If you look long enough you will find one.

There was a fool in Dacono who had a 3 year old but never used Warn 8000. I called him and he would take $500 for it. I went over to his house with cash.

Another person called him from Wyoming before I got to his house. The Wyomingite offered $550. The fool told me, cash in hand, that I could have first dibs if the Wyomingite did not come through. I politely left.

I went home and ordered a new one, got it delivered for about $600 if I remember right.

The fool called me three days later. Wyoming had backed out on him. I thanked the fool for motivating me to spend the extra hunsky for a new one.

If you shop with cash in hand and you are not shy about offering less you can find a deal. There is a Warn dealer in Ft Collins that stocks winches they rebuild and that they will warranty.

Keep looking and good luck!

 

I bet i know who that was. Ive bought half of his jeep parts for next to nothing. Not sure what he was thinking on that one.
I rarely see Warn's on CL. If i see on cheap ill let you guys know

 

Yeah, I have more free time then I do money so rebuilding one sounded like fun to me. So if NTX changes his mind I'll will pick up the one from ClownPoop (Funny Sh!#, right there). I like playing with that kinda stuff.

CL is wlways a gamble. Sometimes it's a good deal. Sometimes the people make you drive for an hour and a half and then don't show or answer their phone while you wait for them in the king soopers parking lot.

 

Check out winchdepot.com. They have the Warn M8000 with a free wirelss remote for $539 and free shipping. A little bit more than what I paid for mine last year. Got it for $499 shipped and no taxes.

 

its funny...i said the same about CL. Some of these old warns are cool but they are junkyard trash and they still ask $600 for it. The cables are so kinked from sitting under a junk car for 15 years but somehow its a bargain to them.

 

I just had a guy in Rochester, New York call me about stuff I posted in the Denver area of CL. I would rather put it in the trash then try to box it up and ship it.
