Where are you seeing that price? Is this a Costco in Canada or the US?
I was on the fence about buying a lower cost winch but after hearing about the different problems with these winches and almost nothing negative about Warn winches, I decided to hold out for a Warn.
For me it will be a very occational use item but since most of the time I will need this I will be alone on the trail, this item could become a life or death situation very quickly. What do I want to trust my and my families life on?
For what it's worth you can get a Warn M8000 for $517 shipped from here,

Sure it's more then the Champion or Mile Marker listed at Costco but it's not $1000 as most people seem to quote.
My .02 worth.
I know this is an old post, but I guess Warn just did a price hike.. $959 @ winchdepot now.. nuts...
Up until just a few months ago the price was still in the $550 range w/free shipping. It jumped to $600+ and has been climbing ever since. They're even charging a few bucks for shipping now. With the economy in the tank, you'd think prices would decrease.Holy crap. I have heard of inflation but come on, almost double the price. :Wow1:
