I don't think I've seen them marked down. I'm on my second.  The first lasted 15 years and then I sold it for $100.  All the guts were rusted out and the top lid hinges were broken.  We probably fire up ours 3-4 times per week in the summer/fall.  Maybe once a week the rest of the year.  My dad used to think it was better to by cheap grills.......he now has a Weber.
