I just grabbed an HS928 from south of Boston last Thursday night- is that the one you are talking about? I was the third person to look at it and took it with me. Nice machine, not a mark on it and in perfect condition. Brian Midfiman - You wouldn't happen to be from MA and scored the 928 tracked model listed on Craigslist in Metro West MA? If so, my brother looked at that unit last Thursday and called to buy it this morning.....but it was already sold. Just curious if you're the new lucky owner. Either way. Congrats on the new purchase. Great choice. |

I just picked up an exceptionally clean 928 TAS from the original owner. There was virtually no wear anywhere on the machine. He serviced it regularly and the machine was very clean, inside and outside. It performed perfectly on the 'test blow'. I paid $1,400 for the blower, was glad to get it and thought I got a very good deal on it. He thought he made out well too so everybody was happy. There just are not many of these machines up for sale and even fewer that are virtually perfect and because the do not change over the years the age of the machine is less important than the machine's overall condition. If the machine you are looking at does not show signs of use and abuse, does everything it is supposed to do properly, has no odd noises or leaks then I would think it was worth the $1,200, assuming it is an electric start, tracked snowblower (TAS). Wheeled units are worth somewhat less, as are machines without electric starting. Brian Hello all, Still looking for that perfect snowblower (or close to it!). Someone is selling a 5 year old Honda 928 for $1200. Would you consider that a good deal. He said he used it normal for 3 yrs, lightly for the last 2 and did regular oil change maintenance every year on it. There is no rust on the machine. I was thinking of getting Ariens Deluxe/Pro or Simplicity Pro but I've heard from many that Honda is creme de la creme. What do you guys think? Thanks! SP |
