    Quote from a warn dealer.
    "
    He also said those $400 warn winches are refurbished from old parts J so there.
    He said Warn couldn’t compete with the Smitty’s, so they started making rebuilds and selling them cheaper to compete. Put your winch to a test with their $400 winch and theirs will fall apart. Yours (but of course Bif) is a performance high class Warn winch.

    You might want to call your dealer and see if you got a refurb.

    Ha!

    I think your boy friend is the one that needs to verify. Where is he getting his info.

    The new version of the m8000 just came out a few months ago and that is what is in my garage. I call b.s.

    I wouldn't talk to a warn dealer, call warn directly. Just because someone is a dealer doesn't mean they know what they are talking about or us lying to get you to buy from them at an inflated price. Maybe he has to justify charging more because he can't compete with volume sellers.

    Warn would get into a lot of trouble selling refurbished parts labeled as new. Just not going to happen. Can you say law suit.
