every cat has its good points and bad points-----if you have twisty trails---tucker---if you have straight runs----pistenbully ---but anyways----how about the guy that is a tucker dealer and he is sitting with nothing to do-----lol-----and he is on cl. and he comes to an add for a used tucker---lets say a used 1644----and its at the tucker factory as a trade in and the ad says call factory----nice to see the factory does back door deals-------------one big OUCH to tucker dealers-----
My understanding is Tucker has an east coast dealership- Get-Sno Equipment in Newport, Vermont (Formerly Cook's Equipment) and a midwest dealership - Track, Inc in Bloomington, Minnesota. The Tucker factory handles the western US. I believe the factory takes trades in on new machines and just like a car dealership "wholesales" some machines and resells others. (If you look at Tucker's website they have several machines for sale.)
In fact, the 1980 1644 in the Craigslist ad is also listed on Tucker's website and there's more detail: Chrysler 318 V-8, 4-speed transmission, front winch, 834 hours. Nice 1644's are hard to find, but I was just really surprised at the price...
