Stihl BR380 a good deal?

Looking for some professional feedback on this deal. I know there's no way for you to see all the possible faults, but I contacted the seller on this and am planning to a trip to take a look. He's asking $200, says it has only been used by him in his yard.

What do you think? Is it a good deal (assuming it's in good shape)?

Also, any pointers on what I should be looking for when I got to view it? Anyone had issues with this particular model? It looks a few years old (the new BRs have round casings, right?)

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have one its a good blower, not as powerful as the 600 but it will do the job. I have had mine for 4-6 years I dont remember. I have never had a problem with it...

It looks pretty clean I would go 170. Pull should have decent resistance to it. Should fire from cold on third pull. Fuel lines might be brittle and ready to be replaced. Not a deal breaker but bargaining leverage.
