The 2.0 was $999 recently as it was discontinued and there's two new Ambition models, 1.0 and 1.5, for $799 and $1099. There are probably still a lot of new, unsold 2.0's at dealers. Since much of the trouble was related to the thread cutter, the 2.0 and 3.0 wouldn't be affected by all the same problems. Personally, I would only buy a 4.0 with a written commitment from the dealer for at least a 90 day money back guarantee. A lot of dealers didn't acknowledge the problems and still don't. At least be sure to test drive the actual machine you'd get.
