My Honda dealer charged me $85 for the light, installed. I didn't want the electric start but they gave me a $150 discount on it. So elecric start for $50 was a good deal. My whole package came to $2,537 for a 928TAS. Bare bones is how Honda likes things. Look at anything they make except cars. Honda is into reliability over features. The tracks were just too much for my wife to muscle around our driveway. I posted pics of the Toro in another thread. Too bad I didn't take pics of the Honda. I'm sure that if you had bought a Toro you'd have found it was a good machine. Honda really needs to add skid steer (dual ones like Toro has) to their tracked models which would make them unstoppable. I see a lot of old snowblowers rusting in driveways, not in use, at least your snapper got used. New toys are always nice.
Steve the machine you payed 2,500 for is 2,700.00 here in jersey this time of year. with the electric start and honda light kit.
Then slap 7% sales tax on that. ouch! That is what made me look for a used one in good shape .. I'm sure that toro is one fine machine,or people wouldnt be buying them. From what I read there track record is outstanding...

Here in NH there is no sales tax which is a huge benefit and about the only one we get considering how high our property taxes are. I think all the top brands in the higher models are all pretty good. Ariens, Honda, Simplicity and Toro. If they weren't they wouldn't sell so many every year.
