Is $200 a good price for a 2006 Maclaren Techno XT - brand new from the store?

No... no money ... and no need for it yet - LOL! I went to BRU yesterday and compared the Quest and Techno. The Quest is much much lighter. Well, only a few pounds but it felt so much lighter - a noticable difference. We never used a stroller often (and we still managed to break all the cheap ones), so I don't know if we need the full recline of the Techno. Nice for napping and newborns, but not sure if it's worth the extra pounds: a newborn can be carried in a sling and a tired baby can nap anywhere if they're tired enough so a less-than-full-recline should be fine. So not sure if we'll get the Techno or Quest when the time comes...

I have both. I prefer the Techno for the taller handles even though at 5'2" I really don't need them The Quest does weigh less though and fold smaller so if space is an issue we use the Quest...it is our car stroller The Techno IMO handles better outdoors though

I saw this, but two things kept me from wanting it - LOL!
- the color
- it's a 2005 which I believe was 17 lbs whereas the 2006 is 14.2 (is that correct...?)

To be honest I am not really sure. I think only the Classic weighed in at 17# this one lists the weight at 13.9 for an 06 http://www.albeebaby.com/ma20teclstin1.html
I am not sure of the accuracy of the weights, but for $30 less the extra 3# might be worth it to someone?

I bought my 2005 Mac Techno XT last summer at Costco for $188, and even used, they are going for close to that, from what I've seen. I think it's worth $200. It's a nice stroller if you're a bit taller (I'm *barely* 5'1" and it's a smidge tall for me) and does push and fold nicely. We have the Cornflower blue and it's really pretty- IIRC, the Wisteria is very close to the Cornflower color.

we have a maclaren which we paid more for than we could have found online, but we bought from an authorized dealer.
keep in mind that maclaren is VERY PICKY about warranty repairs. they will not repair strollers under warranty if they were purchased from a non-authorized dealer. i don't believe albeebaby is an authorized dealer. just FYI...

Albee Baby IS an authorized dealer, and they have a store in NY in addition to their online operations. It's "Baby Dealz" that is not an authorized dealer.
