Is brand new Toro 221Q worth $450 + Tax?

So do you guys think that a brand new Toro 221Q is worth $450 + tax?

It is a bit of drive from my house to this dealer. Not sure if this is a better machine than Toro 621R and new 621R costs around $499 + tax.

I'd buy it.  That's a pretty good price.  Remember that it's got a two cycle engine, which in my opinion, is a good thing.   I think I paid $599.00 CDN for mine last January at HD and thought that was an excellent deal.

In the last two years, this same model was $600, with very little discount.  I guess Toro is feeling the competition between the Poulan Pro / Husqvarna and the B&S derivative models with 208cc engines for less than $500.  I just hope future Toro models aren't cheapened to stay competitive, like the Honda HS621 was replaced by the HS520.

That's a good price.  I would get it, that's the 2 stroke engine that's been around for a while so reliability is proven.  Now that there are new 2 stroke snowblowers, they probably get good resale value in the used market.
