won't have to go hat in hand to a dealer who responds to your complaint, tritely, with, "well you knew you were buying a used stove as is."
Yes, very good point. I didn't read the OP closely enough. The only potential issues would be from moving it around or having people mistreat it, but those do seem unlikely to have resulted in damage.
yes.. this is a floor model ..not a used model...the interior is spotless ..i doubt it was ever burned in the showroom ...regardless i"ll try get the price down
