I have been working the CL "Weber" search button & have settled on these 3 for me charcoal grills. Not sure if anyone cares, but there are some amazing deals to be had on CL, if you are patient.
This one I got for $40 & this model has a special name I think, butt can't remember it right now. I checked the code on the vent & it's a 1991. I bought it last fall & didn't really do anything with it until last weekend. I was determined to rid me patio of some grills, so I took all the best parts off 3 kettles I had & put them on this one
..... It did have wood handles, but I traded them in for plastic/nylon, painted the botton rack & ash collector Black, put the best aluminum tri-pod posts on it & nice wheels & cleaned it up. It came with the hinged grate & the side charcoal cups. I bought it a tool rack & nice Black Weber cover for storage. I like this one a lot. 
This Performer was located 10 minutes from me house & the folks were moving...... It went up for sale @ $150.00 & I emailed them the next day. The lady said someone was coming to pick it up, I said if it doesn't work & you need it gone, I'll give you $125.00 & pick it up whenever you want..... Couple days later, she emailed back to come & get it. This one is in really nice condition, close to brand new & I think it's the most current model/design. It also has the propane assist lighting feature, that is really slick I think it is missing the "moon" hubcaps, have to look into that.
I got this one on Sunday..... It came up on CL late Saturday night about 11pm & they were asking $50.00. I immediately emailed them & said I would pay up to $125.00 depending on condition. Figured it would be gone immediately, but I got a call 8:30 Sunday & the fellow said I was the first to reply of the 10 emails they got on it, so it's yours I'll see you at 2:00..... I figured he would now want $125.00 or close to it, because I opened my big mouth
But, he said not bad for $50 eh? .... They had bought the house next door to them & the old owners left it in the house. He said they almost took it to the dump 
.... I opened it up, rusty grates, no biggie, but everything was in place, looked pretty good & the propane assist fired up first try. It also came with the thick Black cover & it needed a good cleaning that took aboot 45 minutes. It's about a 8.5-9 outta 10 (2 scratches on the lid) & I got it for $50.00 had to drive 1.5 hour round trip to get it, but figured it was worth it.

Now I gotta do something with me patio, looks like crap with all that shiny metal & plastic arooond.
