I purchased my model D in late 2003, six years ago. Since then, I've used it about an hour a day, six days a week and I have had absolutely no problems with it. The frame lock mechanism and the foot-stretchers have been very stable and have held up well.

I can't think of any product I've ever owned that has been more dependable than my model D. The appearance of the monorail artwork on the newer model may look different, but it's meaningless.

To me, the differences between model D rowers manufactured before and after August, 2006 seem to be very minute. If you find an older model D, have it checked out by an expert--preferably someone who sells and repairs C2's. If they tell you that it's in good condition and if the price is right, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
