Ariens ST926DLE for $999
Original Message   Aug 12, 2005 3:56 pm
Hi, A local dealer is selling new ST926DLE for $999. I need a new snowblower and would like to know what people think of this machine and if it is worth the price. I live in southern mass and last year we got slammed with snow. One storm dropped 36 inches.

Thanks

Matt

That's a very good price for that model.  I have one and the going price last year was $1,495.00 I believe.   I might suggest a little more power like the 11526 Pro DLE.  I believe the price on that model was $400 more making it like $1,895.  If he is offering these discounts I would go for it.

BUT the specs for the 2006 sound great. see, the discussion re: same. Is it a 2005 or a 2006?

You might offer  some details about what you are using it . The guys here will have you up to a "2148" in no time - just in case.

The fact is most folks buy a 7 or 8hp and it does their driveway, walkways etc in a reasonable amount of time. You can buy one that will do a quick job for most of the snowfalls, or you can buy one that will make quicker work of  major storms , drifts, and end of driveway piles. It will be heavier, more costly, take more room to store, and make you very popular with neighbors!

$999 is a really good price for that model. Folks are asking $800 to $850 for 1-2 year used 8hp Ariens .

You'll see from another thread that Ariens has made quite a few changes for this season, hence the question about year.

I'm in your neck of the woods and I'd recommend a minimum of an 8hp.. and a 9 is even better!

I think that's an awesome price. I'd jump on it if I needed one!

I went to the dealer today and he told me it was a misprint and the ad was wrong. The model without the locking differentials,  handwarmers, and with a l-head engine was $999. The delux model was $1500. I complained but he wouldn't budge on his price. So I didn't buy one. I will have to wait for a deal.

That's too bad.  The non differentials are a deluxe model.  Ariens sometimes throws in a cheaper model with a differential either in the deluxe line or the pro line.
