this is the stove i almost bought a month ago for 1800 he said is was 2 years old http://providence.craigslist.org/for/2769148629.html the truth finally came out as NOW he said it needs a control board glad i was told here to stay away from the older models

My understanding in regards to the older models is that as long as it has the upgraded burnpot and revised control board they are fine.

Control board is like $500 though, and who knows if it would even work after replacing that.

Nice. It wouldn't be a bad deal for someone with the know-how to get it up to snuff.

I always try to verify age on used stuff, as people seem to forget how old their stuff is.

06 was the first year of the AE and it took quite some time for quad to work out all the bugs.
