Guy posting Jonsered Turbo 2165 for $375. He doesn't know year he bought it new but states it has little use. What do you guys think? Good deal?
 
Is this definitely a Pro saw?
 
Its a pro saw. Hard to tell you if it is a good deal without pictures or more details. For example, if the piston is scored, no it is not a good deal.
woodhog73 did a write up recently in this thread:

Where it says 2166, insert 2165 and you'll get the idea. No need to repeat here, he provides a great explanation already. Also, if you want to know the saw's age, it has a tag on it with a serial#. Post a pic of that or the serial # and we'll be able to tell you the year it was built. The tag will be just above the bar oil tank.

It's 65 cc instead of 70cc but I wouldn't let that stop you. They cut like a 70cc class saw should cut if they are running well and in good condition. They are proven saws and have been around for years.
