Hi Patrick,pdouglas wrote:tnertfuclosure,
I've been looking to buy a Kimber Ultra Carry II.
I live in Houston, what is your price if you don't have to deliver it?
I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that, but I just got quoted $850 to buy a new one so I don't know if saving $100 is worth buying a 3 year old one. Just being honest because I'm very serious about buying VERY soon.
Thanks,
Patrick
My .02 cents on the subject if you don't mind.. I would buy the $750.00 used as long as it's in good condition for the following reason..
1. 1911 and kimber ultra does not depreciate much.. A well taken cared of gun will be floating on the 675.00 ( grab it if you find one) to $750 ish. Price.. The new one at $850.00 will have to carry sales tax or FFL fee and shipping.
2. The new one at $ 850.00 will have one magazine.. This one got three w/ bumper upgrades.. It has the hogue grips and original grip. There's the $ 100.00 difference, easily.
3. When you get tired of it or just want to sell it, you can sell it for $ 750.00 or you want to sell it quick Sell it for $ 695.00 so you lose $ 55.00, it's the cost of having it and shooting it...
Now that's just me, my humble opinion.. My service manager just got he's CHL today ( he's also my shooting buddy) and he's looking into a 1911 carry.. Yes, we've checked the new ones online and what I've told him was exactly what I've posted here..The key is the condition of the gun and integrity of the seller....If the seller still have the Kimber on his trip to Dallas, please email me and I will refer you to my service manager or we can talk about it..
Hey, Travis sorry to hi-jack your thread but you've got it concluded anyway!!
